Perplexus... the twisty, twervy maze that you just can't put down!
This is a maze inside a ball in which you try to move a ball thru the maze on the track. Each challenge is more difficult than the one before and there are 100 challenges to the Original Perplexus. This puzzle is able to keep a six year old occupied and intrigue adults as well. We think Perplexus helps to develop eye - hand coordination and also helps youngsters focus. Perplexus is a great game for the car, because it is self contained and portable. You can even make up your own challenges by having one player play for 10 minutes to see how far they can get, then pass the Perplexus to the next player to see how far they can get! Time each other to see who can solve the maze the fastest, For the ultimate challenge, try it blindfolded!

It kinda looks like a brain huh?
It isn't really but it could be if ya wanted it to be but this is actually the brain child of three guys, Michael McGinnis, Dan Klitsner, and Brian Clemens.
You can watch our video demo below!
"Perplexus is a crazy maze enclosed in a transparent plastic sphere. By twisting
and turning the sphere, players attempt to maneuver a small steel ball
through an intricate maze composed of 100 steps along narrow plastic
tracks. Additionally, some of the steps involve dropping the ball into a
cup or through a small rim to take advantage of its three-dimensional
nature. There are obstacles of varying difficulty that must be navigated
in order to reach the end."
That's the official scoop!
looks like rain and snow this weekend! Not a bad thing!
Perplexus... Hours of challenging fun with 3 starting points to work the ball through the maze inside the ball. 100 challenging barriers to conquer by yourself or to have a contest with family and friends to see who can get the farthest or how far you can get in a minute or two. Great for dexterity and hand- eye coordination.
You may recognize this fella! I believe it could be Neil Armstrong or the little alien guy in our front window! At any rate, why not shoot for the moon and be the commander of your own Lunar module or space shuttle? Space exploration works during daylight hours too! Perhaps there could could be some moon dust waiting to be discovered or a moon rock that has never been overturned? If you have a sock monkey, he could even be the co-commander of this big adventure! Launch some excitement and creativity with some dress up play using a cardboard box for a space ship or you could even sit on the floor with your legs on the seat of the sofa to mimic blasting off into space! Mission Control....
