What is Perplexus?

Good question. It's a three-dimensional maze puzzle, a labyrinthine obstacle challenge, a sort of marble run in a sphere.

You position a metal ball at the start area, then steer it along a numbered track by rotating the globe in any way necessary to keep the ball on course. You will need to flip, spin, twist, and turn through 360 degrees to reach the finish line. If the ball drops out of play, you need to head back and start again.

Spin Master, who has acquired Perplexus, says it is easy to play, hard to master!

Perplexus 3D maze puzzles are a lot of fun but probably more suitable for older kids than the ages recommended. Spin Master suggests an age range of eight years and up, but some eight-year-olds might struggle to finish the game.

There are three games of increasing difficulty, plus a compact travel version, a special Harry Potter sphere, and a motorized disc maze.
