For a hand-picked selection of brain teasers across easy, medium and fiendish levels, have a look at the adult puzzle range at Happy Puzzle Co.
The 3D and giant multi-storey versions bring something new to the classic. Instead of a flat board, counters travel up and around a tall structure, with the snakes and ladders running between levels, which children find far more exciting to watch. Larger garden versions scale the whole thing up for outdoor play, so the game moves from the kitchen table to the lawn on a sunny day.

Word games sit in a sweet spot between fun and family-friendly. They give players a reason to think about letters and words, but wrapped up in a race or a puzzle rather than a test. That makes them a popular choice for families who want screen-free play that keeps everyone reaching for letters at the same time.

Solo puzzle games are useful when you need to keep one child occupied without a second player. The Genius Square and Genius Star are self-contained, so a child can roll, place and solve on a tray table or a picnic blanket without anyone else joining in. Card games such as Flip 7, available from The Happy Puzzle Company, come into their own when the whole family wants a quick round at a campsite or in a holiday cottage.
