Royal Rescue

Royal Rescue allows chidren to develop their spatial and problem solving skills to unravel the series of problems and reunite the princess and the knight.

The princess and the knight are locked in separate towers, and the object of the game is for the child to create a pathway to bring them together. Sometimes the princess rescues the knight and sometimes the knight rescues the princess. Fair enough!

Royal Rescue is for one child, although two children could work together.

Entertaining and challenging for adults as well. Be prepared for your child to help you! There are 48 puzzle challenges which increase in difficulty. The puzzles start off very easy to build skill and confidence, and gradually each level builds to be very challenging in the end! Children are proud of their achievement as they finish each one. Just want you want in a learning toy.

The pieces are colorful and made of solid wood are tactile and durable. Play time is approx 20 to 30 minutes.

The princess, knight and castle theme is lovely for this age group.

"For Christmas we bought this toy for my 4-year-old son who loves to "figure things out". Many levels exist to help rescue the princess (or in some cases, the knight). Each level builds on the logic learned in previous levels. Truth be told, when he went to bed, I was playing with it. It really makes you think... and it even allows for more than one solution to many of the scenarios. We loved it."
