ThinkFun Circuit Maze Electric Current Brain Game and STEM Toy for Boys and Girls Age 8 and Up - Toy of the Year Finalist, Teaches Players about Circuitry through Fun Gameplay

Learning opportunities are excellent tion; This is a significant flaw. In case you didn't know, my three-star rating is 5. 0. A lot of people are positive about this product, but it is not necessarily a wise decision. Multiple challenges are presented in the same place in logic, and basic electronic circuitry as well. The challenges grow more and more complex as the game progresses. Beware that this can be very complex. It seems the second one has been around longer than the first. circuitry have anything to do with- the actual problem is the lack of a design. A couple of things to keep in mind about parallel circuits and series circuits is how to get electricity flowing from one source to another. In addition to spatial relationships, the topic is also important. All the pieces included in the specifications are to be used, as well as any loose ends. So a solution may be easier to find in some cases, but there are pieces you do not use all the time, or there are loose ends. To test out some of these things you need to tinker, experiment, and (if you're really smart, I suggest you don't do that). Imagine how things should be when you think about them ( ) imagine in your mind how it should be. I believe this is one of the best learning toys I have ever seen when viewed in concept. My parents would have simply died without having this. Had you tried to pry me away with a crowbar, I might not have taken off. Nevertheless, I also want to emphasize that I believe it needs a little guidance, particularly on general electronics basics. Because of the way the LED system is constructed, I found that lighting up all three LED pieces in sequence is impossible. In situations where all three LEDs must be lit up simultaneously, parallel circuits must be employed. (For a better understanding of series versus parallel, the instructions explain that these two forms differ, but there is never an instruction denying) There is at no point, the instructions refuse to allow series in any way. As you can see, the three LED pieces are all resistors, so there is one of a subtopic that leads to a breakdown. There was no mention of this, but if you're genuine about understanding circuitry, you ought to know resistance. A teacher of the same age may explain it in an appropriate way, when it is needed. It goes a long way in achieving this. From here on out, there's an essential flaw. A lack of execution on this toy leaves me wondering what is wrong with it. I can probably say almost invariably, that there is no problem. Put each piece in the proper manner and things shine. Some problems, however, can be described only in one or two basic ways:

1. You have pieces pop out. As you push that last piece in, one you already have in place-. . Pieces of your equipment pop out when placed. Then, there are more (or two, or three) pops out of the pusher. When all the pieces are grouped in such a manner, you can't tell which one is behind them or which one lies on top.

2. Weakening the contacts can be frustrating. Although one or more of the LEDs aren't lighting up, the pieces are properly installed. Various pieces need to be pushed and squeezed together to make contact between them. It takes only a few seconds; Sometimes nothing flickering does not occur. It can sometimes seem weak. Occasionally, however, they all come alive as the right push is made. In other instances, it's necessary to pull on two or three different places to achieve any illumination. As an adult, they confuse me as to what was correct by turning off a kid, thinking he will solve a problem if the solution is looked at, only to fail to work by giving her bad grades. By stacking a handful of monster-sized Frankenstein hands* around my board, it becomes possible for me to push and prod at different points on the board at once while playing. There has been some tinkering with the pieces as I've done it. As with some contacts, you may attempt to bend them out a bit in order to avoid damaging the object. I hope that this will help for a short time. While the LED pieces are mounted with a sophisticated set of contacts, it is impossible to adjust them, causing the fixture to break and torn apart. While these constraints restrict availability and advice for kids dealing with such situations, I would advise adults to remain available for help and assistance. is a special type or individual that is willing to cope with the limitations of the product and refuses to need or want assistance. I'm sure you will struggle as she chases away. "Ouch!" she will probably say. There's science in me!! I would much rather have a little encouragement and little reassuring words such as "Do not be discouraged," rather than the two people who disappeared as a result of these two. There was a sci-fi movie called "Lobster Claws" about radioactive rays destroying lobsters, so this is similar - they go bald, have spare tires, and these glasses don't work anymore. What are you talking about, why are you whispering and what?.

Playing games and using your imagination is all that is required for this. I had no idea what my son would think of this game when I went to see it. Our first game was played after opening it up. We were back in the box 15 minutes after taking it out and placed it in the closet after it emerged. Why? The game just doesn't work, and we are all having a tough time with it. In the first issue, there are no good dominos. They don't carry a lot of weight. A consequence of this is the staircase will not be ascended. It hits the first one and then you stop it. Many of the "spinner" products do not work, however they looked beautiful. Don't try to save money on this by spending too much time and money.

A poor Concept. I purchased this for my 10 year old son. It looked like it was a quality product. Yet again, we were unable to locate the first two or three circuit cells after assembling them. initially, there was simply enough (-) to maintain as desired. A few of the components were correct, but the rest were not. As soon as you pressed harder on the blocks, the lights came on. it became apparent to me that they are unable to make good contact throughout the block. Moreover, on top of the issues with the blocks themselves, some don't stay on the board for long; other problems occur as they fall out randomly in different directions. A 'circuit' can no longer take advantage of any block that causes it to fail. We've just taken home a kit that looks just like the one pictured above, and, as I mentioned, I hate this after just a short spell. i have recently came across a few other'snap together' style kits like it too. Having each piece snapped together instead of placed next to one another would be fine, as I think it would address the problem with the contacts on each piece. Try purchasing a kit and see if the result was as advertised. This is one I would advise staying away from, as far as I am concerned. This product won't last, it will not work reliably, and it will just raise more doubts.

Having spent $30 on this game it definitely was not an impulse buy, the box stated batteries not included and used batteries. The returned used part was filthy and the original box stated batteries not included. Take careful note of the buyer.

One idea that was difficult to produce, however, was very simple. circuit can be made by having the square pieces snapped into place on a board. One can easily snap one, another one, and yet another one is hard to snap in. Getting all of them to work together can be challenging even when all seem in place. In addition, the box needs to be better lined: This piece will keep the pieces neatly centered. However, this method has been characterized by holding them in such a way that it is almost impossible to remove them, requiring the removal of the liner, which needs to be pushed back. You can only enjoy it if it's a great puzzle in general. The fundamentals of electrical principles are found in this list: : Using LED lights, the electricity will pass in one direction only. A circuit would split, which will result in a lower current voltage. Rather than focusing on the complexity of the puzzles and the difficulty levels, this puzzle merely introduces those basic concepts through its logic puzzles.

All 60 challenges have been completed for me. Additionally, I have enjoyed a number of ThinkFun Logic games. Good one! Good one pretty good. Having the entire set up and knocked down is something which is very gratifying. Towards the end, it became difficult to achieve. Even though I had encountered few problems on other projects, I only encountered some slight ones by adding one of the challenges just to be unsure if I needed to reorient it or take everything out again immediately. Especially at a high level. In terms of specifics, the later challenges really exploit those new rules. Although the spinner's ball can hit a target, he cannot hit it at an angle with it. A goal can have pieces at an angle afterward, however.
