App Profile: Gridular: A Number Puzzle Game

I have ADHD and Aspergers, so I really like puzzles that don’t take too long. I got tired of sudoku and ken ken, so I was looking for more puzzle games that are simple and no flashing lights that had to do with numbers and basic elements. I found this one day, and I would play it hour after hour. I would catch myself thinking about how some figures would work with each other. I’d often visualize game setups in my head, like in queens gambit. After about two days playing, I got pretty far, but I was still trying to push myself. That’s when I started playing without the filler (red) squares, and solely played with the dark blue ones. From there, I would play 8x8 games in my head without my phone. It’s a great way to stimulate ones mind. I highly recommend.

This appeals to me. Different than other games that feel like mindless time-wasters. I’m practicing spatial reasoning. I know this is good for my brain like Omega-3’s. It probably appeals to other people who like Sudoku, like me. I worry about playing games that have too many carnival-type flashing lights and bright colors. I think the ‘activity’ should stimulate your brain, not lights and color. No wonder so many kids exhibit ADHD symptoms in school. I can almost feel new neural pathways growing. I play on my Ipad before falling off to sleep each night. Angie-HS Math Teacher (and longtime advocate for healthy body/healthy brain)

I've been looking for a nonSodoku number game for brain training and this one is great! There is just enough problem solving to make it a challenge and fairly quick to solve. After level 30 I was tired of the ads and spent $2 to have them removed. Money well spent. This is an excellent game!
