Need a Chocolate Fix?
September 9, 2009
In one of our weekly lessons we suggest that our students think outside the box looking for other chocolate related products. One of our students reported that she found a product called Chocolate Fix. This is an idea of thinking inside the "chocolate box."

Chocolate Fix is a single-player game where the pieces are in the shape of chocolate candies. Basically this is a logic, problem solving, game where you have nine chocolates in three different colors and three different shapes. Each exercise gives you clues as to how you put them into the "chocolate box".
Think "chocolate meets Sudoku!" Each 3x3 grid has only one possible solution based on the clues provided. The easiest levels are quite straight forward and help you understand the notation of the clues. The tougher levels provide an addicting challenge. One of the lessons I learned is that apparently a chocolate addiction can apply to something that just looks like chocolate! Or maybe it's a game addiction, a problem solving addiction - heck I don't know.
After working your way through the various levels you'll be ready to eat the pieces. Since they're made of plastic, you better have some real chocolate on hand to get yourself through the experience. This way even if the game proves that you're not much of a logic problem solver, you still go away victorious having shown the chocolate bar who's boss!
The game is inexpensive and would make a great chocolate gift for yourself or for a chocolate lover in your life. For more information just click the photo. It's already a link over to the product on Amazon.com.

As mentioned, this game is similar to Sudoku, but played with fake candy pieces to form a pattern.
After getting a look at the clue (a pattern of candy placement on the board) you must use this knowledge to decode the pattern and fill in all spaces with the candy pieces. Strange as it sounds, I enjoyed playing this game.
Don’t believe for a second, as the manufacturer boasts, that the game will feed your chocolate cravings for hours. Satisfy your puzzle cravings with the game, but let a Green and Black’s 70% Organic give you the real chocolate fix.
