The ultimate 3D puzzle for children plus Mums and Dads too!  Co-invented by a  teacher and sculptor, the perplexus is a 3D labyrinth game inside a transparent plastic sphere. By twisting and turning the sphere players attempt to manoeuvre a small, steel ball through an intricate maze composed of narrow plastic tracks and levers.
Unlike traditional horizontal mazes that are composed of one path, Perplexus houses various challenging tracks with innumerable barriers providing a full three dimensional experience. 

Players select the track they would like to attempt and must work with gravity to carefully shift, flip, and twist the sphere to guide the ball to its destination. Players can race each other or play against the clock. This game assists in child development allowing children to exercise their motor and dexterity skills as well as improve their hand to eye coordination.

It is also easily portable to take round to a friends house and will keep kids (and adults) amused for hours whilst travelling or on holiday. 
Recommended for ages 6 years and upwards.
