Timberdoodle's Review

Asteroid Escape

A Sci-Fi equivalent of a car chase is that of a flight between asteroids, which is the premise that Asteroid Escape was designed. While there are only 8 sliding puzzle pieces in Asteroid Escape, the spaceship's progress is seriously limited because of its size and the size of some of the asteroids. One of the more complicated challenges requires more than 100 moves, so Asteroid Escape is not for the faint of heart.


The object of Asteroid Escape is to slide the puzzle pieces around until you can slide the spaceship off the game board. If you get stumped, the shortest solution is shown at the end of the challenge booklet.

    Love the challenges!

    All of my kids have enjoyed playing this game! They range in age from 2-13. The challenges are fun and have different levels of difficulty. This game is great for “brain breaks” throughout the school day.

    An excellent gift and learning tool

    I actually got this as a birthday gift for my 9 year old stepson who is not homeschooled, but takes an interest in space, puzzles and problem solving. He's a clever boy who gets bored easily because he can solve most puzzles etc. very quickly. Well he came to me wide eyed saying this is easily the hardest puzzle game he's ever had.

    My husband chuckled and did the whole "let me show you how it's done son" thing and came back after 20 minutes, also wide eyed, saying this game is HARD. The description and previous reviews are not lying when they say this game is tough and will put your problem solving skills to the test. This is not to say the game isn't fun, it is and I am SO glad I bought it. But this is maybe not a game for the easily frustrated child. It takes time and patience. I'd give this to a patient child who likes/needs a challenge if you need a break and want to give them an educational distraction that doesn't come from a screen.
