Perplexus
Perplexus is a most perplexing puzzle and game rolled into one, this transparent ball of endless maze-solving fun is the latest thing in old-school games!
Hands-on play involves holding the sphere while twisting, flipping, and tilting it to maneuver a miniscule marble up, down, around, and ultimately through the colorful three-dimensional maze of barriers.

Star Wars Force Trainer
Finally had a chance to try out the Star Wars Force Trainer. Here’s the video:
This is one of the exciting Star Wars Science Kits we have available. Be sure to read the instructions when you open the box. The Force Trainer needs to be calibrated, which basically means calibrating the fan which lifts the ball. Once we got it setup, had to decide to try either the Freeplay mode or Jedi Training Mode. Tried the Freeplay mode first thinking that it can’t be too hard, but it was! Not sure if I got the ball to move at all. Then decided to try the training mode. This was nice because it give you a sense of accomplishment (the fan moves the ball for you!) So, not too successful on my first try. Will try it another day with the video camera off to see if it works better then!
The theory of the product is that it uses your brain’s beta waves to control a light ping-pong type ball. Overall, the promise of fun is there, but it probably takes more practice.
