Perplexus Review

I'm a HUGE fan of brain teasers and mind benders. 
When someone puts one of those little metal puzzles in front of me I can't put it down until I figure it out!
 I get hooked and I get hooked bad!
I was recently introduced to the most amazing puzzle ever!
It is called Perplexus.  This is not your everyday puzzle.
This is a labyrinth of twisty, turny, crazy rolling ball action.


This small plastic ball has one small silver ball inside, along with a maze of different obstacles to make your way to the end.   It twists and turns and flips and falls.
I know it sounds like I am writing an ad for Perplexus and not doing a review but I can't think of a better way to describe it.  I can't put it down!  I spent about an hour the other night playing with it when everyone else was sleeping.  
I have had it now for a little over a week and have yet to get through all 100 obstacles.  
The bright colors are great and it will definately give even a 6 year old hours of fun!
My 6 year old loves to see how far he can get.  



The only thing I would change about the Perplexus orginal is that some of the numbers that help to keep you on track and make sure you are heading in the right direction (sometimes that is half the battle) are the same color as the plastic that they are laying on and if you get even a slight glare on your ball they are really hard to read.
