The only problem that I had with this toy (which we bought for our son) is that it is constructed of much cheaper and thinner wood than a similar one I had as a child. The bottom of the labyrinth and one support had fallen out and broken during shipping - although it was an easy fix (it is difficult to have a child open a box and find a broken toy), I was disappointed in the quality.

I was really looking forward to playing this with my boys. They love mazes and puzzles. Unfortunately, the side knob which controls the front to back movements of the marble had a bent rod which greatly hindered our ability to control the marble. So we are returning this for a refund. I just don't trust that another one will arrive in any better condition. The construction on the whole is merely so-so. They really cut corners here. Lastly the marbles are very small, easily lost or a choking hazard for younger siblings. All things considered this was a very disappointing purchase.

I have played three labyrinth games in my life, and this was by far the cheapest manufacturing. However, the game play is extremely similar. The wood is rather thin and weak, but again the game play is definitely effective. The controls are a bit sluggish compared to the others I have played, but the game is still easy enough to beat. This toy can occupy hours of mindless, yet challenging fun for adults, while providing an impressive skillful test that would improve acute hand-eye coordination for any child.

Not the same toy we all played with as kids. The board is so poorly constructed that the ball gets stuck. You spend half you time trying to free the ball loose instead of working it through the maze. I wish someone made a good quality version of this toy. It was a lot of fun.

Well, live and learn.

My husband and I deliberately spent a higher price than most of the others advertised, as we were looking for high quality. (Nothing more frustrating than a labyrinth that doesn't work properly!) However, when we received the labyrinth it was immediately clear that the construction was shoddy, and that the frustration the game would cause would make the product neither educational nor fun. In addition - the picture on the web, as well as the one on the box that it came in, showed 60 holes, whereas this one has only 36.

Not a way to enhance Christmas morning.

This product is not even close to the one you'll recall as a child...When I opened it I noticed it was half the size and may have well been made from balsam wood. The walls on the face look they were made by a child for a school project and glued with elmers glue. The marbles are small and dont exit the return hole without being shaken for several moments.
Very disappointed.

This toy was very poorly made and they sent me two when I requested one and extra set of marbles.

I got this for my son as I derived so much pleasure from it as a child. I was very disappointed with it indeed. This is not the Labyrinth of old - it is too flimsy and just does not work properly for that reason. I returned this and got the BRIO Labyrinth - more expensive, but it works and is exactly like the original, made by the original manufacturer - BRIO - now more famous for the wonderful and durable wooden trains. Avoid this - get the original!

I am 14.My friend bought me this toy for my birthday when I was 7.I thought it was great until my grandma gave me a similar toy that she has had since my mom was a child.It is called Space Tilt.I discovered that it was much better built than the one my friend had given me.It had thick would,heavy duty metal,and the dividers were nailed on instead of glued on.Labyrinth is made out of thin,cheap would and is glued together.I do not recommend buying this.I recommend mouse trap,tomy screwball scramble,or space tilt.I hope this review helped you.I hope you have a delightful time playing whatever game you choose! (:

The picture online shows a replica of the classic 60 hole maze. When the box arrived I knew immediately something was wrong. The box was too small and light. On the cover of the box was the same picture as on the internet. But inside the box was a very different product: a very flimsy scaled-down version of the classic with a tiny steel ball and only a 36 hole course. The ball is too small and light weight to have the steady action of the original and the 36 hole layout is a joke. I guess you need to spend a few more dollars to get something more akin to the real thing.
