FUN (and frustrated) time guaranteed!
Went for the hardest noVICE box as my first inside3 labyrinth and boy oh boy did I underestimated it! Spent about half a day (on and off) to get the ball to the other side and then back. I'd say if you dedicate your time 100% to it you can solve it in less than an hour. Perfect for quarantine time, or if you want a little challenge. Only complain I have is that the inner layers jiggle a bit in the box. At times it messes up with the tactile feedback you get from the ball - which is what this labyrinth is all about. (or maybe it's a preview to what the phantom series feel like?) Either way I hope the pieces are fitted tighter to minimise interference.

Cheap and cheerful.
The product was nice and compact, colourful and easy to setup.The product felt cheap. When opened, the layers were in 4 sections of loose plastic (the image gave me the impression it was a solid section within the cube that was able to be pulled out for show and to add the ball bearing).Upon setting up said puzzle, I had given the cube a little shake and to my astonishment, the ball bearing was 3/4 of the way complete so perhaps I'd opt for a more difficult cube based on this.This was used as a gift for a puzzle fiend friend, however I was allowed to use/play with the cube for a good while to judge if I would want one for myself.If I did, I would go above Novice level.

Haven’t quite worked it out yet. Must find my specs so I can read the map embossed on the side. A nice little challenge if you have patience. Good quality product and great that you can take it apart if you get stuck.

Good gift
Great Christmas gift however one cube clearly opened and other brand new only blessing was I could copy the new and rebuild the opened one so didn’t have to return as brought two. Otherwise I would of have to look at instructions!

Good as gift
The price is a bit high for what it is, in my opinion, but it was a gift and the recipient loved it.Be careful if opening it, the layers might mix up, although there are numbers so should be ok to reassemble.

Good puzzle for young children.
Good little puzzle.However, too easy for me (being an adult). More suitable for a small child (7 or 8 year old I reckon).I bought to keep on my desk - desk toy.Nicely made. Good quality.Anyway, I do like - just too easy - so I've ordered a more complex one.........hope it's not too complex.
