This is a unique puzzle solving game that is limited only by the players imagination. If you’re looking for a gift that challenges, and fosters, creativity, then this would be perfect. It is probably the most original game on DS. Here’s how it works:

Let’s say there’s a ball in the middle of a lake that you need to get. You ‘scribble’ boat on the screen and one magically appears and you can retrieve the ball. You are scored on how original and creative your solutions are to the problems that appear.

The game has an extraordinary dictionary of words and is just as much fun to play once you’ve completed all the levels, as it is the very first time.

The game is truly unique and an enjoyable gift idea that puzzle lovers will adore.
