Trying to find the right Jar Game for your space or your loved one? Choosing one, or just a few, can be daunting, so here are a few tips to make it easier to find just the right Jar Game(s).
1. Is Age a factor?
If you’re buying for kids, then you might first be able to rule out some of the games if they’re under 12. See the age recommendations for each Jar Game.
2. Is Difficulty a factor?
There are some people that embrace the unreasonable challenges – but that’s not for everyone. That’s why Jar Games are split into one of 4 levels of difficulty.
For kids and adults looking for some social fun, it’s best to stick to Simple, Novel, or Strategic. Gnarly is a category reserved for gritty problem solvers who want to know they can face the impossible.
| Difficulty | Age |
| Simple | 5+ |
| Novel | 8+ |
| Strategic | 12+ |
| Gnarly | 14+ |
3. Is there a Theme?
Likely the most fun way to browse Jar Games is by theme. For instance, if you’re shopping for a basketball player, the Hoop Jar Game may be ideal.
Furthermore, if you’ve identified the target difficulty, then one might stand out from the pack. For instance, someone buying for a high schooler, might gravitate to the Strategic level, but depending on the personality may choose the Staircase for an engineering-type or the Swing for the social butterfly.
4. What’s the Environment?
Depending on whether you’re gifting for a gathering space, bedroom, office, or some other place, you may want to consider just one or many Jar Game(s).
If it’s a room where people will regularly be entertained, then you might want to consider getting 3 Jar Games that cleanly fit in the Jar Games Holder, specifically designed to make Jar Games feel at home on the shelf.
And if the environment needs to lean formal, then you might consider the Jar Games with Black Lids, or even Hand & Fable’s Artisan Puzzles.
Now you’re all set!
You should now have a good understanding of how to pick the right Jar Game(s).
