Review on πŸ¦– Marble Genius Run Dinosaur Starter Pack: An Incredible Marble Run Adventure by Todd Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fun for adults too

It's a bit difficult for my 5 year old niece who has never played with anything like this but doing it together was fun! I wish there were zip pockets to keep all the pieces inside, but luckily I had extra large zip pockets on hand. We built it in the living room and my relatives were very impressed/entertained about how we built it. The arches are difficult to assemble, but once connected they stay put. Each square tube is like a lego piece that can be torn off and reattached elsewhere. At first she was excited and upset, but I tried to teach her to be patient in general. At this point, she was very excited to throw a handful of marbles into the starter bowl and heat the marbles up to a frenzy (it comes with a bag FULL of little marbles). It gets loud when it rolls through the pipes, but it's very interesting even to me. Creating more complex ones takes a lot of time, but it will definitely be good to use as a reward system. It's not that difficult to build and holds their attention very well, but we'll look at simple and small builds first. Not like the huge one we used to make!

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Like that
