TOMY Screwball Scramble Brainteasers for Ages 5 to 10

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.

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!

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

Great product

Fun. Relaxing! Nostalgic!

I bought it for the kids (7, 5, and 4 year olds) and they love it but I love it more! Haha don’t judge but my husband and I have turned it into a drinking game bc it is more challenging than the video makes it seem! Haha so you drink every time the ball falls hahaha! My only complaint it there is no place to store the marble on the game and if you have kids you know the cardboard boxes will not stay sturdy enough to contain little marbles! I will probably get the other version next Christmas bc it’s fun. Maybe by then they will see my only complaint and add a little trap door to store the marbles 😂

I used to play this game with my best friend when we were kids. It was then called "Run Yourself Ragged". I don't understand the bad review I've seen on here for this.. at age 12 we were able to complete the entire gauntlet faster than the clock, in fact we ended up leaving the clock off and just seeing how many "laps" we could run it without dropping the ball.Each section has a trick to it to make it work smoothly. It all has to do with momentum and timing. This is a great tool for developing coordination, and learning some basic physics concepts. (even if you're too young to know what physics actually is).I must admit, after 20+ years of not playing it, I've lost the knack for getting the ball from the turning platform onto the magnet, and have lost the timing for running it down the rails smoothly, but it's just a matter of practice.One tip I can give to all who seem to be struggling with this game... make sure it's on a solid and level playing surface... like a hard floor or a sturdy table. If it's tipped in the slightest it's impossible to get all the gizmos to work properly.As with video games and all good puzzle type things.. it takes patience and practice.Not only is this a good game for kids for developing coordination.. it also makes a cool New Years or other party type game even for adults.Especially those of us who enjoyed it as kids!

This was an absolute disaster of a purchase. I have played this game before and absolutely loved it. It’s fun, challenging, and doesn’t require batteries to operate. I purchased this a long time ago but it was broken, but really wanted to get it again. Naturally I wanted to purchase this for my own entertainment as well for my kids. Initially, I purchased this and when it came in I was elated to be able to show this to my kids. Unfortunately, the “arrow” part of the game that moves from left to right would not move all the way to the “stop” which meant once it came out of the red tube there was too much of a gap so it would always fall through.No problem..... things don’t always work..... no big deal. So I did a replacement to receive the exact same item. Received the replacement in two days. Once again, hopes were high to be able to show my kids a game that required skill and focus, but didn’t require modern technology to do so. HOWEVER, I received the replacement, to immediately find out that the red tube puzzle was flipped around so that there was no way the ball could even go into the red tube. (I have included images of both shipments that I received so that anyone can see the red tube flipped around backwards, and the “arrow” portion of the puzzle not going all the way to the stop).This was such a great game, and I am very disappointed that I received two jacked up versions. Now just doing a flat out refund.
