⚡️ Enhanced Search-Optimized ThinkFun Electric Circuit Logic: Current Review

I was so excited to find this unusual, fascinating, non-computer gift for my grandson. His father teaches him electricity and mechanics so I thought this would be the perfect test for him. I even assumed I would buy one for myself to learn about the systems as well. Apparently the gift was shelved due to his fascination with new computer games, which he received. It took too long to get feedback on an issue with circuit parts not fitting together properly. I hope our problem doesn't reoccur in…

Gave this to my son for Christmas. We tried it out together and I was shocked at the lack of tolerance in the pieces. If you don't make the connections properly, the whole puzzle won't work. It turns what would otherwise be a fun logic puzzle into a tedious exercise in frustration because you may not be wrong with your solution, just misplaced the pieces. Speaking of fit - pieces don't fit properly into the grid unless adjacent pieces pop out. I expected a better product than this. If I (an…

I just completed all 60 tasks. I've also played many other ThinkFun Logic games. This one's pretty good. It's fun when you've knocked over all the dominoes and everything works as expected. The last tasks were difficult. Some of the minor issues were the long time it took to set up just one of the attempts, only to find you had to re-align and take it back down. Especially if you need to use the top level. Also, later attempts use certain rules that set them. The spinner can hit the target, but

Good idea that needs some reworking during production. The square pieces should snap onto the board and form a chain. Sometimes they snap in easily, sometimes with difficulty, often you snap in and the part next to it breaks out. Even when they all appear to be there, you often have to slide them together to connect. The lining of the box also needs improvement: it keeps the parts neatly in place, but holds them so tight that it's almost impossible to get them out. You really have to pull out…

Bought for my 10 year old son. Judging by the description it looked like a solid product. However, after trying to put the first few "circuits" together, we found that they didn't work. First I had to make sure the (+) and (-) on each part were correct. didn't work then. He pressed harder on the blocks and the light came on. That's when I noticed that the contact points between the blocks weren't making good contact at all. In addition to issues with the blocks themselves, some are misplaced…

I tested it before giving it away and it worked great. I had an unused small drawstring bag for brewing loose tea which I placed on top of the main bag after installing the batteries. Other reviews state that a circuit accidentally formed in storage can drain your batteries. So you should actually include a bag/box to isolate the power supply. Replacing the batteries is a bit of a hassle (you'll need a screwdriver) so it's not worth risking the batteries dying. The game itself seems quite…
