Flash Puzzle Games

One of the most famous sites with free online flash games is miniclip.com. This site contains hundreds of cool games, and among them there are many flash puzzle games too. And about some of them we’ll discuss more today. Let’s begin with the one called Stackopolis. The main purpose of this game is to recreate the blueprint pattern on the main game board to complete each level. The controls are very simple, and all you have to do is use the mouse to click on different places. And this is the same for most of the puzzle games…they have very simple controls, but the action itself gets more and more difficult as you advance through the game…and you will have to really concentrate and use your brain in order to complete each level. All you need to do is click on a concrete block, and then you will select it.

Move the mouse across the screen in order to place it in a specific place. There will be a red transparent block appearing where you move the mouse, so that you can easily figure out where you will place that block. In the right side of the screen you will see a small figure showing the real construction that you have to make, while in the left side of the screen you will see a square with numbers on it. Each number represents the number of blocks that need to sit in a specific place on the screen. For example if somewhere you see the number 3, it means that in that place you need to have 3 concrete blocks on top of one another. Also on the left side of the screen you will see your score and the time you have left. Even if some of the levels may look really simple, you still have to hurry up because the time will run away fast. The faster you complete a level, the bigger your score will be. The game is quite addictive, and the more you play it, the more you will want to advance through the levels. So have fun!

Let’s discuss about one more game from this category from miniclip, and we’ll choose the one called R.I.F.T. In this game you have to collect the cake and bring it to the master. This game has more complex keys, and you need to use the space bar (or the UP arrow key or the W key) to jump, the left (or A key) to move left, the right (or D key) to move right, the S (or the N key) to grab a box and the X (or M) to grab a box without turning. You will play with a nice little robot, and your master is a pink, jelly creature, that likes to eat cakes. Also collect batteries, in order to give you more energy and more points. You will also receive all the instructions you need when beginning the game. The game will get more and more complicated as you advance, and you will have to use your imagination and intelligence in order to complete it. Have fun!
So these were just 2 examples of cool flash games, but of course there are hundreds of more others. If you know some other that are really cool and worth playing, we invite you to tell us all about them. Have a nice day!
Free online video games

They are so much fun to play and some of them are really addictive. And besides this they have all sorts of topics and characters, so that anyone can be satisfied no matter what things he likes. You can find them on many sites and some examples are: funny-games.biz, miniclip.com or freeonlinegames.com. but of course there are many more others, so there are practically thousands of games and there are new ones added each day, so you will never get bored with them.
For today we’ll choose some random games and discuss more about them. Let’s begin with the one called “Demolition drifters”. This is a fun game that combines 2 types of racing games : the drifting ones and the crashing games. So not only that you have to race, make drifts and win the game but you also have to crash into your opponents to make more points. With the points you make you will be able to unlock new cars, tracks and also upgrades for your vehicle. You can destroy the other cars part by part, depending on the power of the impact and the number of impacts. The more times you hit a car, the more you will destroy it. This game has 18 cars and 9 tracks so you won’t get bored that easily. And each car has its own characteristics (such as weight, speed, bumper strength and so on). You have to use just the arrow keys to control your car. You will see your car from above, and an interesting thing is that when you go slow you see your car from a closer perspective, but once you gain speed the camera will go higher and you will see your car much better. The car can be quite difficult to control especially in corners, so this is not the best racing game ever, but it can be quite fun to play. Good luck!

Since we began talking about a racing game, let’s continue with one from the same category, for example the “High speed chase 2”. This is also a nice racing game that has a little more complex graphic. Your objective will be to take down the targets that are shown to you in the mission overview. In the mission overview you can also see your progress, total credits and awards that you have won for each mission. The cars shown with a red cross sign over them are the targets. Some cars will travel with protection so watch out! To unlock the next mission you will need to make at least a bronze medal. With the credits earned during missions you can buy power ups that will appear on the road. These are very important in completing the mission and unlocking medals, and they are: health, boost, glide and jump. Use the arrow keys to drive the car and the space bar to activate a power up. Good luck!

