In Quantum Conundrum, players take on the role of a young kid dropped off on his uncle's doorstep for the weekend; his uncle just so happens to be the brilliant, eccentric inventor, Professor Fitz Quadwrangle. Upon entering the Professor's vast manor home retrofitted with crazy technology to test his latest hypotheses, players quickly realize their uncle has gone missing. Fortunately, players soon gain access to Professor Quadwrangle's latest invention, the Inter-Dimensional Shift Device, which, at the press of a button, will shift the world around them to an entirely new dimension. In order to find him, players must use the newly found IDS Device to dynamically change the world to and from a variety of different dimensions to progress through the complicated Quadwrangle Manor. While on the journey, becoming adept at utilizing the various dimensions will help them trek from one bizarre and challenging room to the next. It might sound easy enough, but it is a tall order for a kid in a giant puzzle of a manor!

Negatives:
- Inconsistent puzzle quality. Sometimes they can be creative and satisfying to solve, but sometimes they can feel bland and repetitive to play.
- Annoying platforming sections, considering the object physics are not that consistent and first person platforming is always an awkward thing to do.
- The Professor is not a good character. He tries too hard to be quirky and funny, but it ends up making him irritating to listen to. I especially hate when he gives you hints or straight up backseats you in the middle of solving a puzzle.
- A boring and forgettable story.
Overall, it's not a good puzzle-platformer game. You're not missing out on anything if you haven't played it yet.
