Best for: Brain teasers, Attention & concentration, Thinking & problem solving
What it is: A set of 66 puzzles containing various imaginary machines (combines all puzzles from the Pettson's Inventions 1 and 2 apps + 6 new puzzles).
What you do with it: combine sets of pulleys, gears, belts, weights (plus some air-puffing and fire-breathing creatures) into working 'inventions' (imaginary machines for washing laundry, turning on lights etc.). Other puzzles require connecting wires, building a road, building a clock etc. There are two difficulty modes (in the difficult mode the puzzles will contain extra 'fake' pieces).
Compete against another player (or against the clock) in the 'challenge' mode.
What we liked: the concept. Number and variety of puzzles. Humor/fun factor. Funny illustrations. Sounds and sound effects. The new '2 players challenge' mode.
What we didn't like: could have more educational value (e.g. could include explanations how the 'machinery' works). We missed some sort of audio or visual clues (to help complete the more difficult 'inventions) - therefore we recommend parental assistance.
