The Genius Star!
Play solo, or race an opponent to fill the star!
The aim of each of the 165,888 possible puzzles is to complete the star using the eleven coloured shapes, once the seven ‘blockers’ have been positioned. There may be times when it seems impossible, but there will ALWAYS be at least one solution... and that’s why it’s called The Genius Star!
Roll the seven dice and place a ‘blocker’ piece into the triangle matching the seven numbers that appear on the faces. Now race your opponent to fill every other space on the grid using the 11 shapes.
There is also a wonderful new twist to each challenge, in the shape of a ‘Golden Star’. Will you play safe and complete a regular win, or will you go for a double win, by completing the challenge with the ‘Golden Star’ in one piece? Only 57.4% of the puzzles actually have a solution with the ‘Golden Star’ whole, so it’s a tough decision to make. You’ll need speed of thought... and nerves of steel! There’s also a web page where you can input your coordinates and find out whether the ‘Golden Star’ can be completed in one piece!

The whole family love these addictive puzzles!
We bought two genius puzzles for Christmas for grandchildren aged 9 and 11. We are informed that they are getting a lot of use and not just by the children.

Super puzzle
Bought this for a child but the whole family thoroughly enjoyed playing with it

Fun for all the family
Brought as a Christmas present for our two children (8and 10)- they love it! As for all of the family. Over Christmas they challenged aunts and uncles, grandmas and grandads and it provided many hours of entertainment!

Excellent
Bought as a gift for a bright 10 year old boy …. The box says 8 years + ….. so I hoped it wouldn’t be too easy for him. In fact it was perfect …..requires hand eye coordination , spatial awareness , concentration , ……. good level of difficulty…….the adults loved it too. Can be played in a pair , or can be a self challenge.

Very clever game
Bought three sets so all family could play together. Appeals to a wide range of ages.
