The idea of this is great, but we are so disappointed. The magnets are not strong enough. We tried on a huge magnetic board we have and tried on a steel door, where tons of magnets stick. The maze parts keep sliding down the magnetic surface. we are returning.

I put the Wonder Maze on a magnetic board and it works great. Kids and adults really love moving the pieces around and watching the balls drop. Hours of entertainment!

I've purchase Wonder Maze for my day care. The idea is great, however the magnets don't stick well to the refrigerator, also balls get stuck in a couple of mazes due to small incline; everytime a ball gets through the maze it upsets the whole structure a bit, or even pushes some maze boxes down. All of this requires constant fixing of the maze which is too difficult for inpatient players with little hands. I am returning the product.

This is a wonderful and creative product. My 7 and 4 year old have made some interesting maze runs. My only problem is that the magnets on the back of the items do not stick to the refrigerator very well. When the ball drops from any distance it slip's and that small slip could make the ball stuck, or run off it course. Also it is great for little hands, however, it takes up the whole refrigerator. The kids have to use a chair to put the ball in, or I have to do it. Not to mention the balls are bouncy so sometimes they bounce out of the container. But for an 1/2 hour of no fighting with each other and helping each other is worth its weight in gold.

This product is not really for 10 year olds or for refrigerators. It is really a preschool product for small children. It works great in a playroom with a magnetic white board or magnetic paint. You could paint a whole wall and have a huge display if you wanted. Really great for daycare centers ,people who do day care in their homes or anyone with a family room for their kids to play in.

I bought this product for my 10 year old daughter and it was much to easy for her. The individual pieces are huge too. You can't get anything else on the refrigerator. We have the refrigerator magnetics which she enjoys more and it's more challenging too! I would recommend the refrigerator magnetics over this product.

My boys (ages 4 & 6) really enjoy it, but it is SO MUCH BIGGER than I thought. THe picture in the magazine makes it seem one quarter or less the size (to me, anyway), and there was not indication of the size of this item. It therefore requires a lot of space on a metal surface...it takes up both refrigerator and freezer doors if lined up from top to bottom, and then the kids have to get on a chair to put the balls into the beginning of the maze. Kids would have just as much fun with it if it was MUCH SMALLER.
