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

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.

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

If your kiddo loves minecraft but you don't want them to rot on a game, here's a solution. Great for travel, it lost a star for quality ...we had to fix one of the magnets right upon opening the package

This product has been fun in the car the difficulty levels make it enjoyable for everyone in the family. The cardboard that it is made of is coated and is durable. It is an alternative to electronic gaming.

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.

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.

Bought this for my 12 year old. He loved it so much he played every puzzle in one day. Now his brother is completing them (at a slower rate) and I'll give them a go when he's done. My only complaint would be the gold and iron items can be difficult to tell apart.

My son loves puzzles and he is obsessed with this travel game! He loves Minecraft too, but these puzzles are a little different in their gameplay than the video game. They start out easy, but get a lot more challenging.ThinkFun is a great brand if you like educational games for kids. Homeschooling mama here, so... that's me! We have a number of their products, and I haven't been disappointed with any of them.
