OK, want a game that is educational (don't tell the kiddos) and combines logic, strategy with even a little physics that the kids (and adults) love to play? Well, here you have it in Fantastic Contraption created by Colin Northway
It's a basic online Flash game that seems very simple. Basically, you make a device using wheels and sticks to get the widget located in the light blue area to the pink area. Sounds simple, yes? Well, it can be but it's definitely harder than it looks! There is more than one solution to every puzzle and this certainly takes your whole brain! Having trouble? You can back up to a different puzzle or you can also save your contraptions as well as view other peoples answers to solving the puzzles. Some are really cool, some really freaky accidents.
There are only 20 levels in the free game (still hours of entertainment and learning), but $10 gets you access to more, along with a extensive variety of player-created levels. There's also a level editor, so you can create your own.
