To my knowledge this is the 12th puzzle in this "series" (IQ Puzzlers in the "pocket" format) to be released in the U.S. by SmartGames. I own all of them and have spent several hours in each one of them. I love having one at my desk and just solving a puzzle or two as a take a break between tasks. Honestly, I stick with most of the "Junior" level challenges, maybe doing a few in "Expert" or "Master" occasionally. I just put a little dot with a pen by solved puzzles in the booklet, and I enjoy working my way through them. Each of these IQ puzzles are "packing problems" (try to fit all of the pieces in a designated space following the rules.) Each one has some has some little element or "twist" differentiating it from a task of simply fitting pieces on the board. In the case of IQ Digits, all the pieces are shaped like digital numerals 0-9. Many of the puzzles will give you some of the pieces, but will also start telling you the sum of some of the empty ("in-between") spaces if you were to add up all of the adjacent numerals. When you read through the directions, you'll also learn that the white lines surrounding the "sum" will indicate how many edges from a single piece contribute to that sum. It takes just a minute to "get it". It's a pretty simple rule set. The challenges are great, and they increase in difficultly smoothly through the 120 challenges. I typically start on the early "Junior" level challenges and work my way up until they get a bit too demanding on my brain :) Even though I rarely do all 120 levels of any given puzzle, I do MANY in each, and get more than my money's worth out of each one. I'll put one away for several months and pull it out again and redo the puzzles. This and "IQ-Circuit" were both released this year, and both are wonderful additions to the series. IQ-Digits is a larger size than all the rest. This bugged me just a tiny bit :) But honestly they couldn't have reasonably fit it in the same size, and I'm very happy they released it! All in all, this is just a wonderful puzzle, if you enjoy solving these types of packing problems.

This game is fun and gets difficult fast. I use these types of puzzles for my Parkingson's Disease. They are a bit difficult to pick up so it helps with dexterity, i also find arranging the initial pieces to set up the puzzle good for cognitive skills as well. It requires mental acuity prior to the 'playing' of the actual game of figuring out where the remaining numbers go.

Great for fine motor movement, cognitive thinking and visual perception. Was introduce to IQ games during Physical Therapy treatment after having a brain injury. Would highly recommend to gain neuroplasticity. Very engaging thinking puzzle game. My grandchildren (ages 6, 8 15 ) love working with IQ games also, I give it to them to improve their cognitive thinking instead of being on an iPad

I own several IQ Games and this is possibly my favorite one. Using digits 0-9 you have to arrange them to fit in the puzzle. There are 120 puzzles to solve and they get progressively harder. It is great for road trips or playing when you have a few minutes at home. The puzzle is enjoyable for kids about 7 years and up. As an adult I like it just as much, if not more, than the kids. It is well made and sturdy. I highly recommend it if you like puzzles that make you think a little bit.

Best game! This is a favorite in our family. Even for those that don’t like math. Portable and easily fits in a purse or backpack. Excellent quality. Highly recommend.

This is a great puzzle game. It can be challenging at times especially when starting out...getting your gray matter to recognize the shapes. There are 120 challenges and they get progressively harder. But, for me, the challenge varied a lot in all the difficulty levels. My eyes would just see the solutions in some and I would solve it in seconds. But others would take some time. I was able to get through all of the puzzles without using the solutions printed in the back of the manual, except #120. I tried for a long time and finally had to hang my head and cheat. I really enjoyed playing the puzzle and gave me some time away from screens. It's a good puzzle toy.

Very useful.

Good game for kids . This game keeps my son occupied and good for brain development. Easy to carry.

Se lo compré a mi hijo de 7 años y quedo fascinado, lo mejor es que hasta los adultos pasan mucho tiempo en el. La calidad de los materiales es muy buena y resistente.

ピースを配置していくパズルの一種ですが、 見た目の楽しさと適度な難しさもあって、この手のパズルの中では秀作だと思います。 練習問題から段階を踏んで、難しくなっていく問題構成も良いです。 巻末に正解図もあるのでご心配なく。やってみると、結構ハマりますよ！ 見ればわかる内容だとは思いますが、説明書に日本語訳が無いので、少し補足を。 ・問題集から問題を選んで、その図に記載されているピースを対応する箇所に置く。 ・残りのピースをすべてケースに配置出来れば成功。 ピースは、どのように回転させても良いが、裏返すことはない。 ・ケース内のすべての箇所にピースを置く必要はなく、必ず線２本分だけピースを置かない箇所がある（結構重要なヒントです）。 ・問題図に数字が書かれている場合、その数字は、その個所を取り囲むピースの数字の和と一致する。 しかも、数字の周囲の線と、ピースの配置状況が一致する（線が書いていなければその部分にはピースは置かない）。 線が２本以上書かれている場合は、線の本数に応じたピース数でその個所を囲む必要がある。

It is perfect. 120 challenges. My favorite is 109.

Fun game
