Fun game My kids are very picky about games and seem to love this game. I find it fun too. The timer is a bit worthless so its better just to time yourself with a watch. Other than that the game seems reasonable durable and has good replay value. I'm surprised this toy isn't more popular.
Great toy. Still have mine from the This is great game for kids and perhaps drunk adults to play. It first came out in the 80s and I played it when I was 10. (about 18 years ago)
It is tricky but not too difficult to master - I remember being frustrated at the ramp and the blind maze, as those were the two hardest parts of the maze. It probably took me an hour before I could finish the maze in one go, and then it was time to beat the maze in under 60 seconds.
I think it would be a great tool to help kids develop fine motor skills.
It requires no batteries or electronics. I still have the toy and it works just as well as the first day.
Have a look on youtube for people playing this game. Its fun and challenging.
I'm glad they still sell classic toys like this.
Horrible, horrible toy I don't understand what the other reviewers saw in this toy. You are racing against the clock to complete the challenge in 60 seconds. None of us (ages 5, 16, and adult) were able to complete the challenge at all. While it might be fun to try parts of it, it seems impossible to make it through the whole maze without making any mistakes and having to start over. We are all bewildered as to who would try to market this to children who will quickly become homicidal playing with this. Maybe I should have given it more stars for educational value since it will teach the kids how to swear.
A better and more durable problem solving game. Similar to "Mousetrap" in that the young player must figure out how things work to succeed, this game focuses on getting the ball from the start of the course to the end. It is similar to the "Labyrith" games but instead of just tipping the table to roll the ball, the player must get the ball through a series of brain puzzles to move on to the next section. My 6 yr old son loves this game and will play with it for long periods of time. He sticks with it even after many of the adults have thrown in the towel. This game is highly recommended.
Awesome! :0) This was my favorite game growing up in the 70's - It was then called"Run yourself ragged." The game is the same and I enjoy it just as much as I was when I was a child. ( My 4 year old also loves the challenge)
