Project Genius Chinese Pagoda, multicolor

Yes, It’s not much of a ‘puzzle’, they really ought not market it that way. I thought depending on how you turn the levels the balls would fall, and you’d have to get them back to their level. Nooooope! The balls don’t move at all on mine, it just spins. However, we LOVE our little wooden pagoda which is eye catching, curious and coloful. It’s nicely made so it won’t break from being handled, and my niece has begged me for one. I WILL buy it again. Lovely wooden toy, Attractive decoration. Delightful.

This was a Christmas gift for my youngest son, who enjoys the challenges of puzzles. It took him several days to work the puzzle successfully. It’s well-made and arrived on time. Thanks!

This puzzle was received solved and seemed like an easy, no challenge sort of toy. It’s more challenging now that we have moved around the colors. This is fun!

Grandson loves a challenge and it is one

I thought the puzzle was a bit flimsy but my grandchildren liked it:)

Me encanta xq me hace concentrarme y es entretenido

poor instructions on how to solve

I want to start off by saying this puzzle is a nice challenge. I received this as a Christmas gift and I wanted to give it 5 stars but it comes already solved out of the box so you have to scramble it yourself and the construction is on the lower end of quality. I put a picture of mine and as you can see it's not very clean in fact one of the pieces of wood, as seen in the photo, actually has a crack in it. Now that doesn't affect it's ability to turn but it came brand new in the box that way and it's very cheaply packaged and made. I will say though that the design is very nice and I do enjoy the overall look. I wish the actual turning was a bit more fluid cause it's quite a pain to actually rotate the wooden slots when solving the puzzle. The layers often turn on their own when you shift any of the slots and you're constantly having to wiggle it in order to get the ball just enough clearance to actually tilt to move up or down or into the hole that allows you to solve it. This would have gotten another star had it come scrambled. Upon opening it and just fiddling with it I did scramble a few rings and it only took me a few hours in order to figure out how to solve this and what the trick is. I don't think it is a 5 star on the difficulty, maybe a 3 if it was fully scrambled would be a bit harder and it does lose another star because two of the colored balls are extremely identical in color and yes that does make it harder but it's more annoying cause without good eyesight and good lighting this is just tough to see and with it moving around so easily just trying to hold it that results in a not too pleasant experience. I had to grip it in a way that held each column together so I can shift only the row I was working on one at a time. This gets a 3 star cause it could do with having more of a symmetric build design and better quality. As you can see not every piece is the same and it doesn't sit flush and all the wood is a different grain and color so it doesn't look like one cohesive piece and mine has a cracked wooden piece so I don't know the integrity. Good gift overall though and is fun but definitely scramble it and let others try and solve it.
