My 7 yr old grandson loves building things, games, puzzles, and especially following mazes. He truly loves a challenge. As soon as I saw this I knew it ticked all the boxes. It is a gift for Christmas so I haven't seen it in use yet, but it looks like it will be sturdy and long lasting. It arrived well packed in an attractive box. Lots of challenges that vary in difficulty. I know our grandson will be enthralled, and he'll construct it again and again.

I had some doubts that my 5 year old could do this, but if your kid can handle following general Lego style instructions they will do great with this game solo. but it's also a fantastic parent - child activity too. The game seems to really help develop spatial awareness, general instruction following, and fosters creativity when it asks the player to build their own mazes based on certain criteria. and then once they've kind of "graduated" from this game they can move up to the other gravity maze game that's made by the same people for more of a challenge.

This game is great because all 3 of my kids enjoy it. It's something that they can do independently, they choose their own maze to attempt and sometimes they have to try one a few times before they get it right. But seeing them figure it out and make it work, they have the biggest smiles! I also like this game because they are sometimes tempted to give up on a difficult maze but they know that if they can figure it out, they'll be proud of themselves.

This game was purchased for my rambunctious 4 year old. She enjoyed the challenge of working thru the game play cards that are neatly clipped together. She especially enjoyed the build your own maze cards built-in to the stack. If you're looking for a independent game for kids-this is it! My kid felt like such a big kid with this game!
