Mind Benders is a dry experience that presents SAT-style questions related to deductive and logical reasoning skills. Players can choose from 28 benders. Each time a game is selected, instructions and scoring information is displayed automatically. Statistics can be viewed and basic game settings can be adjusted by way of a teacher management option. The graphics are no-frills, which can facilitate boredom. We found the activities to be challenging and too advanced for the average second grader, the lower end of the age range.
