Like Perplexus Original, Perplexus Epic is an engaging 3­D puzzle logic game. By twisting, tilting, and turning a plastic sphere, the player tries to move a steel ball through a 4­-track maze with 125 obstacles from start to finish. This toy is highly recommended to improve concentration, reasoning, and spatial skills. It is ideal for a child who likes puzzles and enjoys a challenge. This game is fun for children in a broad age range, and those who enjoy it find it difficult to put down. Perplexus Epic is significantly more difficult than the Original game, and the barriers are different (e.g. tricky "serpentine" curves, the "gondola" which passes the ball to another level, and a "launcher" ramp) so it is really for children who have mastered and enjoyed Perplexus Original.