But enough with the racing games, now let’s choose a different one. Let’s choose a game that requires some intelligence and concentration and these are usually the puzzle games. and some of the most famous games from this category are the “point and click games “ in which all you have to do is click on the screen to find objects and trigger all sorts of actions. One of the games of this type is the “Horror plant”. Here your objective will be to guide a carnivore plant through the homes of dwarfs and kill all of them. So just use the mouse to click on the screen. Compared to other “point and click games” this one is quite simple because the cursor will change its shape when you are pointing on a place where you have to click. So it will be easier for you. In the first slide you will click on different places, and the wizard will make some kind of a potion. But from this one a carnivore plant will grow. Once it appears, just click on it and the plant will chop off the head of the wizard. In the next image, after making a few simple clicks and triggering some actions you will light a torch. And after that you will click on the branch where the dwarf is working, and he will fall and die. And now you can make one more click and go and eat him, beginning with the head.
Even though the actions you make seem really elaborated and complicated they are not so difficult to achieve because you can simply move the mouse around the screen and search for the places where the cursor changes. So you will know that in that places you have to click. After that it is just a matter of time to figure out which is the correct order to trigger the actions. In the next image, after making the correct actions you will eat a women dwarf, but you will eat just the body and share the head with a spider. The game is quite bloody and crude so it is not quite recommended for the kids. In the next sequence you will also eat a dwarf and leave a pond of blood behind. All the animals are on your side, and after you release some worms, a crow will help you by killing one of the dwarfs and sticking its beak into his eyes. It is quite a horror game because after that you will squeeze a dwarf and then drink its guts. In the next image, after putting some ingredients into the big pot, you will drink it and become really huge.
And then of course, you will kill that lady who is making the “soup”. But there is also another possible ending for this game, the one that is not happy for you (the plant). After making the “grow large” potion, if you press on the cup of wood from the right side of the screen the woman will go and take the cup to drink some potion…and then she will become really huge, and she will step on the plant and crush it. So after all this is quite a fun and challenging game and we home you enjoyed it.
And if you know some other cool free online video games, just tell us all about them. Have a nice day!

They are found on the internet for free, and there are so many of them on hundreds of sites. They are also really diversified, with all kinds of topics and characters. Some of them are quite funny and silly, while others are more serious and require a little bit of intelligence and concentration. The most famous games from this last category are the puzzle games. Even though they have a very simple gameplay (all you have to do is use the mouse and click on different places), they are quite difficult especially as you advance more in the game.

As we said there are many sites offering flash games and today we’ll discuss about a site that has just puzzle games. And this one is freepuzzlegames.biz. There are a lot of fun games to play here, and they are sorted on categories. These are: Puzzle games, Jigsaw Games, Sudoku Games, and Popular Games. Now let’s play and discuss more about some of them, and we’ll choose them in a random order. We’ll begin with the game called “Click Maze 2”. The objective of this game is to guide the red pill through the maze while avoiding the black walls and other obstacles. And finally you will have to reach the larger red pill with as few clicks as possible. First click on the “start” button to begin the level. The use the mouse to click on the screen and guide the pill. You will get to the next level when you reach the big red pill. The small circle with a white contour is your mouse icon, the little red pill is the one you have to guide, and the big red pill is the end of the level. You will get three kinds of scores, and they will be totaled at the end of each level. The level completion score will give you 100 points for each level that you complete. The level par bonus score will give you points according to the number of clicks you have made. For example if the level par is 8 and you completed the level in exactly 8 clicks you get 100 points. If you completed the level under par (in less moves than 8) you will get 10 extra points for each move.
But if you complete the level over par (in more moves than the par), then you will lose 10 points for each extra move. And finally the level lives remaining score will multiply the other scores depending on how many lives you still have left. Once you begin to play remember that you can you’re your small red pill only in a straight line. Otherwise it will bump into walls or obstacles. The pill will travel really fast, and when you hit an obstacle you won’t see this, but you will see a message telling you this. The game is quite fun, and the levels will get more and more complicated. So enjoy the game, and try to complete all 10 levels in as few moves as possible. And of course if you made a big score you can submit it to the score board.

