Fun game, poor quality

This is such a fun game that kids of all ages will enjoy. It comes with foam mats that you lay out on the floor. We play it in the middle playroom. Suitable for both a small apartment and a large room. This is something like a combination of classic "hot lava" and music chairs. A player (or an adult) spins the spinner and players must quickly move onto the mat of that color without touching the ground. The last player to reach their new mat removes the mat they immediately came from. Some mats have a question mark, and players who land on such a mat complete a challenge map (e.g. waddle like a penguin or pretend to lift weights). This is a great way to get kids moving indoors and would be a great purchase for cold winters who are stuck indoors with active kids. We actually bought this for my 3 year old so we adjusted it a bit to suit his age without removing the mats along the way. He loves challenge cards! This would be a great game for the classroom or to use at a party - it can work with a large group of children. However, the quality is quite low. I was hoping the mats would be thick and non-slip, but this is the same styrofoam you can buy at an art supply store. The spinner needs to be assembled, and both the spinner and the task cards are a bit flimsy. So far it's holding up, but I'm not sure the game will last forever. The price seems a bit high considering the quality of the material.
