\"\"<\/a>In Glass Masquerade, you put together pieces of a stained-glass window to form a clock face.\u00a0 So yeah, it\u2019s a jigsaw puzzle.\u00a0 It\u2019s available to download on nearly all current gaming devices, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

You start out by picking a country on a map.\u00a0 As you complete puzzles, you\u2019ll unlock more places to go and more puzzles to solve.\u00a0 Each puzzle is mostly circular in design, and is a round-ish clock face with a stained glass window behind it.\u00a0 The pieces are around the circle, and you can highlight them with the left analog stick and press the X button to pick one up.\u00a0 Once you do that, you can move it on the puzzle and if you press the button again where it\u2019s supposed to go, it\u2019ll snap into place.\u00a0 If not, it\u2019ll just go back to where it was before.\u00a0 Once you have all the pieces in place, you\u2019ll solve the puzzle.<\/p>\n

You can choose to have hint pieces that give you a start, or not.\u00a0 You can also stop a puzzle and continue solving it later, which is nice.\u00a0 The easy puzzles take about ten minutes to solve, and the harder ones a little longer.\u00a0 The game records how long it takes to solve each puzzle.\u00a0 The only problems I had with the game is that the pieces look too large to fit where they are supposed to go, and since it\u2019s stained glass, you really go by shapes instead of colors, since stained glass windows are separated by lines.\u00a0 Plus the clock hands get in the way sometimes.\u00a0 But even so, I still had some casual fun with this game, so if you like jigsaw puzzles and stained glass windows, you might want to check this out as well.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the menus, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 I guess it could be slightly educational in the geography and social studies department, as you click puzzles from countries on a map, and can see their flag.\u00a0 The puzzles you solve usually have to do with that region as well.\u00a0 Glass Masquerade is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
