Hard to build an find the instructions like I couldn’t find my instructions for it but. It’s fun but I can’t understand how to build it like I need internet instructions to the thing it’s so hard to build but it’s fun though so i’ll advance to the next level and get the ultimate version of Q-ba maze like I need a refill of marbles in my set of q-ba maze parts but I want to find the instructions and get it together so I don’t need to get another set of q-ba maze parts well I’ll still be able to build contraptions with the Pivot Trampoline and more so that’s my review!!!

My 3, just turned 4 at the end of January year old, loves these! He loves following the plans and can build nearly all of them by himself! It was initially intimidating to start but once we started to understand how they worked it has been awesome! It is helpful to separate all the parts into categories. Bottom exits, Single exits and double exits. Makes it so much easier! Now we are wishing there were more plans! :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

Once you have the hang of putting it together, it is a lot of fun. Sort of a "Lego" set for marbles. My only complaint is that the directions need improvement. A further word of explanation in a couple of places would be helpful. Pictures are not as clear as they ought to be as well. Would rate product with 5 stars if it were not for the instructions.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The instructions are very hard to follow. The pieces don’t stay together well and it take a long time to assemble IF you can follow the poorly displayed images. Don’t waste your time on this for the money!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi Bud, it sounds like you may be connecting the cubes incorrectly. It's quite simple and sturdy once you have the right technique! Side to side connections should only be made by sliding the lip of a side exit over the curve of the adjoining piece, creating a step effect. To connect cubes top to bottom, insert the four bottom pegs down into the top four corners of the bottom piece. We do have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, so if you still don't love it we can help you with a return. A customer service team member will be reaching out directly.

I'll be returning the Q-BA-MAZE 2.0. 3 adults worked 3 hours to put it together. Step 1 has a yellow bottom at the base. Where is the marble to go from this block? Need 2 hands to hold it together while 2 hands are trying to follow the steps. Plugging the hose in on step 5, it falls over. Very difficult to follow the shades if gray for proper placement always ended up with 1 less green cube and extra cubes Every time at step 16 should only have 3 magenta cubesleft. No way!.and still never able to

it sounds like you( this company) are defending a very poorly designed instruction set. it has nothing to do with sliding it in the right paces - it has to do with little to no detail of where to start to make sure your doing it in the configuration provided in the instructions. there are no reference points anywhere as in - having the base numbered to make sure you are starting with the correct pieces- etc. get the idea now

Given to 3rd and 6th grade girls for Christmas and the whole family enjoyed for 3 hours! The best part was figuring out how to make the trampoline fit into the structure. The most difficult part was creating good base. I don't want to cheat, but a nice additive would be to have 6 to 8 pieces that are very large and could stabilize the bottom. Overall, this is a wonderful gift for a large age group when you have at least an hour to pull it out and work with it. We don't have the room to keep it up, so had to take videos and then take it down, but GREAT memories!!!

I bought several different size Q-Ba-Maze boxes for our 6 year old grandson. He is loving building the mazes and pouring balls down to see how they go this way and that. It is his favorite toy ever. He has to stand on a stool to put the balls in, his tower is so tall. If you buy a box without the ball catchers included, be sure to buy the separate small 4 piece ball catcher box, otherwise there will be balls rolling everywhere. His younger brother 4 1/2 is liking it, but not ready for the complications in the building.

We purchased this for our 7 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves to build and design things so we thought it would be a good fit! She absolutely LOVES playing with this! I am going to purchase some more sets to go with it because she is hooked. My 16 and 14 year old also like to sit down with her and build (and my husband enjoys it as well). It has been a great family project!
