Puzzle Website Reviews
If you are like me, you probably become really excited when you find a fun puzzle game online. For me, I have always had a soft spot for jigsaw puzzles, having solved them since I was a young child and enjoying when my mother brought a new puzzle home for me to solve. When I first found Jig Zone.com, I had that excitement all over again of discovering a fun and entertaining puzzle.
With thousands of different puzzles available on the site that range from travel to animals,...

Last but not least is one of the newest and most interesting puzzle games on Gaia online, Electronic Love Faktori. When you first see the artwork for the game, it can make you a bit reluctant to play this puzzle game but it’s not actually about love in any way. What this interesting puzzle game is about though is making electrical circuits. The objective is connecting as many circuits as you can, moving around the red and yellow colored circuits vertically or horizontally in each row. ...

One of the other interesting puzzle games on the social community Gaia online is Word Bump. Like many of the other games on Gaia online, this game is rather simplistic and java based, making it simple for individuals to play who may not be very computer savvy or have the latest and greatest computers. As a teacher, I have had multiple children playing this game, helping them build on their vocabulary skills (or the lack there...

To begin the series on the three puzzle games provided on Gaia online, we are first going to start with Jigsaw. From the name, you can probably guess that this game revolves around putting together a jigsaw puzzle. As I had described before, probably the most unique aspect that makes jigsaw different from most other games of its kind online is the fact that you can play this game with other people, including your own children or other family members. In fact, you can play yourself or with...

To conclude our preview of Neopets as a children’s puzzle site I am going to go over one of my favorite puzzle games on Neopets, Spell or Starve. Unlike most of the other games on Neopets, this game takes much more cognitive skill, being appropriate for children who are eight or older. The reason for this is due to the fact that the game revolves around finding words in the mixed up puzzle board, challenging children’s understanding of...

For most children, it is usually best introducing them to the world of puzzles with simplistic puzzle games that seem simplistic in their concept but can become more complex as levels progress. One of the best types of games for this introduction is games based around either Tetris or Bejeweled. If you have played these games in the past, you will definitely feel comfortable playing Destruct-o-Match III with your children. In this Neopets game, you are given a level full of colored blocks...

It is not too surprising that Neopets have created their own version of Sudoku called Roodoku. In this simple little game, children are learning to play Sudoku with this fun, playful board that comes in a practice, easy, normal, and hard mode to help children learn how to play the game. All of the rules for normal Sudoku apply to these games, so don’t worry about having to teach your children any odd rules when playing Roodoku. One aspect that is really nice for children is the fact that...

If you are looking for a good starter puzzle game for your children on Neopets, you may want to seriously consider Fairy Bubbles. In this game, you are a fairy that is trying to shoot down individual bubbles that are in the sky, each representing a different element. To pop the bubbles, you need to match similar bubbles to make them pop. Even though this game seems rather simplistic, it is much more difficult than its counterparts(for older games, it’s similar to Bust-A-Move) since...

To begin our review of children’s sites, I am first going to introduce puzzle enthusiasts to the children’s website, Neopets. On this interactive social community, individuals are able to create and take care of their own individual pet, choosing over thirty species. Once you have your pet, you can start playing games, buy food, and different items for your pet to prepare it to interact with others in Neopia. As a group of puzzle players, however, we are interested in the fact that Neopets...
