An unexpected Christmas hit for a 6 year old boy

Bought for a 6 year old boy who thought it was wild but LOVES it! The cards are designed to grow with the child, making it harder to solve more puzzles as they get older. It's also fun to create your own tracks or figure out why something isn't working perfectly. The best part? He does this alone for hours in the morning.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Perfect gift for a kid who loves to build

Bought this gift for my son who loves to build. He gives this toy 1000 stars and takes great pleasure in solving every problem. As for the reviews where the instructions were difficult to follow, I want to tell you that my son has no problem. I went through the first few builds with him and he's been building on his own ever since. He loves this toy.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Other

Fun puzzle about storage and accessories

Nice game to keep my kids busy. My kids are younger than the age listed on the box but love the idea of following the directions on the card and using their brains. make different drawings and then let the little roller coaster slide down. They also use it as a marble walkway. The benefit of this product over the regular toddler marble run is that it solves problems and teaches kids how to visualize a jigsaw puzzle on paper and turn it into something really fun.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Very addictive building game for kids. Good customer service.

Bought this for my 5 year old. I helped him make the first 2 or 3 and then he proceeded to make the rest himself and happily showed them to me! A problem with our set. One part was warped and we weren't able to do many projects because of it, but my husband contacted the company and they sent a brand new set of coasters, so now we have extra services. We couldn't use the toy much because of the broken part until we got the new ones.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Protection

Sounds funny. But for the most part it wasn't.

Sounds like a fun idea, but it wasn't well designed. First, production problems. Even on a properly constructed slide, the slide sometimes flies off the rails or gets stuck. And they should include a backup stand. If the one they provide flies to an inaccessible place, you're stuck. The colors printed on the cards do not match the actual parts. You can still match them with a little thought, but that's an added complication when a young child has to figure out that the purple in the brochure is

Pros
  • One-year trial
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

All in all a fun game that I would recommend for a younger recommended age.

My 10 year old has been playing with this non stop since we got it. He likes it but I think maybe he's too old for that so I would recommend him a little younger. My son is very good with Lego and creating online games like Roblox and Minecraft so my only issue is that even in higher maps it's too easy for him. Not to mention it's not a challenge but it's not enough for him at his age and on the other hand he plays Lego all the time. So I'm also wondering how many repeats there will be after 40

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • So so

Was something we keep coming back to

I would never order this myself if advertised to me but my son (age 6) got it as part of a Revain STEM subscription. Neither of us were keen on it until it came out (around late December 2019). But as soon as he put the first puzzle together, we were hooked. He asks to complete these tasks at least 2 times a week - which is not typical for him. He almost never asks directly for anything other than food or play at the light switch. We're about to take the final exam. He always seems to feel…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • There are new competitors

Amazing Roller Coaster Builder

They must have fixed the issues with parts being difficult to snap into place and the stand not staying on track that other reviewers write about because it only takes an adult a second or two to put things together and lock everything except has On some tracks that use magenta elements, the stand stays on the track. I will say that breaking the pieces open is probably difficult for most 6 and 7 year olds so will probably be quite frustrating for them to try all by themselves. The logic used in

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Updates

Great game for future engineers or architects

We bought this game for our 5 year old son although the recommended age is 6+. After opening it for Christmas, he was eager to play with it. He and I sat down and looked over the instructions, how everything worked and what each symbol on the sample cards meant. Gradually he began to understand the symbolism and really wanted to start. The maps included in the game show how to START setting each slide, but not how to finish it. This is where the child's logic should kick in. Each puzzle card…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine
