We got the Frog Scramble Squares puzzle from b.dazzle just before Christmas as one of our free gifts for subscribing to The Old Schoolhouse. It was a hit with the whole family. My mother was here and worked with Tony, the boys (13, 9 & 4) and me on it.
We could not believe how hard it was! It looked SO easy. Ahhh, but looks are deceiving. There are 9 squares and I can't tell you how many times we got 8 of them lining up correctly only to have the last one not work.
I was actually at the computer checking to see if they had clues for solutions on their website (they don't) when my mother solved it! She is officially the Puzzle Queen now! It was kind of funny. They have a note on their website explaining that they sponsor the Character Counts program. I think they do a pretty good job of teaching perseverance with these puzzles.
Each puzzle is only $9.95 and worth every penny! They are colorful, come with fun facts and are very challenging. I'm so glad that I got one as a free gift. They have a wide variety of puzzles to choose from and they all look like fun, fun, fun!
