Puzzling A Last Minute Gift? Put A Spin On Their Holiday With Perplexus #Giveaway

Looking for a great last minute family gift?

Have you  been searching for a fun activity to help bring everyone together in a fun and challenging way during family time?




Award winning PlaSmartToys, the makers of the Plasma Car, offer a fantastic family maze game that is sure to leave your family challenge, as well as entertained.  With different maze games for varying levels of difficulty, the Perplexus is an excellent choice for this holiday season, any gift giving occasion or just because.

Inspired by 3D design teacher, Michael McGuiness, Perplexus has undergone decades of development, from  its origin as a 3D art project to realization and  introduction at the 2009 New York Fair by PlaSmart, in conjunction with Busy Life, LLC.

Original Perplexus

What On Earth Is Perplexus?

PERPLEXUS is a maze game where players maneuver a small marble around challenging barriers inside a transparent sphere. Unlike traditional flat-surface mazes that are composed of one path, PERPLEXUS houses various challenging tracks with 100 barriers providing a frustrating 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 marble. Players can race each other or the clock.

Perplexus Rookie

Plasmart Toys offers three levels of Perplexus fun:

The Original, shown above, is eight inches in diameter, is rated for ages six and up, with a challenging track length of twenty three feet! Difficulty level rating of the Original Perplexus is six..

The Rookie, shown on right, is rated for ages four and up, is seven inches in diameter, has 70 challenging barriers, with a difficulty rating of three.




For the ultimate family challenge, daring Perplexus masters will want to tackle the Perplexus Epic, shown below.    With a diameter of 8.5 inches, 125 challenge barriers, this ultimate Perplexus puzzle has a difficulty rating of 8 and is suggested for ages eight and up.

Perplexus Epic

PERPLEXUS assists in child development allowing 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.

View From The Crew

My family put the Original Perplexus to the test and we are hooked!  As a group, we are enjoying exploring the challenge barriers, encouraging each other on to new levels of accomplishment, as well as enjoying spending fun time together.  While its all in good fun, admittedly, there is a bit of a competition going on among the crew, with my 10 yr old son well in the lead!  As we experiment and improve our techniques, sharing in each others accomplishments, as well as minor setbacks, each member of the crew is looking forward to mastering the Original Perplexus and moving on to the increased challenge of the Epic Perplexus!
