Review on 🏰 Hape Castle Escape: Engaging Development Construction Set for Kids by John Shorter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It falls apart too easily.

I was happy to buy this as it is so beautiful. However, the design is poor. The pieces do not fit together well enough for children to play with. Any light, light swipe or touch will send everything down. Even my 7 year old finds it frustrating to play with - all the work involved with it breaking down at the slightest touch. It's like the kids didn't play with it when they made the design. I wish my ugly plastic marble wouldn't move because at least it held up much better. It seems that solving this problem and even selling aftermarket kits to improve stability will not be difficult. If it hadn't been for them I wouldn't have bought it for the kids.

Pros
  • Hard wearing finish
Cons
  • Damaged
