Game Daze Park Place Mall Employee Recommendation, March 2011

Lokulus is a brain teaser game. The player is provided with plastic pieces in a variety of geometric shapes, a square frame in which to put the pieces, and different abstract pictures to make with the pieces. The challenge is to make all the pictures.

This makes for an excellent puzzle. As long as the player has the patience, he or she can figure it out. It provides mental stimulation and can keep a person entertained for hours. The only downside is that once the puzzles are completed enough, a person can begin to realize that certain pieces will almost always be placed next to each other, which does take away some of the difficulty. However, Lokulus also provides pictures of objects that can be made outside the frame using the same pieces, and can be attempted once a player has mastered making pictures using the frame.

All in all Lokulus is an excellent brain teaser that many can enjoy.
