ORBITAL MAZE

Ages 8+ years – with help / Ages 12+ years – I got this!

Build a spinning labyrinth game!

Embark on a hands-on, space-themed adventure with this mind-bending, 3-dimensional Orbital Maze from Thames & Kosmos that you build yourself! Engineer a gravity-driven labyrinth that doubles as a pretend spacecraft control system. Your mission? To successfully guide a small marble through the system’s tubes from start to finish, navigating obstacles along the way.

Construct 3 unique modules that click into the maze’s spherical base, and use the 2 handles with thumb wheels to rotate and tilt the maze across multiple axes. A launcher sends your marble into “orbit,” and then you must carefully maneuver your maze to steer the marble through the course. Reach the maze’s finish — the spacecraft’s “Mission Capsule” — to succeed. But watch out: if it falls to the bottom of the maze instead, you’ll have to reattempt your mission. Swap out the modules to introduce new challenges.

As you build, play and experiment, you’ll explore gravity, motion and balance, while sharpening spatial thinking skills, hand-eye coordination and dexterity. The different modules offer varying levels of difficulty, making this one-of-a-kind maze fun for kids and adults of all ages! Easy to play, but difficult to master; once you pick it up, you’ll want to see this mission through.

Features:

• A build-it-yourself 3D maze with a unique theme, inspired by spacecraft control systems
• Assemble individual modules that swap in and out of the maze’s spherical base for ultimate versatility and dynamic gameplay.
• Activate the maze using the handles and thumb wheels that rotate and tilt across multiple axes as you guide a metal marble through to the maze’s finish!
• A fresh take on spherical 3-dimensional maze toys with an added challenge of building it first!
• Explore gravity and engineering concepts and hone critical thinking and fine motor skills as you build and play.

What's in the box: Kit includes 195 pieces to assemble the Orbital Maze, including 4 metal marbles, 1 spring and lubricant; and a 44-page manual with assembly, experiments and playing instructions. 

This toy contains small parts that present a choking hazard and is not suitable for children under the age of 3 years.
