SmartGames IQ Pentagon Review: The Logic Puzzle With a Five-Sided Board
The SmartGames IQ Deluxe: Pentagon is a single-player logic puzzle featuring a five-sided game board, 11 translucent double-sided puzzle pieces, and 120 challenges ranging from easy to expert. It's part of the SmartGames IQ Deluxe series, designed for ages 14 to adult, and beautifully packaged in a gift box with lid and a full-color hardbound challenge book with answer key. No cheating! Each challenge has exactly one solution.
First Impressions From the Table
The translucent pieces are gorgeous on camera and mildly evil in practice. Every piece is double-sided and both sides are playable, which roughly doubles the ways you can be wrong. Challenge 1 already made me sit up straighter.
This is exactly the kind of hands-on puzzle I build my streams around — real pieces, real table, thinking out loud, occasionally winning. The IQ Pentagon will be showing up on Brain Game Theater livestreams, where chat tells me where the pieces go. Sometimes chat is right. Sometimes chat is chaos. Both are entertaining.
