Brainwright Bananacus

I love this puzzle as a 43 year old. I think I have a good hold on it, but my 12 year old gave up on it- wuss. Lol!You do have to have the yellow piece in just the right place to allow the beads to flow smoothly, but it can be done.

Very neeto puzzle. Not brain burning but not too simple either. The biggest problem with this is the construction of the toy. The tolerances of the beads and pivoting joints on the yellow banana tracks is way too tight. The manufacturer should make a bigger version with “looser” balls, or balls that will roll when you need them to roll, without having the banana tracks in the extreme most precise position. In general this toy puzzle works but it gets frustrating getting the balls to move due to the tightness and extreme tolerances this was manufactured with.

This is so cute and we have a number of other fidgets by the brand. However, you can only really move the beads when it is in the C shape. It is hard to rotate the shape because the beads have to be in the just right position not to block the movement of the yellow shape. We wanted to love it but it was not easy to fidget with and it does not get used.
