ThinkFun Minecraft Magnetic Travel Puzzle

Wonderful activity for restaurants. We take this out it eat with us all the time and it is a great screen free activity to keep my son occupied and engaged while out to eat. It is easy and first and then gets more difficult which is great to challenge him.

This is such a great puzzle for 8+ kids and even adults! It's so thought provoking. There are different levels from easy to advanced, and even though you've done all the puzzles, when you go back you don't remember all the answers, so it's not like once you've completed the puzzles, you're done and will never use it again. We've had this for almost 3 years now and we still go back and try to figure out the puzzles, and still get stumped!Great to take on travel because it's magnetic. My son & I enjoy sitting down together and working out the answers. The other thing is there is an answer key in the back, so you can always check your answers too!If your kid (or you!) loves working out puzzles and problem solving, they will love this - get it! And you don't need to know anything about Minecraft to do so.

I purchased this book for my grandson’s 8th birthday. He was thrilled when he received the book and immediately started playing with it. There are different levels of the game within the book which allows different players the ability to participate. My grandson has been able to play with his dad and younger sibling.Definitely consider purchasing this for your child as an alternate game to play when you don’t want them on their gadgets.

Great car and restaurant toy for smart little Minecraft fans.

Grandson loves this! Can travel with it so it makes long car or airplane trips interesting if he gets restless. Love that the puzzles get harder and harder the further you go. He loves that part too as he always loves a good challenge and anything Mine Craft.

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.

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

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.