So here was just one fun game from this site, but of course there are hundreds of others that are just waiting for you to try them. So have fun, and when you find some other games that are cool to play, tell us all about them!
Kids Spiderman Puzzle Games
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Apr 21 2010, in the categories: Puzzle
Every parent wants to keep his child busy and entertained, and cartoons or games can do this successfully. When a combination of this two modalities is possible, than the child would certainly consider this is an important thing that deserves attention.
Cartoon heroes are for every child important, they live like one, buy any sort of objects with the beloved hero. I am simply attacked by this whole world of Hannah Montana and Spiderman. Their images are everywhere, on pencils, notebooks, bags, hats, cereals, chewing gums, blouses, trousers, shirts, socks…everywhere! And what’s more funny is that parents keep on buying for their children, because they seem not to get enough! Whenever something new appears, there’s some kind of war in managing to get those products first!

Let’s guess….how important would be for a child to actually have a puzzle with his preferred hero? He will certainly be more than interested in solving it. He will be so curious to see the final image that he would barely want to eat. But unfortunately this will happen the first time he solves the puzzle, the second time too…but that’s it. He will not be interested in solving it too many times, because he will get bored. If the child is smaller and the parent solves it for him, to wake some interest from the child, the child could not want to break it, and so the puzzle will stay solved under the protective look of the child.
Spiderman puzzle games are preferred, of course, by little boys, that actually act like Spiderman! Still, puzzle games keep the child’s mind busy and trained.

There are computer puzzle games, that the children prefer. They like feeling they have control over things…and solving a puzzle will make them feel this way. Spiderman puzzle games (live or on the computer) are more fun than those that offer any other image, even though a beautiful house might be interesting for us, for children this would be nothing that deserves attention.
For very small children there are puzzles made from wood, to be more resistive, and the image is very simple. There are made more for something like an exercise for the child, to make him think how to combine the pieces and develop certain abilities of matching different objects.
We all like to surround ourselves with our favorite music, color, star or hero. So, why would the child be different?When I was little there was no Spiderman, there was Action man. And no Hannah Montana, but Sailor Moon. And I never had any kind of puzzles, no chance to have a personalized puzzle. But it’s good for children nowadays that they are given the possibility to choose to know what they like!
Puzzle Games You Solve

ME? I don’t like solving puzzle games….I have not enough patience to do something like that and I don’t feel that it offers me any kind of satisfaction. But I admire people that like to solve puzzles, like my brother. He has over 20 puzzle games, each of them with 500-2500 pieces. Sometimes he just stays locked in his room to finish the puzzle, especially when it’s a new achieved one. He remade each for about three times, and he is convinced that a new puzzle game would make him happy ….
He likes especially puzzles with great images, and I mean great places on earth, special cities, unique castles or strange buildings. The pieces are so little that you have to try several times to just find the perfect match and this is for me really hard. But I also think this makes the passionate people eager to see the beautiful result. My brother just says that puzzles are something challenging, that every new piece he matches makes him want to keep on going. In the end, the results are amazing, and I am sure he is proud of himself. It’s a great hobby, and it’s interactive.

I’ve heard of people who gather together to solve a puzzle, and they find this entertaining and fun, and there’s a competition going on, who makes the most matches per minute. It’s a brain exercise that makes you react fast and pay attention.
The computer puzzles are not the same as the real ones, because they cannot offer you that part of originality. But there are still users that prefer this kind of games, maybe because it’s cheaper (You don’t have to buy the puzzle, which are mostly, not really cheap). Usually for a normal puzzle you need some space, if it’s a big one, and that table will be out of any other use until you finish the puzzle.
Children are also very pleased with this kind of occupation, it makes them achieve patience and concentrate. In the end, if he manages to solve it, parents might observe that this can be one of his hobbies or, if not, he is certainly a patience person that likes challenging activities…There are this puzzles for children with cartoons characters, Disney World and Princesses, and this will definitely make the child eager to see the result.

I read even about personalized puzzles, with your own picture, name or anything else you might want. I find this great, it’s a perfect and unique gift. I’m sure that a passionate person about puzzles will appreciate this, “constructing” his own image.
Although I’m not that pleased with the idea of making a puzzle on my own, I always appreciate the results and encourage people too keep on doing this beautiful work!
