Perplexus Epic By Nicky
I loved the original Perplexus so I couldn't wait for Perplexus Epic to come out. I bought Epic at a retail store and I can tell you the guy who invented this thing must be an evil genius! You could speed through the Original Perplexus once knew what you were doing. With Epic, you have to finesse the ball different ways in different areas or that thing is going off the track.Cool new obstacles. One looks like stairs out of an Escher painting. If you loved Original Perplexus you have got to try EPIC!

Love it By MrMan (Alaska)
I have so much fun with this but I have to wait til the kids go to sleep so it can have my full attention. I admit though I have to put it down after 10 or 15 minutes because I dont think its flimsyness could take even a gentle wall smashing!

Interesting Toy By Richie
Luckily I got my Perplexus Epic in one piece. The plastic components look fragile and you dont want to drop it on the floor. The Perplexus Epic is a very hard game even for an adult. There is hardly an easy obstacle. Even at level one it begins at a high level of difficulty. Although i have reached level 25 which took me two days, I probably should have gotten the Perplexus original first. I like the 3-D maze concept. Each obstacle is used twice as it can be flipped over to create a new path - ingenious. A little trick I discovered. You can use a magnet to position the ball in some instances. As some obstacles are extremely hard, like trying to balance on a tightrope.

Amusing toy By Tanis
This is an addicting toy. Would be a great toy for mature children. I love that it's easy enough to play when you first pick it up, but it has some steps challenging enough to make you feel stupid. Worth the money. This toy seems durable, considering its nature; however, it's not something I would give to a child that would abuse it or break it.

Great puzzle By G. Walker (Canada)
Wow, this puzzle is so much fun (I'm 21)! I was worried it'd arrive damaged like others had experienced, but it was packaged well and arrived in one piece! I think I've gotten up into the 50s, 60s but it goes up to 120 or something! Makes a great display piece since it comes with a stand, I have mine fully visible on a shelf. There is a bucket step that slides around that I've been worried about breaking because it slides back and forth as you go through all the other steps, but it hasn't broken yet. Definitely not something for a small child; A responsible adolescent most likely.

Great fun for all age By frugalm0m (Swarthmore, PA)
My 12 year old had mastered the other two Perplexus balls, so we game him the Epic. He loves it! In fact, everyone in the family (14 years old, 5 years old and adults) are intrigued with the Epic. It's hard to get anyone to put it down!

Love this! Addicted By Tracy
We are perplexed by the negative reviews. We have the Epic. Someone bought it for my son for his birthday. He had never heard of it but he really loves it! I have played with it for hours too! It has 3 practice tracks plus the main track. This gives you 4 different starting points so it doesn't get boring. We've also found a few of our own. So far we've both gotten it into the 43 bucket on Practice A. We thought that was the end but we figured out you can flip it over and keep going. Practice B is more challenging. We didn't think we could get past the stairs but my son did! Practice C is even harder. On the main track we've gotten to 26. We have no reason to believe that we will not eventually beat this thing! It sure is fun trying!
