This is one of the best mind teasing games I have run across. There are over 500 interesting puzzles for your mind. Most of them will sound one way and the answer wil be totally opposite or so simple it makes you mad. You really have to listen to the questions WORD FOR WORD. Do not take ANYTHING for granted. It is unlike the games you played as a child where some words didnt mean anything. ALL words in these a have a meaning. Here is an example of what type of questions you can expect.

Shadow was vacationing on the Isle of Begile. This is an island where the natives always lie and the visitors always tell the truth. Shadow was walking through a mall when Bill, Frank , and Joe approached him. Joe said ,"All of us are natives." Frank said , "only one of us is a visitor." Who is the native and who is the visitor? Explain

ANSWER:
Frank is the visitor and Joe and Bill are natives. The statement made by Joe cannot be correct because if they were all natives none would say they were. Consequently , we know that Joe is a native. Frank , on the other hand, could not be a native since if he was, it means that Bill is the only visitor. This would make Frank's statement true , which he could not make if he was a native.
