Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what we get asked most. Still stuck? Send us a message and a real person will reply.

Orders & Shipping

How much is shipping?

Shipping is free on US orders of $100 and up. Orders below that are charged a flat rate calculated at checkout based on your address.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Most in-stock orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Delivery time after that depends on your location, typically 3 to 7 business days within the continental US.

Do you ship internationally?

We work with distributors in several countries, and buying locally is usually faster and cheaper than shipping from the US. See our distributor list to find one near you.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Email support@geniusgames.org as soon as possible with your order number. Once an order has shipped we can't modify it, but you can return it under our policy.

Returns & Problems

What is your return policy?

You have 30 days from purchase to return an unused item in its original packaging. Full details are on our return policy page.

My game arrived damaged or is missing pieces. What now?

Email support@geniusgames.org with your order number and a photo. We replace defective or damaged items at no cost to you.

Can I get replacement parts for a game I already own?

Get in touch with the game name and which component you need. We keep spares for most titles and will help where we can.

Our Games

Are the games actually scientifically accurate?

Yes. Our titles are developed with input from scientists and educators, and several are recognized by bodies like Mensa and the National Science Teaching Association. See our awards page.

What age range are your games for?

It varies by title. Every product page lists a recommended age, from around 4 and up for our puzzles through to teen and adult strategy games.

Do I need to know science to play?

No. The games are designed to be fun first. The science comes through play rather than requiring any background knowledge going in.

Where can I find the rules or a how-to-play video?

Rulebooks and playthrough videos are linked on each product page, and our Lessons section has more.

Educators & Retailers

Do you offer discounts for schools or classrooms?

We work with educators regularly. Browse our For Educators collection, or email sales@geniusgames.org about classroom sets and bulk pricing.

I run a store. How do I stock your games?

See our Become a Retailer page. We offer wholesale rates to most US vendors and distributors and work with hobby distributors internationally.

Can I use your games in a library, museum, or after-school program?

Absolutely, and we would love to hear about it. Get in touch at sales@geniusgames.org to talk about volume orders.
