Kids Computer Games Recommendations

The puzzle genre is one of my favorites as far as computer games for kids.  Mosaic – Tomb of Mystery is no exception although it certainly isn’t JUST for children. The graphics and music are beautiful and you are working your brain, your hand-eye coordination and ability to think fast and plan ahead.  Seems like a simple premise….get all the pieces to fit into the image.  But as the pieces continue to fall and you are still debating where and how the last piece will fit – you realize this is more challenging than it may have first appeared.

I love the Play First site because it allows you to do just that. You can play Mosaic – Tomb of Mystery free online and try it as you go through the many levels they include for free.  If you decide you like it you can download it. This is a game I could see the whole household getting use out of.

How to play Mosaic – Tomb of Mystery

Shapes are falling in the left column.  Click on them and drag them to where you want them. You can rotate them so they fit where you want them to.  Notice the pieces pile up fast… there is a crusher for unwanted pieces in the middle. If you find you are taking a little long to place pieces… make sure you utilize this feature and put bigger pieces on the crusher that you are not using. If the column fills up with pieces it is GAME OVER.  It is important to watch how many pieces you have and how tall that pile is getting.

Finish the level and move onto solving the next challenging puzzle.

Because of the speed of this game I find it appropriate for ages 8 and up.  But there is certainly nothing inappropriate for younger kids and if you have a child proficient with mouse usage that is younger they may certainly really enjoy Mosaic – Tomb of Mystery as well. Just make sure you warn them it might take a few times to get the hang of the game before they get past the first board.  I got to level 4 on my second try and my 9 year old got a bit frustrated but really enjoyed it after playing a while.  This game works the mind and is a wonderful edition to the puzzle genre.
