Received all four puzzle as a Christmas gift and have just completed the simplest one—level one. My seven-year-old granddaughter painted the pieces and chose the six color option. She was amazed when we assembled it and each face was a particular color—very cool. My only disappointment was when my four year-old and seven-year-old tried to play the puzzle it fell on the rug and all six plastic panels separated. I think I’m going to have to put a spot of glue on all of the pieces except for one so I can get inside if necessary. The assembly was a breeze since I’ve done a number of marble runs, including the galaxy marble run, which is probably one of the harder ones made— looking forward to constructing the next three!!
I finished the entire wooden puzzle (not easy - had to superglue some pieces in place that kept falling out). go to put the clear box together & the pieces all broke. they didn't fit into eachother well at all, & would crack & snap when trying to push them in place. puzzle isn't usable without the box, so it all went in the trash.
Recepient has several projects he is working on, but is anxious to start this and others from you.
My grandson, recepient, is looking forward to start this project after he completeds others already in works.
I really enjoy assembly projects, and this one was simply amazing. Although I did have a few hiccups along the way, the assembly instructions were easy enough to follow. It was sometimes a challenge to get some of the pieces to engage properly and they didn't always "click" into place, but I managed to complete the project successfully. I wanted to keep going but restricted myself to 2 to 3 pages per day.
I had to marvel at the genius and precision of the maze design and how the pieces were laid out on each board. I love the smell of the baltic birch wood.
I have to admit, it was easier to assemble this maze than to work it. I try it out every day and am gradually getting better at navigating that small black ball!
When not in use, it sits atop my file cabinet where it draws the attention of curious onlookers.
I really enjoyed assembling this maze and look forward to purchasing a different one!
This was the first Intrism kit that did what it was supposed to do. Every piece (except for two) snapped into place, and those two only required minor sanding. I really enjoyed this project. My other two kits (Pro and Level One required almost every piece to be sanded. I was able to complete Level One, but gave up on the Pro (it was my first project).) I hope my next project if I buy one goes as good as the Icon did.
I purchased this as a gift for a friend that loves to do puzzles. He enjoyed the challenge of putting it together and then found the 3d maze to be challenging but rewards.
