Most brain-teasing games are designed with a certain level of difficulty – either it is too easy for adults, like the 10-piece jigsaw puzzles, or too difficult, like the Rubiks Cube that very few can solve. Most players either lose interest because it is too easy or feel frustrated because it is too difficult to solve.

Are you looking for a puzzle game that anyone can play, but still offers plenty to master? Look no further than Kanoodle, it is a fantastic award winning game that has received a huge amount of attention around the world. Kanoodle is the result of many years of research and development to create a fun, enjoyable and challenging brain exercise game for all ages.

Beware, Kanoodle is a very addictive game, so it’s the perfect game to return to again and again. Play it against yourself or have great fun when two or more players compete with each other to see who can finish a game first.


Kanoodle is an innovative game that enhances hand-eye coordination, improves cognitive logic skills, and trains short-term memory. Playing the Kanoodle is like doing a Yoga exercise with your brain. It tickles your brain with an easy level puzzle that you can solve in a minute. But don’t be fooled – it is just a warm up exercise to prepare you for more challenging puzzles ahead. When you play the more challenging level puzzles, it will give your brain a good stretch for hours, even days. But when you complete the puzzle, you will feel like a genius with a fantastic sense of achievement and youre ready to move onto the next puzzle.


Kanoodle consists of 12 building blocks (known as Pentominoes), each unique in shape and color. Each Pentomino can be rotated in 90° intervals or can be flipped in 180° to create a mirror image. Each puzzle revolves around a rectangular game board of 55 spaces. The goal is to place all Pentominoes into the game board to occupy all 55 spaces. That sounds easy doesn’t it? Don’t be fooled! Not every puzzle you set out will have a unique answer and each new puzzle will be a new challenges. Challenge yourself or others to see who can complete the most puzzle and within the shortest time.

Latest reviews of Kanoodle Lite app for iPhone and iPad

Doesnt Work
Doesnt work…at all. Guess they want you to pay for the $2.99 version.
Save your money
Any app by the developer Lonpos doesnt work. I thought that maybe another version would be better... no such luck. Why develop an app that wont work? Secondly why sell one that doesnt work?
Does not work!!!!
Very angry this app does not work, should have read the other reviews before I purchased this. Rip off
Doesnt work!
I was thrilled to find an app for the game my kids fight over! This could be such an awesome game but my teenager could make a better one...at least one that works. Disappointing.
Good puzzler
Lite version is an ok puzzler. Dont understand point of all the extra dots with letters in them. They need to go. Distract from gameplay & design. Puzzle board should just be shape/size of current pieces with blocked bubbles to change shape of game board. Sound can be turned down/off which is good. Music & sound effects get really annoying quickly. There are other versions of this same game with better layouts & game play. Dont understand the point of this developer releasing different versions of the EXACT same game but with a different name. This is identical to Lonpos except it has a cuter name/icon to appeal to kids/more people. Pointless cluttering of App Store. Wont buy upgrade to full game because its too expensive.
