Pros: You feel so good when you get one right Cons: You get so mad when you miss one so simple
I consider myself a person who thinks logically, abstract reasoning has always been just that, abstract. My mind is my safe haven, my ace in the hole, a place I can retreat to and understand what is going on and why. This game has proved me...

MindTrap seemed to be a game we would enjoy, we love challenging games and heard this was one not to be...

Pros: May promote thought Cons: Thought is tiring
This was one of numerous games that were just hanging around the house, and one slow afternoon I and the love of my life and our dear friend decided to play it (this is the same group that played Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, for those who've seen that...

Pros: great thinking game Cons: some questions long and boring
I purchased this game for entertainment for a group of teenagers who congregated with my children on weekends in our home. A few of them did at least open the box and read a few questions, but the majority found it too slow of a game and...

Pros: Thought-provoking. Can be taken anywhere! Cons: Not for everyone.
I love mental challenges, and this game provides it! I have always been interested in the mindbenders (you know.....you stand at the crossroads on an island with 2 natives, one always lies and one always tells the truth, what 2 yes or no questions can...

Pros: Great puzzles and mysteries to solve Cons: Can only go through cards once before you know many of the answers
"The seller doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't need it, the user doesn't see it. What is it?"
If you love trying to figure out questions like this, then the game Mindtrap is for you. It's played with cards, kind of like Trivial...

Pros: Huge collection of brainteasers that will entertain you and guests. Cons: As a game, not very fun. Definitely not for children.
Being a fan of logic puzzles and riddles, I bought this game to play with my family. It didn't quite work out the way that I had pictured it, but it was still entertaining.
The rules of the game are so simple that there needn't be rules. If...

Pros: Easy to transport, "brain exercise" Cons: Some problems may be difficult for younger players.
Mindtrap is a rather interesting game. It consists of cards (about 500), each with a "minute mystery" or logic puzzle on it. You can play one-on-one or with teams. I won't give you exact details on how to play, but here's the gist: pick a card,...

Pros: Mindbending, Fun in groups Cons: Not as fun by yourself
This is one of my favorite 'card games'. Not like blackjack or poker, but like Trivial Pursuit or Outburst. The game is basically a box of cards with puzzles. Such as 'A man is dead from a gunshot wound in his car. The windows are rolled up, the car...

Pros: Hours of entertainment Cons: Must be prepared to think
When I first played this game, I was immediately reminded of the one-minute mysteries I'd played so much in grade school. There's an endless sea of questions from which to choose from, but the ones I like the most are the who-dun-its. You are only...

Pros: Great fun to read Cons: Not really a game
Great for long car trips with older children or a bored spouse. I often stick this box under the front seat of the car when we set off for long trips. When everyone has reached the point of being bored with the scenery and the books they brought...

Pros: Challenging and thought provoking. Cons: Not for kids, too hard.
Mindtrap is a fun game if you are good at lateral thinking. If you think only logically, then you are in trouble. Mindtrap is a game where you have to think of the best possible answer for a situation, but the answer is not usually the logical...

Pros: Challenging , interesting, and fun! Cons: May take a LONG time to finish.
"Mindtrap" is one of the few games I have found that takes my family, friends and I more than an hour to play. Being trivia and puzzle buffs, besides most of us being voracious readers as well, it is difficult to find a game that SOMEBODY...

Pros: Great Game for the mind Cons: Doesn't come with a fixed board
Mindtrap is a game for more teenagers or adults. This game requires a lot of thinking and a different way of looking at questions. This game is more of a logic game then any other type. It has a great deal of mathematics and logic. The game come with...
