3 Games That Could Blow Your Mind

I've been posting a lot of physical fitness tips and exercises lately so I thought of taking a break from all that and train one of the more important parts of our body - the brain. Here are some puzzles that could actually make you scream out of frustration in trying to solve them. Just a few tips: relax, focus, use all available resources (except looking for solutions over the Internet), and get some snacks and drinks when you feel like it.

Not Pron
Not Pron

Not Pron - A browser-based game that requires you to look for clues from every single page (including images, URLs, and page source - some levels even require you to use specific programs to solve). It has been years since I last tried to solve this and forgot what level I got stuck at. The solutions seemed to have changed since I last tried, although the methods of getting them are the same. It is very, very difficult and I highly doubt anybody can solve it in one sitting. Try it.

Family River Crossing
Family River Crossing
Family River Crossing - I'm sure most of you have encountered river crossing games that require the player to move a certain number of people, animals, or object to the other side. Although it sounds easy, there are certain rules to follow that make a simple task very difficult. Click on the blue circle after loading the game. The rules for this one are as follows:

1. The raft can carry only 2 people.
2. The father can not be left with any of the daughters unless the mother is present
3. The mother can not be left with any of the sons unless the father is present.
4. The criminal can not stay with any family member unless the guard is present.
5. Only the father, mother, and guard know how to use the raft.

Click on the characters to move them on/off raft. Click the red control ball to send the raft across the river.

Bridge Crossing
Bridge Crossing
Bridge Crossing - Another classic puzzle. For this one, you'll have to guide a family in crossing a bridge. The bridge can only hold 2 people and the lamp would last only 20 minutes (the one I played before was 30 minutes but with one more person). After crossing the bridge with the lamp, someone will have to go back with it to fetch the others. Each person has a number, which is actually the number of minutes that he/she can cross the bridge. Of course, the faster person has to follow the pace of the slower one so the number of minutes to cross would depend on the latter.
