About The Answer Is 42

About this game

Developed and published by Mens Sana Interactive.

The Answer is 42 is a math-based puzzle game where you'll find 100 levels with incremental difficulty. Use the numbers on the board and connect them to create 42 until you've used all of the pieces, testing both your math and logical skills. 

Over 100 Puzzles

Find the proper solution to get to 42 from various numbers on the screen. Use addition and subtraction to complete the puzzle — you'll need to use every piece per level to be able to proceed to the next. With 100 levels to complete, you'll need to sharpen your math skills as you go from two pieces to more than 15 per level! Can you find the 42 on each one?

Numerous Challenges

Adding up to 42 isn't your only hurdle. You'll need to cleverly use the board to ensure that you have enough pieces to complete all of them, as each one cannot repeat paths or cross each other — each puzzle has a specific solution that you'll need to use logic to solve.

No Time Limit

The Answer is 42 is a puzzle-focused title that'll test your math and logical skills. With no time limit, you'll be able to take as long or little as you need per level whilst listening to the original soundtrack.

Nice math puzzle game but a bit repetitive

My The Answer Is 42 Video Review is can be found here: https://youtu.be/BOOB4dGufy4 Is The Answer Is 42 an ideal game for people who like to solve puzzles but are not stressed by any time limits or some other limitations? Let’s start with the positives sides of the game - instant gameplay, easy to learn, relaxing game atmosphere, some levels can be challenging, reasonable difficulty and well chosen audiovisuals for such type of the game. And here are the downsides - absence of any story, too simplistic concept without anything new to discover, unbalanced difficulty - some later levels might be much easier than previous ones, sometimes clunky controls, absence of the game mode that would add up some challenge to the game and creeping stereotype as you virtually do the same task over and over again. Pros: - instant gameplay - easy to learn - relaxing atmosphere - some challenging levels - difficulty - suitable audiovisuals - price Cons: - no story - too simplistic - some later levels are easier than previous ones - clunky controls sometimes - no challenging game mode - creeping stereotype The game is suitable for kids who can practice math and logical thinking while playing. I am just afraid that they won’t hold their attention for a long time as the game will become repetitive for them after a few levels. Maybe the presence of local multiplayer where two players could compete to solve the puzzle first would help the game to be more entertaining. And also adding some new ideas like more mathematical operations or some kind of challenges would prevent the game from early stereotype. Thanks to its low price, relaxing game atmosphere and solid design of puzzles I can still recommend the game to casual players and their families and thus I am giving the game Thumbs Up and VideoGaming Father’s Index 6 out of 10 - still recommended.

This is a nifty little puzzle game. Easy enough to understand but some levels really fry your brain. There are 100 levels to be completed, all with their own unique strategy. I especially liked that you can find little hidden "pictures" in the solution of some selected levels. It took me 2,5 hours to complete the game, which is quite good for such a small and cheap game imo.
