Easy to Play, Hard to Master

The Perplexus Original Maze Game is a clear sphere filled with multicolored pathways covering different areas of the sphere's interior. A small metal ball rolls around on the inside, and it's your job to guide that ball through the maze to its end. Once the ball is balanced in its starting position, it's easy to start rolling it around the tracks. By the time you've learned the different passageways, you'll realize that even though it's easy to play, all the different ways of moving around are hard to master!

Flip, Twist, and Spin Your Way through the Maze

Moving through the different pathways is a wacky exercise in spatial reasoning and stimulates your cognitive reasoning. As you move the ball along one track, you find that it's never long before you reach a different colored track that requires you to flip, twist, and spin the sphere 90 degrees one way or another to keep the ball rolling. Twist around corners, flip from the yellow to the orange ramp, spin around the various curves--if you fall off the track, just get back on and try again!

Race Yourself, Your Friends, and the Clock

If you work hard enough and make it to the end of the maze, congratulate yourself, and then turn it into a racetrack! Keep track of your personal best times and race against the clock. You can also race against your friends' times, or stage races with multiple Perplexus Mazes!

3 Races and 100 Challenging Barriers to Master

The Perplexus Maze Game includes a super spiral, a tightrope, and a swing arm to form 3 different puzzles and 100 challenging barriers to discover and overcome. Share it with your friends and family as you try to uncover all the patterns and obstacles, but be careful--Perplexus Original is so addicting that once you let it go, you might not get it back!

What's in the Box

Perplexus maze and stand.

Perplexus is a can't-put-down challenge!! Flip, Twist and spin the transparent sphere to move the ball along the numbered path working with and against gravity. Be careful, faster than the blink of an eye your ball can fall off course and you'll have to begin again. Fun for the whole family with over 100 barriers to master.

  • Recommended Ages: 6 years & up

Mobility on the Ground and in Your Pocket

The RC Nitro Speeders are designed so all parts can fit inside your pocket and go wherever you go. The remote controller doubles as a charging deck, consolidating two separate functions in a single efficient tool. The remote also serves as a carrying case, featuring a small, clear compartment that easily holds the Nitro Speeder. This way, you can carry all the tools you need in one simple piece that fits comfortably in your hand.

High Speeds and Precise Driving

With their small size and microchip technology, Nitro Speeders can make super-precise, high-speed turns and feature responsive control in all directions. The high-power, rechargeable battery dodges any unnecessary weight, and two 30,000-rpm motors supply power to each set of wheels. Super-size tires increase the Nitro Speeders' traction, propelling the vehicle forward, in reverse, and around sharp turns at a scale speed of 0 to 600 miles per hour.

Promotes Coordination and Strategy

Our testers were impressed by the acceleration and speed the Nitro Speeders could reach, and had fun learning how to use the controllers to make swift, sharp turns on hard indoor surfaces. Testers found that at first the extreme speeds of the Nitro Speeders often caused the vehicles to flip over. However, after reading the quick tips in the provided instructions and some practice with the controller, the drivers' coordination improved and Nitro Speeders became easier to drive.

The Nitro Speeders come in five different varieties: Chevy Camaro Car, Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Hammer Head Vehicle, Ken Block Ford Fiesta Rally Car, Mustang Car, and Team Hot Wheels Mustang Car. Collect 'em all to stage races and work on your racing strategy!

The remote controller requires four AA batteries (not included).
