The Genius Square

The Genius Square is a fantastic little game that combines logic, strategy and speed in a way that keeps both children and adults equally engaged. It’s one of those rare puzzle games that’s easy to learn but genuinely challenging to master, making it ideal for family game nights or quiet solo play. Setup takes seconds - roll the dice, place the blockers as shown, and race to fill your grid using the geometric shapes. Despite the simplicity of the concept, the sheer number of possible puzzles (over 60,000 combinations) gives it massive replayability. Every round feels fresh, and the balance of skill and luck keeps it fun for players of different ages and abilities. The components are well made. The boards and pieces feel solid and durable, and everything packs neatly into the box for easy storage. It’s also compact enough to take on trips or holidays without taking up much space. It’s a great mix of entertainment and education too, promoting spatial reasoning, logic, and quick thinking without ever feeling like a learning exercise.

This is a really simple, easy to learn game for two players. The premise of the game is to fit all of your shapes into a grid, before your opponent does. The issue is that random counters are placed throughout the grid, obstructing the way the shapes fit. Compelling and highly addictive, this game is ideal for all ages. Would highly recommend!

This is a lovely game to play and so easy, as a grandma, the grandchildren love to play it with me, its great fun, especially when they beat me, it encourages problem solving, its good for all ages.

I don’t normally write reviews but this game is absolutely brilliant. It is fun to play and really is suitable for all ages. It can get very competitive too if playing with multiple people. Highly recommend!

This is a brilliant game which was given to us as a present. We are totally hooked on it and have introduced it to our daughter and son-in-law - also totally hooked. However, when we ordered another set for a Christmas present, the one that arrived was subtly different. In our original set, there is a handicap facility which is really clever as it makes it a suitable game to play with children, so they aren't always the loser. The website doesn't make this distinction entirely clear, and I feel it should. I would suggest it is important to buy the set with the handicap facility. You don't have to use it, but it's there if you need it.

Brilliant fun! I’m alone but can enjoy the challenge. It is a great tease to work out the solution, I love such puzzles. It arrived the next day being handed to me by a very pleasant driver. Well done.

A brilliant game to play with others. The rules are simple and it creates a lot of laughter. Also great for taking you off your phone, tablet and tv.

This is brilliant !! Loved by all ages and gets very competitive and addictive

I’m sure it will be ok, as it’s not for me, it’s a Christmas gift, so won’t have been opened yet, doh! I won’t see it for months due to The Lurgy restrictions on flight and travel etc, and as the 6-year-old recipient isn’t on email, he won’t be able to tell you either, heheheh!

questo gioco ci è piaciuto subito, ottimo per allontanare i ragazzi dal cellulare...

Fun game for multiple age groups. I love that it can be played by only one person and works the brain! Pieces are well made and stand up to heavy use. Fun to do on your own or challenge a family member. Sort of like a brain teaser so could be used daily as challenge is always different.

Received it a few minutes back! Tested it! Loved it! Can’t wait for my 6 year to play it after coming back from school. Only thing that annoyed me was the packaging! The game box was damaged. Luckily none of the pieces were missing. Attaching a pic. Not kidding! This is how I received it. Anyway loved the actual game!

We have played a ton, my kids are currently 5 & 11. To make it ‘even’ the younger play at junior level (pieces anywhere/any direction that fit around the pegs) and the older ones or adults have to play at higher levels eg. The white square blocks have the be face up and for those that seem really good at it not touching. Gives the little guys a chance to ‘win’ as well. Thus far we keep going to solve the puzzle even if the other person has finished first. It is interesting to see the differences in how it can be solved, often they are not the same. It is a challenge and all ages seem to like it. Can also be played individually as well like a puzzle which is great!!
