My Family's Experience With the Perplexus

My family received both the Perplexus Original as well as the Perplexus Epic for Christmas last year. Everyone in the family absolutely loves the Perplexus!!! My son has mastered the Original, and is now on to working on the Epic. The rest of us are at varying stages on the Perplexus Original.

It's a 3D maze in which you must shift, flip, and twist a transparent sphere in order to maneuver the small marble inside it along tracks and around challenging barriers!

Race your friends, the clock, and even yourself as you try to master the movements of the marble! So how do you play? Just flip, twist, and spin the Perplexus Original Maze Puzzle to move the marble along the tracks through the maze! Just when you get used to one track in the maze, you come to a barrier, requiring you to use your spatial and cognitive reasoning skills to keep the marble running! The Perplexus Original Maze Puzzle has 3 different starting points, and includes a tightrope, a swing arm, and a super spiral! There are 100 barriers to conquer along the way! Some are fairly easy while others are quite challenging!

Ages: Six years and up. Yes, adults too!!The Perplexus Marble Maze puzzle is NOT too easy for adults! Believe me; this puzzle is every bit as challenging for adults as it is for youth! The adults at our house love it!

It's like leveling up on a 3D video game!

Perplexus Epic

Perplexus Twist! - New!

Perplexus Twist is similar to the other perplexus brain teasers, but with a twist! Literally! The two halves of the Perplexus Twist can twist!.

To play, move the sphere in your hands to roll the marble around. You want to maneuver the ball from one of the three starting points, along the tracks, past the challenges and obstacles, to the ending point. You can twist the two sides of the sphere to realign the tracks and create new paths when you run into obstacles. You are in control of the way the tracks are aligned! If you don't like the path you're on, change it!
