Brookstone Review for NY Times® Touchscreen Handheld Sudoku Electronic Game sku # 535690

This handheld Sudoku game lets you solve these challenging number puzzles anywhere. And with the simple touchscreen and stylus, it's easy to use. The goal is easy: fill the 9x9 grid with numbers one through nine, ensuring each number is used only once in each mini 3x3 grid, row and column. Puzzle progress, however, can be very challenging. With this portable electronic Sudoku game, now you can challenge yourself wherever you go. 750 puzzles are grouped by difficulty and the "hint" and "undo" functions let you experiment with different moves. There's also a timer to test your speed. Game is licensed by the New York Times®—best known for their world-class crosswords and other mind puzzles.

It's big and can't be packed in a bag as easily as a pad of paper and pen. More expensive than a booklet of sudoku puzzles. Interesting gift to lay around the house, but maybe not as a value for personal use

Screen Glares Back At You
By stealthcatVerified Reviewer from Falls Church, VA on 12/19/2007
Pros:
Entertaining, Fun, Thought Provoking
Cons:
Too much glare on screen
Best Uses:
Adults
Describe Yourself:
Husband loves puzzles
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this for my husband who solves puzzles way too easily. It has become a challenge with family & friends to find something he can't figure out quickly. I thought this would keep him busy for awhile & it works except for the glare on the screen. It has to be tilted at an angle to be used. Otherwise, it's a great idea for travel & just sitting around the house.
