Nintendo DS Puzzler World {Review and Giveaway}

My kids never stop telling me that my brain needs help. God love ‘em, but they keep it real.

They worry about things like Alzheimer’s and they want me to make sure my brain keeps thinking…normally.

One of the ways I keep my brain active is by playing puzzles.

I’ve always had a love for it. I used to sit for hours working puzzles in books and magazines. Now I can just play puzzle games on my Nintendo DS!

I just reviewed a new game for the DS and DSi called Puzzler World. There are more than 1,000 games to play. Choose from Quick Play and jump right into a puzzle, or play Challenge Mode where you can unlock bonus games and surprises.

There are 8 games which include Crosswords, Sudoku, Link-a-Pix, and my favorite, which is Wordsearch! It’s really fun to play on here – just slide the stylus across the letters!

Puzzles start out easy and then get progressively harder. When you finish the puzzles, you can earn hint clues and play the bonus games (like Hangman!)

Buy It! You can currently purchase Puzzler World at Amazon for $19.77!

Win It! One lucky reader will win a copy of Puzzler World!
