What owners single out
In their words
“My nephew was introduced to this game at a friend's home. He has asked for it ever since. He is ADHD with a slight developmental delay. When we purchased it we were pleasantly surprised at how often he wants to play it, either by himself or as a family. It keeps him focused, calm and entertained. This may change once the "newness" wears off, but for now it's a great gift.”

“I love logic games, especially those that you can play both alone or with others. Gravity Maze was easy to set up (took me about 30 seconds out of the box, if that) and the instructions/rules were clear. It's fun to solve the challenges on the cards, but just as fun to play around with the different pieces and build your own maze. The pieces are sturdy, but easy to move around, so you can quickly ”
