Not bad, just not a "hit."
PostedFebruary 9, 2019

Reviewing As:Grandparent
Not bad, just not a hit for all 4 children ranging from ages 5-13. Most likely, because there weren't enough blocks with which to do anything in the small set. For the price, I don't think that there is enough interest in them to warrant buying more. .. If they were less expensive, I'd buy more sets to see if that was the issue, but for now, I've decided not to invest since they show no interest in getting them out of the box, but will play with other marble toys which I've purchased in the past.

    Not for a six year old

    I purchased this for my six and seven year old grand sons who are building pros. The instructions for this toy are impossible. They’re trying for a top down view of the project but don’t succeed. I spent hours trying to help them but will have to resume tomorrow. This would be a great game if we could figure it out. For heavens sake FIX THE INSTRUCTIONS.
    No, I do not recommend this product.

    The children enjoy building with the blocks as well as using it for a marble ramp.

      Fun toy

      This a fun toy. My 10 year old loves building with this toy. I would not recommend this to a home of toddlers. The marbles are small and rarely land in the marble catcher like they're supposed to. We find them all over.
      Yes, I recommend this product.

        Nice toy, but horrible instructions - bring back the plans!

        I'm torn on this. The toy is great, and once a kid gets familiar with it enough to free play they will likely enjoy it.
        However, the instructions are useless and there are no plans for most of the designs shown on the box or in the instruction book.
        And don't buy Mindware's recent response to someone else's post. The site with the plans they mention only has four plans per product. There used to be lots more before Mindware ruined things.

        These instructions are still terrible. Just received this as a gift for our almost 6 and 8 year olds and the instructions are worthless. Would return if I could.

        Got it for Christmas and having fun with it but I can't seem to find the instructions for the parrot for the big set. Any idea where I can find it? The picture of the parrot is on the box and advertisements.

        We are having a great time with this toy - we bought two, and make great structures. However, I wish there were more plans for making some of the structures we saw on the box. There currently are only four on the website; I get the impression that there used to be more and that users could submit ideas. It's a great toy to play free-form, but sometimes, we want to see what it's like to build already-tested structures. All that said - we would definitely buy again and recommend to others.

        Great product, Terrible Instructions

        This is a great product, however the instructions for building actual designs is terrible. I recommend taking a page out of LEGO's book and get a clue as to how to put instructions together.
        For example, each color comes with 3 different cube designs, however it does not note when to use which design. This is frustrating, especially for kids.
        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Sorry you're having trouble with the plans provided in the box. We have designed a brand NEW format for our plans. You can find these by visiting mindware.com/s3-q-ba-maze-plans.fltr. We're confident you'll find these new plans to be more enjoyable!
