small marble around challenging barriers inside a transparent
sphere. Unlike traditional flat-surface mazes that are composed

Players select which track they would like to attempt, and then
must work with gravity and carefully shift, flip, and twist the
sphere to guide the marble. Players can race each other or the
clock. On top of being entertaining, Perplexus is also an
educational toy, and assists in child development. It is a great
toy for children to exercise their motor and dexterity skills,
as well as improve their hand-eye coordination. Its small size
makes it easily portable. No batteries required. Ages 6 and
above.
