Labyrinth | Games

Steady hands wanted. fischertechnik's Labyrinth is a ball maze that a seven-year-old builds from 61 parts and then plays, tilting and turning to guide a steel ball through the course without losing it.

Play it alone against the clock or in a team, taking turns at the controls. The obstacles are tricky enough to keep older children honest, and because the maze is built from system parts, the layout can be changed to make it harder or easier.

The building teaches plan-reading and precision, and the playing is pure concentration and fine motor control, with the quiet satisfaction of a run completed without a slip.

Suitable from 7 years. A good game for one child as well as two, and a neat gift for a patient builder.
