I found this game to be wholly unsatisfying to play. The puzzle aspect is neat, but the payoff is lame because of how quickly the metal ball travels through the "solution." You drop it in the top and almost instantly it zooms to the bottom. I guess if you find knowing you did the solution satisfying enough, but I would have enjoyed the pieces being wider so the ball took longer to travel down. I ended up returning it.

To each their own, though. Good reviews on Amazon and this is a good price.
That's not the right age for this toy. Level 2 problems start getting challenging even for 10-12 year olds. Putting the marble in is just a way to validate the solution, the actual game is building structures to solve the problems.

This is a really fun game. It's worth $20 but no more because it's short. I wish they would've added expansion packs to this game for that reason.

At this price, I suggest buying 2 so you can make a bigger "puzzle" since it feels kind of limited after awhile. It's great just to leave out on the coffee table & have passersby give it a go.

These are at local Goodwill stores constantly for under $5, very YMMV but common here. They also tend to be complete or clearly not used much.

It's a dumb cheap toy. It will not make your kids smarter..

I got this for my 4 and 6 year old years ago and it was only interesting for 2 hours. I donated to Goodwill after.

You put the marble in and less than a second it's done. No matter how complicate you set it up, it will end in 1 second.

Not sure why so many good reviews. That photo of a big kid playing this has to be on the short bus... Applause
My daughter hated this. Needless to say, it was never touched again.
