ThinkFun Gravity Maze Marble Run Brain Game and STEM Toy for Boys and Girls Age 8 and Up – Toy of the Year Award Winner

In my son's 10th year, this game has become an obsession. It is so much fun for him to figure He receives a challenge that makes him exercise critical thinking and problem solving skills. If your child has an only parent who can't keep him amused at all times, this is a wonderful gift. This is more appealing than video games to him! I find that to be quite impressive.

We used to lose pieces all the time, and I just don't have any of them left. In a similar way, Laser Maze is also a puzzle, only because it has more of a gameplay aspect to it When it comes to size, I think it will be easier to keep track of. It consists of several pieces which reflect light and emit laser rays, and one piece that emits a beam of light There is a card telling you where to place various pieces (sometimes exactly which direction the piece should face sometimes you have to look at it to decide the direction the piece should face), and that is the way you set it up. As a result, you must also place the pieces in such a way that when you depress the laser it will light up the appropriate targets. The card will also tell you to place how many and which other pieces to put on the board.

In fact, it's rather simple and straightforward than that description suggests, at least at the beginner's level. In order to work up to the harder levels, you must become more creative and more reflective. This is especially true for those like me who have trouble with spatial orientation. If you decide that you are right, you can flip the card over to see if you are still Until now, none of us has found a different solution from what is on the card.

As you work up in difficulty, you encounter different types of pieces. Colored bases serve as the foundations for the pieces There is always a straightforward way to figure out which one is which because they are each coded. One thing that I do not like about this product is There is a plastic insert in the box that allows you to safely store all the pieces, and each tall piece can fit into I believe the laser piece is supposed to go in one compartment because it is a bit deeper than the others. Although the laser is wide, it is narrow enough to fit into the other compartments, but it sticks out a little. That isn't all that noticeable if you're, say, going to school and have a math class The year is An old man. 8+) Then (if you are the example) put the pieces back just any way you want, The next person will discover that the laser piece needs a battery change when they play with it. Due to the fact that it has been laser-stored The activator - Using the down arrow, push down the button. Obviously, this is all hypothetically speaking. As much as I would like it, I wish that either a) all the little wells in the plastic were just a smidge deeper, so that it wouldn't matter where you put the pieces, or b) the spot where the laser was directed would be deeper. Plastics coloured to match metal pieces would be blatantly obvious, such as when the metal pieces are color matched out of plastic. I'm happy to report that the laser has a very simple replacement battery--this looks like it will require one of those types of batteries. There are multiple types of watch batteries, and this is a common piece. This one is at least one we already have around the house, and among the watch battery types we don't have all that many.

Due to the simplicity of this game, my son was very disappointed, and we decided to donate it to a The second part of my statement is - The positive reviews led me to second guess my decision and I read through the instructions more carefully and took the game out again. few of the beginner cards, then one or two of the intermediate ones and found the game to be fun and interesting. The game was explained to my boys (they were too impatient to read directions) and they were completely absorbed in it. Despite a wide variety of cards for use, both boys found the game both challenging and There are often ways to solve the puzzle other than the one presented, which adds to the fun as well! Do not give up until you have read the directions!.

Toys like this are a hit with 4th graders and engineers. Be bold, make it big and make it long-follow the cards, create your own, and make it your own- Having fun is the most important thing. I played it with two very serious young adults before I asked them to put it away because it was the most wanted in my classroom.

It has been 14 years since I turned 14 The year is The puzzles were solved by my son in about an hour, but he had fun getting them done. Later on, he developed his own challenges that he set on his own "expert" level. There are a few tight gaps, but it's necessary to ensure the marble moves as it should. This just makes the reconfiguration process a little more cumbersome. The game is a brain teaser and well worth the price.

As a Christmas present for my son, I bought him this book. The maze you have to make requires great patience to figure out how to get the marbles through. You need to figure it out fast, because the marble needs to go through in two seconds. A lot of frustration and boredom.

I highly recommend it. The game is great, but once a player figures out the basics, the solutions and patterns become relatively obvious. Laser mazes are also available and are more difficult to figure out, but they are still very entertaining. There is a difference between the laser maze and this 3D maze since the laser maze is 2D. There isn't a huge difference between the harder levels and the easier levels. All of them) All in all, this is a very good game, and we are happy with our.

I am not lying to you. Lasers are cool, but this one is extra fancy. The above is all there is to it. It would have been nice if the picture cards of where to place stuff had some science-related content, but other than that it doesn't really serve a science objective. I just kept it, put it on a top shelf and used it as a future gift for someone I dislike. My hope was to make my kids more aware of science through it but it doesn't come out that way. Children should not play this game since it does not contain any laser knowledge other than figuring out how to get from point A to B with the laser. It is a glorified mirrors and laser shows that is fun and awesome. It is similar to playing operation without having to worry about losing any of the small items. There is no point to it. The purpose of my review is to discourage prospective buyers from buying from me and look elsewhere.
