TOMY Screwball Scramble Brainteasers for Ages 5 to 10

My 7yo loves this little game. You have to balance a little marble/ball over a series of obstacles using the little controls at the front. He's obsessed. And as the parent, he's entertained and it's good for learning patience and hand eye coordination, so I'm happy with it too.

Great product

Bought it for my 7 yr old and it has been a hit. The toy is simple yet it is terrific for coordination, focus, strategic thinking and it is fun.

The media could not be loaded. Overall Fun! Certain things don't work 100% and require you to adjust the ball.

Fun. Relaxing! Nostalgic!

Loved this when I was a kid! So thrilled to have found it for my own girls! They love it so much! Challenging and fun!

Different ways to assemble was a nice stem experience for our 5 & 7 years old girls.

I had a game like this when I was a kid called Run Yourself Ragged. Loved that game and I thought this would be a nostalgic purchase. Well, this one is impossible to complete due to faulty and poor construction. The arm that takes the marble around is so shaky, it drops it every time. The double rods that the marble rides down is at a bad angle. The marble will run down them while they’re completely closed, which is like not having them there at all. Next, when the marble jumps through the hoop to get started on the maze, the maze isn’t lined up so the marble can go in. The same knob controls the arm that controls the plane in the back left, which is so shaky that the marble keeps falling out of it. And lastly, the catapult won’t hold the marble right. If you give it just enough of a hit to get the catapult to fall to the other side, the marble flies out and lands on the table. Any less pressure and you can’t get the marble to come up.I have good hand eye coordination and I used to be able to dominate this game. So it is not user error or lack of skill. If it worked, I’d have no problem practicing until I could get it. But that’s just not the case. You would be better off finding the original game from the 80’s.
