With this game, Flags, you have to identify the country represented by the displayed flag from a list of five countries.
Electric Box – logic game
The little grey cells certainly have to work to figure out the logic needed to solve the problems that this rather interesting little game, Electric Box, throws up at you. It demonstrates to children the need with some problems to resolve one solution before working on the next element of the string of problems to develop the entire solution. Fun graphics make the appearance of the game engaging and appealing.
When all the levels have been completed, there is a further dimension to the game, you can turn your talents to creating levels yourself for others to solve. This engages a different thought process, which is good.
There are a couple of other ‘level packs’ of user-generated levels to try your hand at as well.
