Recommended for ages 12 to 105 years.A few bright children between 8 to 11 years may also enjoy, provided they understand that NO force is used to solve.Forcing pieces may damage the puzzle !!
Rated by the manufacturer as a level 4 difficulty (on a scale of 1 to 6 where 6 is the most challenging.) Difficulty level shown on the packaging.Your own experience could vary substantially.MARBLE is part of a series of 55 plus very interesting and mentally provocative metal brain teasers from the Hanayama Puzzle Company.Some serious puzzlers refer to these as "disentanglement-style puzzles" as they involve taking something apart and then re-assembling.Re-assembly can also be a puzzle and may be equally as tricky.
Reminder.NO FORCE is ever required to solve the puzzle.Just a series of clever moves.
