Brain Game - Puzzle Maniax

 
 

It's often said that a good activity for keeping the brain active is to do jigsaws...well how about jigsaw puzzles where you are under time constraints and get points for each piece that you place correctly?

That's what Puzzle Maniax offers and we warn that it can become quite addictive as you try to beat the clock!

Each time you play, you can choose your puzzle picture. If you want to turn a puzzle piece around to make it fit, you need to click on it each time you want it to turn 90 degrees, but the shapes on the puzzle screen will give you a hint as to where the piece might fit.

Once you think you know where a piece goes, drag and drop it where you want it to go, the game will lock it into place if it does fit and give you some points.

You can choose your level, you can also choose whether you want to have the picture showing as guidance and whether you want to see the puzzle grid or not to help you.

Don't expect to be able to get a puzzle successfully put together the first time you try this game, give it a couple of goes before you give up, because the time constraints are tough.

Alternatively don't worry if you don't finish the puzzle, just see if you can beat your last score, or at least maintain it.

Have fun and good luck!
