Smart Dog Agility Course

Here is one of the games we got a Geppettos.  It's not really a game, it's a set of puzzles for one player to work out, but like Cat Crimes (the very first game I discussed on this blog) we enjoy doing puzzles together.  It is clearly marked as "Puzzle Game for One Player," so that was fair.

The puzzle is simple: you have to use every piece in the game to complete a valid path to get the dog to the human.  In the beginner puzzles, there are only two pieces for you to fill in, and you can get the hang of it quickly.  Each piece can only turn the path a certain direction, and there is one bridge piece where you can run a piece or path beneath it.  The medium difficulty puzzles leave 3 or 5 pieces open for the player to figure out.  The advanced puzzles show nothing but where the dog and human pieces go, and you have to figure out the entire set of pieces -- those are seriously difficult, and I'm not sure we completed one of those.

I also had to wonder if the solutions were actually unique, but that was more of a logical nagging in the back of my head than any actual flaw in the game.

These are reasonably fun to piece together, and we found ourselves actually hopping the dog piece down the path at the end, then checking the Solutions.  Woof.





Cute.
