help IQ Waves FAQ

How many challenges and pieces are in IQ Waves?

The SmartGames IQ Waves box contains 8 wave-shaped pieces and a booklet with 120 challenges and solutions. It is a one-player pocket puzzle for ages 6 and up. [SmartGames specifications](https://www.smartgames.com/uk/one-player-games/iq-waves)

How do the wave pieces fit on the IQ Waves board?

Choose a challenge, place the shown pieces as directed, then fit the remaining pieces into the grid. A piece only fits when the orientation of its segments matches the grid, so rotating a piece can change whether the remaining space works. [SmartGames instructions](https://www.smartgames.com/uk/one-player-games/iq-waves)

Is IQ Waves a 3D puzzle or a flat jigsaw?

It is a one-player logic puzzle with 8 shaped pieces that fill a board, not a traditional jigsaw with a picture. The main challenge is spatial reasoning about shape, orientation, and the space left by the challenge setup. [SmartGames product details](https://www.smartgames.com/uk/one-player-games/iq-waves)

How is IQ Waves different from SmartGames IQ Fit?

IQ Waves uses wave-shaped segments whose orientation must line up with the grid, while IQ Fit uses a different 3D block arrangement. Both are solo SmartGames puzzles, but their piece geometry and challenge booklets are not interchangeable. [SmartGames IQ collection](https://www.smartgames.com/uk/one-player-games/iq-waves)
