Think Fun Invasion of the Cow Snatchers STEM Toy and Logic Game for Boys and Girls Age 6 and Up - A Magnet Maze Logic Puzzle, Multi, (1021)

There are a lot of these puzzle games out there, but this is one of better in terms of inventiveness and build quality. The puzzles do a good job of ramping up the difficulty slowly so young children can level up their skills, at least until the big jump in difficulty with the most advanced genius level. The concept of alien cow snatching is cute and adds some flavor. My 7-year-old really enjoyed it.

I had this game on my want list for about 2 years now. It was recently on sale, and I decided to buy it. So glad that I did. It's so much fun. I haven't had any issues with the magnets not being strong enough like some people have had, but I think the reason why, the game comes with 4 cardboard stickers that you're supposed to place on the edges of the top. I tried it and noticed the UFO doesn't pick up the pieces as well, so I removed the stickers. I'm not sure what the purpose of the stickers are, but they seemed unnecessary to me. My daughter and I have tournaments on who can solve the maze the fastest. It's been a great bonding experience for the two of us. I just wish I bought the game sooner.

The game play/puzzle aspect of this game is spot-on and very fun. My main issue is with the materials and the way it's packaged.The clear dome you have to look through arrived scuffed in certain spots but was still clear enough to see through. The spaceship has a sponge on the bottom to keep it from scratching the top of the clear dome. The problem is the cow coins that the spaceship picks up have no such protection, they are hard plastic and they cause scratch lines on the underside of the clear dome. So far these are very fine lines and they don't affect my ability to see through, but I have to wonder how much worse it will get overtime.I also have an issue with the packaging. Normally these types of puzzles have like a hidden drawer or a snap shut case that stores all the pieces and cards. For this puzzle you either have to let all the pieces and cards fall free or save the clear plastic insert that awkwardly holds them in place.One last small personal complaint; no part of this puzzle glows in the dark. Not the writing on the box or any of the pieces. It would have been pretty cool if the cow coins were UV reactive and the spaceship had a little black light on the bottom of it, total missed opportunity there.Overall, it is a really fun game and I really like the magnetic gimmick for puzzle solving. I was just surprised by the lack of attention to fit and finish. Usually, thinkfun is pretty smart about the things I mentioned, but I think they were kind of short-sighted this time.

Our family love games and puzzles, we enjoyed this little solo puzzles so much that we got another one to gift to our son’s 7 years old friend! It’s funny and quirky and challenging!

Game will last a long time, everything is sturdy plastic, the only cardboard parts(besides the cards) is the crop circles and someone has made them printable on printables.com so as soon as I have yellow I'm going to print them up. Might also just do dark green. I'm going to get sleeves for the cards and put them in a larger box, kids like to play with sticky fingers. Also, the solution to ever game is on the back so I'll put them back to back so the solution can't be seen without removing the card. Other than that this is a really fun game. The first cow is tricky to pick up, you need to press down on the UFO and wiggle it at the same time to pick it up sometimes. If the magnet was any stronger it would pick them up from the sides, I imagine when they were making the game it was a balancing act between height of the board and strength of magnet.Really good game for kids, they can play solo and after the easy levels the medium levels get challenging. My daughter is 6 and she loves it, working her way through, and she can play it by herself which is really nice. Can't recommend this game enough.

Cute game, but adults and older teens will get bored with it quite quick.

The media could not be loaded. Good introduction to puzzle fun for 6 year old. The game concept is creative and the pieces function as they should. Happy with this purchase.

DO NOT BUY! You will be dissapointed. Manufacture told me that the game was discontinued because the magnet was not strong enough to pick up the first cow.
