Some of these Think Fun games are really good for the kids. Not only do they keep them busy but it stimulates there minds as well. We got this Domino Maze [amazon.com] last month (yes, I paid full price!) and my 8 and 9 year old's have spent a lot of time with it and enjoyed it. We also have the Rush Hour [amazon.com] one which is a classic (current $21 price is a bit high for it though). As an uncle, these are the type of games where your sister/brother would be happy you got for their kids.

I got the gravity maze last time it was on sale in february for $22.50. Worth it. Loved it.

The harder levels are fairly challenging to the point many adults will not be able to figure it out, while the easier levels were simple and engaging enough for a 4 year old.

Build quality could be better. For the simple puzzles, it is fine but when you start getting to more complex puzzles and after continuous use, the pieces do not snap together as snugly as you might like and they can wobble a bit. They are made of plastic and only snap in at the top and bottom of the pieces. This can be frustrating for children, because they might not be able to notice when the marble does not finish correctly not because their solution is incorrect, but because of mechanical issues like the pieces not being snapped in snugly or wobbling too much. Still, the pieces work well enough.

I also have Rush Hour, and this game has a very similar feel (setup based on cards, then solve) except you are adding an extra dimension. The 3rd dimension makes the gravity maze unique in that it is much more difficult to duplicate in a simple app than 2d puzzle games like rush hour, dominoes, or tangrams. I was pleasantly alarmed by how intuitively gravmaze develops spacial awareness.

Rush hour is currently included in the b2g1 deal at target if you're interested. I think other thinkfun games might also be available but am not sure.

It's been cheaper ($14.99) but not in four years. Wonder why the thumbs down? Rush Hour is a great game, so I'm hopeful that this builds on that that system/mechanic.

Good luck!

Each cube has lots of flavor, and it lasts. This configuration is great for on a desk or in your pantry.

Gravity Maze is an awesome game. We finally opened it and my daughter has been playing with it for the last 2 hours. Definitely recommended when it goes on sale again. Thanks OP.
