Product Description: Love to build contraptions? Players will get to use unique, sometimes humorous mechanical components to construct fantastic machines that accomplish unusual tasks. Each puzzle contains a partially built machine and the extra pieces needed to complete it and accomplish the goal.
Great as always The boys (ages 9 and 5) love making these machines, AND it runs on my Mac! Definitely a good buy!
Good game My 6 year old son loves this game. He plays it for hours at a time. Definitely worth the money.
My Kids Love It! I first looked at Crazy Machines, but chose not to buy it because I wasn't SURE that my kids would enjoy it... and at that cost, it wasn't worth the gamble. Then I found this and figured it was worth it. I have a 6,5 and 3 year old. The older two love it. They enjoy watching each other play it as well and like to work together to figure things out. The thing that makes this game workable for my kids is that all of the instructions are given verbally as well as visually, and you can press a button to hear the instructions again. That means that even non-readers can follow instructions and play -- and what a great lesson in listening CAREFULLY to instructions!
I Love It After playing the demo of "Even More Contraptions", I found myself wanting still more contraptions to solve and to build. This software is everything I wanted and more.
Awesome, fun puzzle game for any age I bought this game for my 11 and 14 year old siblings after I read a favorable review at learningvillage.com. Little did I realize how fun this game would be. Figuring out the solutions to the contraptions is very fun even when they're very challenging. My 14 year old brother won't touch anyting educational (unless I force him too) but he really liked this game. I liked it very much myself and I sometimes find myself figuring out solutions late into the night when I should be working on my college paper.
While the game can get challenging there's a very helpful tutorial which shows you how each surface, part, ball, laser, ball etc. works. My sister finished the tutorial in no time and was quickly working out solutions to the "contraptions."
I highly recommend this game to parents who want to buy a fun educational/problem solving game for their kids or for themselves. Don't be surprised if you find yourself telling your kid to let YOU play the game. When you do find yourself playing with your children just make sure you don't help them too much. Actually, there will be times when you'll ask your kids for help.
