Customer Reviews

A great way to kill time and sharpen your mind

This is fun! I highly recommend it to sudoku lovers and to anyone who enjoys logic puzzles. Volume 2 level is easy. Basic math challenges (multiply, divide) solved with sudoku-like logic on a sudoku-like grid with "cages." No repeat numbers in rows or columns, you know the drill. I'm sudoku-ed out at this point, but the KenKen puzzle is different enough that I can already feel the addictive possibilities of it. Also, my perception and mental clarity feel sharper after solving one or two of these. I like that part lots. Thanks and hugs to Will Shortz for bringing KenKen to the U.S.!

Great for Kids Math Skills

I found KenKen online, but then I saw the books at Target. I grabbed this one and ran right through it. I gave it to my 8 year old to do and she's hvaing great fun and learning how to mentally add/sub/div/multi better. I will be sharing the book with her school class when she's done at home. If you have a grade 2-5 kid, grab these books :)
