I got this for my gifted classroom. Under my supervision and with students working in small groups, we've already broken two pieces. We have another Q-BA-MAZE set and have never had any problems with it. For whatever reason, these pieces seem to be more fragile if accidentally dropped.

The 8 year old recipient and his 5 year old brother played with nothing else for 2 days while putting the maze together. They both are already making plans for additional sets.

The Q-BA marble maze sets are awesome. Fun and creative construction for both my 5 and 8 year old and fun or adults as well for quality time creating new mazes as parent and child together.

My 6 and 7 year old cannot even begin to put this together. This toy should say age 9 and up. My kids love legos and follow the instructions and put those together with no problem. The week instruction booklet makes it hard for even an adult to follow. Also, this needs to be put together on a hard stable surface. I question how this toy can be an award winner. If your child is under 9 I would not recommend buying this toy.
No, I do not recommend this product.

The large set was purchased as a Christmas present and it has met and exceeded all expectations. My 7 year old grandson loves it!

Easy to assemble in multiple configurations that represent a challenge to the budding engineer to get the pinballs to do what you need. MEGA package is quite sufficient. Grandson and Granddaughter spent hours playing with it Christmas Day.

Love it! It has entertained both boys for extended periods of time. The younger one can't build it to it's full functionality without our help, but loves having us help him and adding his own creative parts. Good quality and great fun.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought the Q-BA-MAZE Mega Stunt Set & Starter Stunt Set with FREE Cascading Marble Refill for two sets of grandchildren ages 4-10, both male and female. They all LOVED it and it provided hours of FUN over winter break! Thank you!
