What it’s like:
- It’s a logic-based deduction game.
- Players are given a challenge card with clues about how a face should look (e.g., “The character has a red nose,” “The eyes are above the moustache,” etc.).
- Using the clues, children must figure out the correct combination of facial parts (eyes, nose, mouth, accessories) and place them in the right spots on a magnetic board or card.
Comparable To:
- Logic puzzles (like Sudoku or Mastermind) but simplified and made visual.
- Games like Guess Who?, but instead of eliminating faces, you’re constructing one based on logical clues.
Best for:
- Ages 5–8 (depending on the challenge level).
- Great for developing deductive reasoning, spatial awareness, and attention to detail.
The goal is to create funny and unique faces using the different puzzle pieces. There are many possible combinations of eyes, noses, mouths, and other facial features that can be mixed and matched.
How to Play:
- Choose a Card: The game may include cards that show a specific face to create, or you can play freely and make any face you like.
- Pick Pieces: Based on the card or your imagination, select the facial pieces (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) from the set.
- Assemble the Face: Place the pieces on the board in any configuration you prefer, creating a face. You can make it funny, weird, or realistic—it's up to you!
- Create Multiple Faces: You can mix and match pieces to make different faces, experimenting with various combinations. This helps improve creativity and understanding of facial features.
- Optional Challenge: If playing with others, you can try to copy a face exactly as shown on a card, or even compete to make the most creative or funniest face.
How to Level It Up
Level 1 – Use Simple Clues
Clues tell you exactly what to choose:
“The eyes are blue.”
“The hat is yellow.”
Level 2 – Add Logic & Elimination
Some clues tell you what’s not there:
“The eyes are not green.”
“The character is wearing glasses, but no hat.”
Now children have to narrow down the options.
Level 3 – Combine & Sequence
Use positioning and comparison:
“The mouth is two spaces below the eyes.”
“The glasses are on top of the red nose.”
Now they’re thinking spatially and relationally!
