My grandson had great fun with this rubik’s toy. His dad (who can solve a cube in nothing flat) also enjoyed it. Fun for all ages! And we got a picture when they got it finished!

This is a beautiful little puzzle, very appealing design and heft in your hands. However, unlike the original Rubix Cube, which my kids all love, they feel this one is “hopeless”. The great thing about the original Rubix Cube is that for younger kids, they can still feel like they’ve made a lot of progress if they only get one face fixed on the puzzle. So it is still fun for them. And with patience and some logic, if they spend enough time, they are bound to succeed in getting at least one face.
However this game, from what I’ve read, seems to be a motor skill game, where you flip the ball around in certain ways to get the holes to line up and the ball to drop through. There are no few psychological payoffs along the way – getting 4 squares, now 5, now 6. The 360 is more all or nothing — basically once you learn the strategy for getting one ball in, you can get them all in.
So I don’t really recommend this for kids, unless they are very gifted and patient kids — I’d stick with the regular Rubix Cube. However, for adults or anyone else looking for a new and interesting puzzle, this would be a nice curiousity.
