Perplexus Mini - Cascading Cups 3D sculptural Portable Maze Game

Great entertainment. Good for building fine motor skills. These small Perplexus toys can be completed pretty quickly, but they would make great stocking stuffers for Christmas. I also got my kids the big ball Perplexus toys for next Christmas. I'm sure they will be quite a challenge, even for myself.

I have all of the Perplexus mazes (except for the giant one on gimbals) and just received both of the minis. They are well-made, standard Perplexus quality, and very affordable. Unlike other Perplexus, there is not "start" or "end," you can keep going around and around, with 4 different areas where you can put the ball on the track in the unlikely event it drops off.I finished them both while taking a quick break, so not very challenging (still way better than the terrible Drakko). They still look cool on a desk, and may be a good introduction to these mazes, or good for kids. Of the 2, I liked Cascading Cups better, but neither of them are hard.If you want a smaller Perplexus with a bit of challenge, I'd try the Q-Bot, it's not easy but very doable, or the mini version of the original (extremely challenging in its tiny-form).Still, these are great little fidget toys.

My kids, age 7 and 5, enjoy Perplexus maze games! At first there is a little frustration with learning how to best navigate the ball through the maze, but they get through the challenge and have lots of fun! I like that it helps with hand-eye coordination, problem solving, basic physics, etc. I highly recommend Perplexus maze games!

Bought this for my son who loves mazes. The plastic on the game was cracked. Since it was a Christmas gift, the packaging was already thrown away, so I couldn’t do a simple amazon return. I called Spinmaster and they were super helpful and friendly. They are going to send a replacement after I send proof of purchase.

Really cheap plastic. Very little challenge, more frustration. Having ball go from one basket to the next might be slightly more interesting. But a lot of times the plastic orange baskets don’t move as smoothly as they should. Give it to your dog, and let him chew it

My sone loves these toys and they keep him busy. The marble never comes out of the casing so you never have to worry about losing it.The only disadvantage was he knew what he was getting before he opened the box.

My 9 year old really enjoys puzzles of all kinds and this was just right. We have the larger Perplexus games also, but this is a nice size. He can complete it easily, but he likes that about this puzzle. He gets frustrated easily with the larger puzzles, so this is a good one that just takes a few minutes and if your ball falls off near the end it isn't as big of a deal. I'd recommend it for travel, use as a sensory toy, or even just an introduction to the larger puzzles.

It’s cool. Very easy to beat though. And when I got it the ball was lodged and we had to knock it around a bit to get the ball unstuck!

Perplexus makes very good products that usually warrant a 5 star review. In this case, it is still fun but this is by far the easiest game they make and the shortest as well. Its alright to pick up and play if you want to kill about 5 minutes. It does get boring much faster than other models. I recommend trying the green version of this model the course is much much better. The green one is a 5 star, but this one is just a bit to basic; but it still looks good.

Plenty of fun and a bit more challenging that it seems. I thought it would be too easy a puzzle, as I'm used to the more complex larger ones, but was pleasantly suprised to find out that's not the case. And it's a great toy to get kids interested in more than just tv and video games lol.

Bought this for a Christmas gift but had to play it a few times all ready before wrapping it up.

Kids enjoyed it but only played with a short time, they love the perplexes balls and usually pick them up daily. This was a good value for the price though.

As always, perplexus is always a guaranteed fun time! Purchased these instead of making junky loot bags - the kids LOVED them. Not too small, not too big, and different ways to play to games.
