Let me first tell you what it is NOT. It is NOT cheaply made, not stupid, not boring, not impossible to solve on the simplest setting.
It is quiet - very nice for nap times, office waiting hours, car rides, restaurants - anything. It is one piece - the plastic pen-stick is connected to the body. It has four sliding sections - each section has a different number of red gates randomly located to create random blocking. You CAN and you WILL slide them to allow you to move through the puzzle. But you can only slide them one step to the left or one step to the right. and sometimes you cannot slide because you are stuck. So you will go back. Say what?? what kind of puzzle is this? You will move forward AND backward, up AND down the board. Since you have 4 slides - it gives you 16 different setting for a starting setting/position (if you remember your theory of probability class). We tried one and two so far. It was NOT EASY - but it is the fun of challenge and uniqueness that keeps you excited.
I have a 5.5 yr old who loves puzzle - your typical paper puzzles, large floor jigsaw puzzles, picture puzzles, etc.
He took it as soon as I took it out of the box, expecting simple plastic puzzle. HE figured out before I did how to move on it. He started to shift the red gates right away. I told him "you can't do that , that's like cheating". Only then I sat down and tried to play it myself. And I got stuck. And ONLY THEN I read the instructions and found that shifting the gates is the critical part of the game. Leave it to a 5.5 yr old to have a better instinct. He loved it from the first try and wanted to try few settings. He agreed that it is not the easy puzzle, but he agreed that it was a great puzzle because of that. Since we both find it equally challenging - it helps him keep motivation to keep trying to solve it. Get it for your kid - but be prepared to want to play it. And if you have that smarty-pant uncle in the family - let him try to solve the first (easiest one)!
This is kind of fun and interesting how they get so many different mazes. I thought it would be great for long car rides but my kids 12,11,8 got bored with it quickly. I think it might have been too hard for them. Instead of it just being a new maze from start to finish, you have to slide the pieces to create the paths. I think it was just too many choices and too complicated for them so they gave up.
Showed him how to use it (after I figured it out) and he sat down in the kitchen and was still and occupied for quite a while. It was rated for 8+ years but he is having fun with it and will grow into it. The only negative is moving the "pegs" to change the challenge. When I finally figured out we could just move one of the red bars, we were good. Until that, changing the challenge setting was frustrating.
The ability to shift the maze around as you go sounded "too good to be true" for my 7 year old son, who LOVES mazes. But he soon found out that shifting things doesn't just let you get past one spot, but changes other spots and can block what was open just a second ago.
Makes for a far more challenging maze than just a static picture on a page.
Wish it were larger and a little more complex, but for the price, was a good deal that he enjoys.
I added this to our basket of "solo" games for when my kids need a quiet project or I need them to have one for a few minutes! I find myself picking it up as much as they do. The mix of mazes ranges from easy to hard. My 8 year old found the harder ranges a bit frustrating but not enough to put it down.
