The Maze - This is a good maze game which my 8 year old
has used. The object is to locate 5 treasures hidden
somewhere within 64 interconnecting "rooms". The
graphics are simple, line sketches, and movement
between rooms is via doors or corridors. The on screen
view is from the perspective of someone standing within
the puzzle space. The challenge centres around the
doors, for some are unstable and whisk you off to rooms
at random whilst others are one-way or invisible.
Further complication is added by some rooms being in
darkness. The only way to reliably solve this puzzle is
to systematically map the space and the characteristics
of the doors and then nut out a path to all 5 treasures.
This is not as simple as it seems and if your son is
like mine will need some help, but its a good
co-operative project and teaches a lot about
perspective and planning.I like these games, there are
no sexy graphics to divert you from the focus of the
game and they challenge the logic skills of the young
without running them into frustrating brick walls.
Age 4 to 8, Age 8 and Up
