My son has many of these Think Fun kits. The entire line-up is wonderful and of high quality. They're made to last! This one was one of the more challenging kits, in a good way. It kept my 10 year old engaged and interested as he tried to work his way through the puzzles.Highly recommend.

I have always been a big fan of logic games, but I must admit that this one seem to be a bit complex in terms of learning how to use them. It is certainly not for younger audience as the box suggests that its for 8 and over. When I first opened the box, it felt like solving a puzzle just to set it up. However, once we got the hang of it, the game turned out to be quite an engaging experience.My son was extremely excited from the moment we unboxed the game. He spent several hours playing with it, which is always a good sign. However, it did take us around an hour to figure out how to put it all together and understand how the challenges work. The learning curve might be steep initially, but it's worth the effort.The core concept of guiding marbles through long free falls is both thrilling and challenging. Even when you place the boxes in the right positions, achieving those long free falls can be quite difficult. My little one and I have made it a fun competition. We take turns trying to master those tricky free falls, and the one who succeeds first wins the round. This competitive aspect of the game adds an extra layer of excitement.One thing to keep in mind is that this game demands patience. It's not the type of game you can quickly pick up and master. Instead, it rewards perseverance and critical thinking. The sense of accomplishment when you successfully navigate the marble through a complex path is truly gratifying.In conclusion, the ThinkFun Freefall Logic Freefalling Marble Maze Game is an excellent addition to ThinkFun's lineup of logic games. While it may seem daunting to set up and learn initially, the rewarding gameplay and the sense of achievement it provides make it well worth the investment. If you're willing to invest some time and effort into mastering this game, it can provide hours of fun and mental stimulation for both kids and adults alike.

I am a big fan of thinkfun's logic games. But I have noticed that they are getting increasingly more complex in terms of learning how to even use them. This one in particular, was mind numbing as the various pieces were removed from the box. It felt like a puzzle just trying to get it ready to go.The booklet sort of walks you through a sample setup. But not until you begin playing with the entire thing do you start to realize how each setup needs to be constructed. I certainly can't see an 8 year old taking this out of the box and using it. He/she would have to be a genius. Even after having it explained, there are still many problems and questions that arise. And, the pieces are kind of tough to disassemble and put together. It just seems like too much work to get to the point where the puzzle can be attempted.Once the puzzle is finally set up (hopefully correctly), then the task of manipulating the enclosed marble through the maze begins. It can be a truly dexterous endeavor and became slightly easier after I realized that the clear tubular pieces were funnels that could be added in to facilitate moving the marble through some precarious drops.Usually, I end up working through half the puzzle book on these type of things, but after about 4 of them, I was just both mentally and physically exhausted from pulling pieces apart and snapping them together.It's a valiant attempt at trying to create a novel "game", but there needs to be a shift toward more simple "props". Plus, I am left with a fairly large "monstrosity" of a puzzle frame that I just don't want lying around the house.Do yourself a favor and instead look at some of the older puzzles that Thinkfun has produced. This one does have merit, but the initial learning curve is just too great and I don't see many people having the patience to spend on it.
