We placed the first piece and the last piece and dropped the marble on a test run. She could see where it started and where she wanted it to end up. Then she chose pieces to make the marble travel to the last piece. Good for developing engineering strategies.
The game is set up so that my nephew could figure it out intuitively with minimal guidance.
The game introduces children to fundamental concepts of physics and problem-solving mechanics in a very natural way. A ball rolling down the hill won't suddenly drop down in a straight line or turn on its own, no matter how much you want it to.
The game rules are simple. There is a starting point and an end goal that are placed in a fixed orientation on the grid and a list of which pieces can be used freely to reach that end point. There may be additional fixed pieces on the grid at start, depending on the level.
I pointed out the dots that help indicate orientation of fixed starting pieces, which one was start piece, and which one was the end piece, and my nephew was off on his own in minutes. His experience with Lego model sets made the importance of orienting the starting pieces correctly easy to pick up.
The game gradually introduces levels of complexity: longer paths, double-stacked pieces, free pieces that need to be laid horizontally, solutions requiring the ball to cross back through the same piece multiple times, etc., allowing the learning process to progress intuitively. My nephew needed some encouragement and guidance at some of these progression points, but again, the uptake once he figured it out was both natural and rewarding for him (and me). Conceptually the game is a blast, even for adults.
Like others, I find it extremely regrettable that a game with such well thought out mechanics, has some pretty obvious build quality and design issues. The pieces just don't snap satisfyingly into position, and an excited 6-year old might find himself getting a little frustrated when pieces fall out of place as he frantically rushes towards a solution. Additionally, the dots assisting with orientation are functionally sufficient, but could be more visible, and a side panel on the ramped cells labeled with an arrow indicating direction of the cell's inner path might also decrease the frustration of setting up the board of glaringly bright fluorescent clear plastic pieces, freeing up more time to be spent on the satisfying effort of solving the puzzle. I wouldn't mind paying another 5 to 7 dollars for a set with a more solid and polished feel.
Still, the build is serviceable, and in the end, only a minor nuisance compared to the enjoyability of the puzzles themselves.
The pieces are sturdy and well-made, though I wish there were a few more levels or challenges included. Overall, it’s a fun and educational toy that provides hours of entertainment. A great choice for kids 8 and up!
