My child received this toy as a present. I was overjoyed because I remembered playing happily with the standard-size set when I was little. But when we tried to play this travel-sized one, I realized that the game was very difficult to play because the pieces were too small. One needs super coordination to fit such complicated and small shapes into the holes - which neither me nor my 5-year-old have! So I gave this travel-sized perfection set away and bought the standard size one for my child. She enjoys it (especially fitting all of the pieces into the holes, then setting the timer and watching the pieces go up - it's nice to know that she can "grow" into the toy!), and I am happy with the new purchase. Moral: DON'T buy the travel-sized one. DO buy the standard-sized one.

This product is basically a smaller version of the full size game. The only complaint I have about it is that the game pieces barely fit into the storage drawer. I struggle each time I put them away.

This smaller version is cheaply made...the tray that pops doesn't work properly and it doesn't always "pop" when the time is up. In the side of the game there is a slide out drawer that holds the pieces when not being used. I got all of the 16 pieces in after a lot of jiggling and positioning, then when we tried to open the tray up, it was jammed. My husband had to unscrew the body of the game in order to open up the drawer. The game pieces are very small and it takes a lot of thumb/index finger coordination to insert them into the tray of the game. Overall, not worth the money.

Game is smaller than expected - good for travel size I suppose. The timer in no way gives you enough time to complete by yourself. Not a bad time killer though.

This travel version is great for smaller kids since it has less shapes to match. My two and four year old love it.

...if it worked. anyway, this was a request from my niece for her 8th birthday. it also isn't the first one either, she lost the old one i think. anyway, the packaging seemed like it was in good shape, but when we opened it, it was not working. we tried and tried, and it was apparently Dead on Arrival. i thought about returning it, but seems like a bigger hassle than to just buy a new one. if you buy this, i hope it works for you!

When i was a kid i loved this game...so i got it for my daughter for christmas. We ripped the box open and got all the peices out and turned the timer on and NOTHING. This game didn't work, the timer wouldn't tick it wouldn't pop back up...i was disapointed!

Same comments as the rest. My kids got this as a present:

*pieces barely fit into the storage drawer. So annoying!!!
*timer in NO WAY gives you enough time to complete by yourself.

We returned it after having it open only for one day. Looking forward to finding the original. Dont buy this. Its NOT "Fun" and the only "On the Run" you have is running it back to the store to return it.

16 pieces, and only 30 seconds. Unless you are some sort of shape-sorting and placing savant, this game will just frustrate you. I bought it for my 5yr twins, but what's the point of playing with a toy that virtually guarantees failure? Spend your money on the Perplexus Maze, instead. Much, much more fun!

I would have given this a 5 star rating but I thought I purchased the bigger one, not the travel one. My kids, age 3 and 5, both have a lot of fun trying to get the shapes in before the timer goes off. A good purchase!
