Perplexus Portal is a three-dimensional puzzle ball from Spin Master Games: a transparent plastic sphere containing an extensive course of 150 obstacles. The box includes the ball itself and a stand to rest it on between play.
Using turning movements of your hands, you guide the small ball inside through bridges, curves and obstacles. More than 50 magic portals on the course suddenly move the ball to another part of the track, creating new challenges every time. A hidden button on the ball also reveals a secret storage compartment.
The course has 150 numbered obstacles, ranging from simple bends to tricky traps, and there are several starting points for players who want to approach it differently each time. The box states an age rating of 8 years and up.
With its mix of patience, precision and a bit of luck, Perplexus Portal makes a fun gift for children who enjoy puzzles, and the ball remains an entertaining challenge to keep on the table for older kids and adults alike.
