Genius Gems
Each player receives their own Genius Gems grid and a set of the ten, double-sided clusters of gems. Roll five of the dice inside the shaker and they will land in the five coloured wells. Now race your opponent to fill every space on the grid using the ten clusters, so that the patterns shown on the dice appear simultaneously on the grid, in the correct colours. All 10,794 puzzles have at least one possible solution. As soon as somebody finishes first, re-roll the dice and play again! Will you stick to using the basic dice, or up the ante and include the dastardly and/or devilish dice? There may be times when it seems impossible, but there will ALWAYS be at least one solution... and that’s what makes it a ‘Genius’ game! Box size approx. 19cm x 19cm
Garden Maze Genius
Your ball has ended up behind lots of houses. So, how will you get it back? Roll the four dice and you’ll discover the location of two of the houses, but think carefully about the direction they should face! Now start positioning the other houses until you create a route for the ball, then lift up the board using the grips at the side and roll it back! Garden Maze Genius is an all new ‘Genius’ game that will help children to develop their thinking skills, strategic planning and spatial awareness. There are 4,096 possible puzzles to attempt and each one successfully solved will lead to a boost in self-confidence and a growing belief that they too can be a Garden Maze Genius! Box size approx 27cm x 27cm
Got It!
You know that a strawberry is red, or that Paris is the capital of France. You probably also know the names of common musical instruments, famous Kings and Queens of England, famous sporting events or even breeds of dog. Of course you do... The question is, would you know all of these things if they appeared in code? When the question is so easy, Got It! turns into a game of speed, as you race your opponent(s) to decode the answers and enjoy that 'Got It!' moment as everything falls into place! Got It! features 960 questions and answer challenges covering a wide range of family-friendly subjects, using commonly used codes, including Braille, Semaphore, British Sign Language and Morse Code, plus others that you probably never even new existed!

With so many possible variations, you will soon be making intricate and pleasing patterns that can constantly change and be reimagined.

The Genius Square
Roll The Dice & Race Your Opponent To Complete The Square! The aim of each of the 62,208 possible puzzles is to complete the square using the nine 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 Square! Each player receives a Genius Square grid (two are included) and a set of nine coloured shapes, plus seven ‘blocker’ pieces. Roll all seven of the dice together and place a ‘blocker’ piece into the squares matching the seven co-ordinates that appear on the dice. Now race your opponent to fill every other space on the grid using the nine shapes. There are 62,208 possible combinations in which the dice can fall. Using a specially devised computer programme, we have confirmed that all of them have at least one possible solution. Some combinations will be easy to solve, some much harder. It’s all in the luck of the roll of the dice. As soon as somebody finishes first, roll the dice and play again! You can play alone and challenge yourself against the clock!
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. If you have previously played the now legendary Genius Square, you will find The Genius Star’s puzzles to be significantly more testing! 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!
Bee Genius
The Queen Bee is leading her worker bees in the construction of their new honeycomb and they need help! Roll the six dice to determine the locations of the worker bees.

There are 46,656 unique possible combinations in which the dice can fall and all of them have at least one possible solution. Some combinations will be easier to solve, some much harder. Bee Genius is a non-competitive game, devised to help children to develop their thinking skills. Every puzzle solved will help a child to build their skills and grow their self-confidence, as they start to realise that they too can BEE GENIUS!

It's educational, great fun and a perfect gift idea for ages 5 to 15!
