Review on Timed Marble Maze Game For Kids: TOMY Screwball Scramble 2 – Cooperative Family Board Game For Game Night – Recommended For Ages 5+ by Mark Harrison

Would not recommend for children. It's more frustrating than satisfying because of the construction of the gameboard. You have to punch/twist/maneuver the knobs and buttons juuuust right to get it to the next step. Even as an adult, after trying for a good half hour I was making no clear progress, and I'm fairly good with my fine motor skills 😂. It would take literally hours and hours of practice to even get to the end (and I think unless you spent your life doing it, you could never beat the timer), but what's more, most of the time you have to tilt the whole gameboard just right in order to even complete one little section. Which tells me its construction is poor. Not sure why it's listed as an Best Buy favorite honestly. My 4 year old is fine playing this game, but only because she doesn't care if she beats it or not, she just has fun flinging the marble off the gameboard. It may be good for a teenager but I wouldn't recommend for kids. My 7 year old gets tired of trying to play the game because she doesn't like cheating by using her hand to guide the marble or by tilting the board. And she has really great fine motor skills for her age.
