//CODE: Robot Repair Game Review by ThinkFun

Being that I was a mathematics major in college, I am drawn to logic and critical thinking. When I saw this coding game by ThinkFun, I just couldn't wait to try it out! It is actually the third in their series of coding games which are designed to make you think. After testing out this game, I would love to get my hands on the other two!

The game I have is: //CODE: Robot Repair be sure to check it out here: http://www.thinkfun.com/products/robot-repair/

One thing that I really enjoyed was the fact that the games are screen free for a completely unplugged experience, which is rare in today's technologically built world. It is a problem solving game that you can play on your own, or as a team.

After reading the instructions, I was a little bit confused, but what helped was jumping right in and solving the first puzzle. There are four "Robot Circuit Boards" which vary in range of hardness. Once you think you have the problem solved, you can check the solutions book to be sure. I had fun solving a few of these puzzles and it is a great way to get your mind flowing. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to sharpen their mind skills! Be sure to check out their website and purchase a game for yourself, they come in at just $14.99!
