ThinkFun Minecraft Magnetic Travel Puzzle Logic Game & STEM Toy For Kids Ages 8 & Up

My son loves this! We use the magnets on the fridge as well.

My eight year old son loved this! He likes using it to invent his own games! The magnetic pieces are great for keeping everything together so that he doesn’t lose anything.

Each puzzle seems to have its own "trick" you need to learn to solve it. Rather than building up a set of skills that my 7-year-old son develops through progressing through easier puzzles, this requires novel thinking for each puzzle. That's not a bad thing I guess, but it made for a more frustrating learning curve than with other puzzle games my son enjoyed more. Quality and presentation of the set is good, and he appreciated the Minecraft theme and tie-in. Perhaps he'll like it more in a year or two.

Love this for road trips! Small magnetic pieces though, keep away from little kids

really fun, probably needs to be played with by someone who understands puzzles, my 8 year old had some difficulty learning.

The difficulty of puzzles is pretty good for a younger child through teenager. Easy to learn, the beginner puzzles are very simple, good for a young child. The expert puzzles are much more difficult, good for a patient teen and up. The quality of the puzzle book and pieces (other than the color..) is excellent. Glossy, thick, the magnetic pieces stay attached very well (actually great for travel). Fun puzzle, with a big caveat: you're going to hate it if you're colorblind.It's pretty much unplayable if you're colorblind. My husband and son are, with different types of colorblindness, and they really struggled with diamond and iron colors, both with pieces and with clues. To make the puzzle usable for my family, I had to go through and put distinct nail polish markers on all the diamond and iron pieces, as well as the gold pickaxe.Protan colorblindness makes the puzzle actually unplayable: can't tell the difference between diamond and iron at all except for the swords, can't use the clues unless the iron and diamond boxes are right next to each other.Deutan makes it very difficult, bordering on unplayable: can kind of tell the difference between the two colors, but inconsistently. At least you can sort of get to the point of thinking all the clues line up and you solved a puzzle, as long as a color-seeing person doesn't come to burst your bubble. Sucks extra much for a younger child.A very significant portion of the XY chromosome folks on our planet are colorblind. I wish that in this day and age this would be more of a consideration.

Great for travel. My grandson loved it

Great car and restaurant toy for smart little Minecraft fans.
