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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice addition to our other marble maze

First off, we’ve had the other version of the marble maze for years - I even had one growing up as a kid in the 80’s!This new version adds more fun to the original, albeit with a couple negatives. The original would contain the marble when it would fall off the obstacles. This new version sends it flying off the sides and therefore makes it easier to lose or otherwise keep track of them. Also, on part of the spiral track, the marble would not stay on no matter how slow or how hard we tried. I ended up having to heat that section (carefully) and bending the track slightly so it would work properly.It’s not as much fun as the original, but it’s still worth picking up. Especially when you want to turn off the screens (TV, phone, etc) for a while!

Pros
  • Teaches teamwork and cooperation
Cons
  • The timer may cause anxiety or stress for some children
