Good Brain Challenge
I love this game so much. I have played it over and over and over. It is a great numbers game for all the number lovers. It keeps the brain working. I challenge myself to see how fast I can complete a level with no mistakes. I wish there was a way to bypass the beginning levels that are really easy and boring. I will probably go back to it as soon as I finish my first time through World Mosaics 4 (which I will review separately).

A Wonderful, Logical, Numbers Game
I first came across this type of game in a Nancy Drew adventure game. I could be wrong, but I believe that this is a game that first originated in Japan.
The object of the game is to create a picture by uncovering a certain number of squares per column and row within a box. This particular game is a collection of these number puzzles with an adventure story behind it. You are an archeologist uncovering beautiful, historical mosaics around the world.
If you haven't played this type of game before, there is a short tutorial to show you how to solve the puzzles. The puzzles are simple to learn, but not always easy to solve. It takes a lot of strategy and logic to determine which squares are to be uncovered. The puzzles start off easy enough, with the grid being 10X10. As you progress throughout the game, the puzzle grids get larger and a bit more difficult. You are given a certain amount of mistakes that you are allowed to make before the puzzle blows up. However, the best thing is that you can restart the puzzle over as many times as you choose without any penalties.
One helpful tip: when working on larger puzzles, if you find that you are one mistake away from the puzzle blowing up and you have a significant amount of the squares uncovered, take a picture with your digital camera or cell phone so that if you do make the last mistake, you won't have to guess which squares to uncover again and it'll be easier to finish the puzzle.
These puzzles are timed, but you can always go back and redo a puzzle for a faster time. Even after finishing the adventure, you can unlock extra puzzles for more fun. I can see that this game has a lot of replay value. I highly recommend this game if you really enjoy logic and number puzzles.
