This is a great toy for an only child whose parents can't entertain ...

My 10 year old son is obsessed with this game. He loves figuring out each maze. It makes him use problem solving skills and logic. This is a great toy for an only child whose parents can't entertain the child every minute. He choses this over video games! Now that is saying something.

Fun Single Player Game

My son was very disappointed with the simplicity of this game, so we decided we would donate it to local hospital. I second-guessed my decision due to some of the positive reviews and took the game out again and read through the instructions more carefully. I tried a couple of the beginner cards, then a few intermediate cards and found the game fun and interesting! I explained the game to my boys (too impatient to read directions) and they were completely engrossed with the the game. Both boys tried multiple cards and found the game both challenging and very enjoyable. We often find different solutions for the puzzle than the solution provided, which also adds to the fun factor! Read the directions before you give up!!

Buy this toy--it is fun.

4th graders and engineers love this toy. Follow the cards, create your own, make it big, make it long--it's all fun. It is the most sought after game in my classroom and it engaged two very serious young adults until they were told to put it away.

Fascinating for kids and grownups!

I bought it as a gift for my grandsons, who liked it and began playing with it the minute they opened it, but it was just as intriguing for our sons, their dad and uncle!

Fun game, highly recommended

Great game but once a person figures out the basics the solutions/patterns become fairly easy to spot. They also make a laser maze which is also a lot of fun but even easier to figure out. This is a step up since the laser maze is 2D and this is 3D. The more challenging levels are not radically more challenging, however. Kids love it and I am happy they are digging an educational game (just don't tell them that ;-) All-in-all a very good game and happy with the purchase.

Great to teach problem solving and critical thinking skills.

I bought this to use in my therapy sessions with children to help increase executive functioning skills, specifically problem solving and critical thinking. It has 4 levels and starts at the very basic level which gradually increases difficulty in order for the individual to become comfortable with the technique. Also great for adults who like chess but do not have a partner. I relate it a lot to chess as you have to predict several moves/positions ahead of time, to visually picture the layout in order to win. I highly recommend this as not only a 1-person game but as a teaching tool as well.

Gravity Maze Awesomeness

This is a great brain exerciser for everyone, old and young alike. It's a nice size for a desk and certainly an attention getter by its appearance. Think Fun products are well made and the Gravity Maze is a great example of that. The towers are colorful, precision built,and interesting to look at. The base has rubber non-slip pads for great traction and holds motionless while snapping the game pieces in place and when the bearing is rolling through them. The difficulty progresses at a comfortable level and it's fun watching the ball bearing travel downward through the game pieces in the hopes of making it all the way to the goal, the red box. Highly Recommended

Be careful about the laser

Yet another cute, well-made single-player logic game that can liberate parents for a while. The room needs to be somewhat dark for the laser light to become visible. This is not a problem. Simply play this game away from windows and with room lights off. My only concern is that young kids tend to forget the warning that the laser light should not be pointed at their eyes. When kids test the laser light, they often lower their heads to the same level of the laser light to get a closer look--- This can be scary. My suggestion for parents is to first observe your kid playing this game to see if he/she remembers the warning long enough to qualify for playing it by him/herself.

Fun for smart kids (and adults)

Just picked this up as a birthday gift for an 11-year-old, though I bought it for my own son a couple of years ago when he was 8. My son goes to a STEM school and loves the engineering he's learned, so we've had a great time with this game, figuring out how to position the pieces to light up the right pieces. The game contains triangular pieces with mirrors on one side and reflectors on another side, another piece that splits the laser into two beams, and of course a piece that produces the laser beam. (There are a couple of other pieces too). You draw a card, which tells you the exact placement of certain pieces, and how many reflectors need to light up, and you have to figure out how to make it happen. As far as I can tell, there is only one solution for each puzzle, and the back side of the card reveals it. There are 60 cards in all, 15 at each difficulty level. The beginning cards are enough to challenge an 8-10 year old who has never played this game, and the medium, advanced, and expert step it up from there. The quality of the board and pieces seems very good, and the cards are thick and strong. As a parent, it's pretty fantastic to see your kid work hard at one of the challenging puzzles and figure it out himself. I highly recommend this game.

Brilliant game

I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this game for my 12-year-old son. He enjoys science in the experiments so I thought I would try it. This game did not disappoint. The beginning cards are quite easy but once you start going through the deck of cards moving up in difficulty they become increasingly hard to figure out even for adults. It will definitely get everyone in the family working together !
