With all the talk these days about exercising the brain in order to prevent or at least deter onset of dementia, the Grabarchuk Family is doing its part to provide vastly entertaining and fun puzzles to expand or at least stretch those synapses. This latest in their series that thankfully continues to grow in popularity and production - 103 PUZZLE QUIZZES - is one of the more entertaining. It seems the Family has discovered the secret that if the first few puzzles are fairly easy to master, then those rapid rewards will propel the user to advance into the truly challenging mind twisters.The pleasure of working these puzzle quizzes is the creative way in which the puzzles AND the information offered when choices are made (pop-up dictionary definitions that help the astute observer) are presented. The puzzles test visual perception, space planning, recognition of numbers and sizes of spaces, determining equal/unequal length, and many other twists and turns that keep the viewer and player on his toes. Don't be surprised if your young friends can master these skills quickly (they seem to have an affinity for these visual conundrums probably due in part to their use of video games). But don't let that deter the older set of players. These challenge mental capacity while providing endless hours of entertainment. And the fact that hey can be downloaded onto the computer or other forms of the ether network system means they are portable.These puzzles - and especially this latest version - are the most inexpensive investment in both mental health and entertainment for the road or the armchair. And they just get better with each new release, Grady Harp, March 13
