Do you like to play brainy games or enjoy puzzles of any sort?

Sharpening those wits... I'm thinking sudoku, crosswords, riddles... do you like any brainy games like these?

I ❤ games and puzzles.

I'm not much for mobile games, but grid based puzzle games with an accompanying narrative are always fun, I'm also a big fan of JRPGs.

@silvereyes well I haven't had a PlayStation since the ps2, so my choice of jrpg was limited by the 360. The first for me was Tales of Vesparia, since then I've been able to afford my own consoles, and expand my collection a little. The tales series are really well made, and although I have Symphona i haven't gotten to it yet.

@silvereyes My ps2 days mainly consisted of platforms, and linear adventure games like Spyro and Mega-Man. I have a friend who was a big fan of the Threads of Fate game, during his PS2 days. I only recenly obtained a PSVista, and picked up my first Persona title, Persona4.

I like video games that have complex builds, intricate lore, and play to a mostly homemade strategy aside from quest parameters.

@silvereyes Fallout 4 was a really good game, so much content.

@silvereyes Skyrim is great too, but if you like Skyrim, you will love Fallout 4.

Scrabble?

Yup! Love it! I have my eye on the deluxe version again - with the lazy Susan. I'm not in a hurry though. Unfortunately, I know few people who are interested in Scrabble.

Rummikub! Pitch! Jigsaw puzzles on line....so fabulous, no missing pieces or big table in the way! And free!

LOVE Rumikub!! I very recently bought the "Large" edition. The tiles are the same size, but the numbers are very large. And, the best part is that the tile material is like the older games, very weighty! Best Rumikub set I've seen or owned!

Also, I have a jigsaw puzzle on my table right now. I work on it a bit after work and on the weekends. This brand is Cobblestone and I'm not sure I'd buy it again. The pieces are so similar that it is way too easy to put them in the wrong place. I love a challenging jigsaw puzzle, but this is becoming not so fun. I cover it with the thinnest slab of wood I could find at the home store -- keeps the cats from batting it on the floor when I am not home.

@Bluewave Try the Jigsaws online...you can choose the # of pieces, background colors, even shapes i Like Jigsaw Daily and Jigsaw Puzzle Epic.....both Free, new puzzles daily, innumerable ones available on each site. Different formats. NO old ones laying around!

Sometimes, but these days just figuring out how to cope with reality is enough of a challenge to keep my mind busy.

Not really. Just video games. My brain forgot how to function to succeed in that category of games. 🙂

Yup! Crosswords, sudoku (in the past), Scrabble, Jeopardy! and Balderdash (the board game). Even Bananagrams! Besides sukoku, I'm seeing a word/spelling pattern here.

I love playing along while watching jeopardy.

I used to love Jeopardy, until my circumstances changed about 6 months ago.

Cards Against Humanity is my favorite game.

I like to take super-challenging cognitive assessment tests like the one President Trump aced the other day. One day I, too, will correctly identify an illustration of a lion.

I'm a huge fan of word searches or things where you have to find items in a large picture.

I like trivia games.

I enjoy sudoku and crossword puzzles at times 🙂

Riddles, trivia I am fine with, being severely dyslexic is a problem with crosswords but I am compensated in "find a word". Love mental exercises such an mensa tests and similar.

I love Sudoku.

2

One of my best friends travels a lot with his job, and is always bringing home cool games to play with his friends and family. It's through him that the kids and I were first exposed to Dixit, Gloom, Exploding Cows, and several others (whose names are french so we had to play with his wife acting as an interpreter). Usually, I like to jump right in so we can learn to play; I digest the rules better that way.

I do the newspaper crossword every day.

Crosswords, Words with friends

NSA Crypto Challenge is my crack du jour.

Simon Shuker's code cracker is my favorite but I can only rarely find them. 😟

Writing rhymed and metered poems is like a puzzle...kinda like a crossword--more freedom but also more work.
