Hello PTAs around the country! At ThinkFun, we create addictively fun games that challenge the mind. It’s always been our mission to build games that bring educational benefits, wrapped up in the most fun gameplay we can imagine.

To help put those games out into the world, we’ve always supported teachers with discounts and free games for the classroom. I (Bill) have spent untold hours driving around to schools and helping run game nights; efforts like this have always been an important part of ThinkFun’s DNA. Now, we want to help bring these opportunities, for fun game nights that can help students build STEM and critical thinking skills, to a wider audience.

All Queens™ ChessThink of it as four-in-a-row chess. In this 2-Player game using all Queens, you’ll have to plan your moves carefully as you outwit your opponent to get four Queens in a row. Just like in a game of chess, the all-powerful Queen can move any number of squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The only difference is that pieces can’t be captured. Stay alert and exercise logic as you navigate the board to get your Queens in a row.


Amaze™ A maze that changes every time you play! Players must navigate through the maze with the attached stylus, pushing open movable gateways while avoiding traps and dead ends! An innovative twist on a classic maze puzzle, Amaze’s diabolical shifting pathways change the solution path during play!

Back Spin™

Back Spin is a double-sided brainteaser that is truly revolutionary. This Oppenheim Award winning puzzle is shaped like a flying saucer with two

into their matching slots — on both sides.

Back Spin might look simple at first, but this cleverly addictive puzzle could leave your head spinning!

Balance Beans®

Balance Beans is a logic game and math game all in one. Set up the Red Beans according to the Challenge Card. Then

Block By Block®

Block By Block expands your spatial problem-solving skills as you combine seven puzzle pieces to construct three-dimensional structures depicted on the 60 challenge cards. The puzzle pieces are the same as the famous Soma Cube of the 1970s. This spatial puzzle is tough —
