It's a logic game and roller coaster building set that comes with 60 challenges of increasing difficulty, from beginner to expert, and makes a great birthday or holiday present for kids who like smart games and challenging activities. Roller Coaster Challenge is a fun brain teaser puzzle made with high quality components, and comes with a very clear and easy to understand instruction manual - you'll be able to play within minutes of opening the box. Like all of ThinkFun's games, Roller Coaster Challenge is built to develop critical thinking skills and ties into STEM subjects like science and engineering. Playing through the increasingly difficult challenges will improve logical reasoning, spatial reasoning and planning skills, all through fun gameplay.

Review: Great, screen free STEM toy! - I bought this for my son 5 years ago when he was 6 and we still play with it. As with all toys and games, he gets a little bored of it, we put it away for 6 months or so and pull it back out. He'll play with it for hours and then not play with it again for months. It definitely gets him thinking and troubleshooting. I love that there are zero screens, no QR CODES or anything. Just good old fashioned fun. I will say at 6 years old he needed adult help with it, but it wasn't too long before he was playing on his own. Definitely a great STEM toy!
Review: So much Fun and Awesome STEM Toy - I bought this for my niece who is 8 years old. SHE LOVES IT! She gets so proud when she completes one and it really is a great skill building activity for kids. As other people stated, you kind of have to figure out how to interpret the little cards with each of the challenges on them. The cards give have two sides. One side gives you a starting point picture of where some of the main parts should be placed on the building platform and then gives you a list of what other parts you will need to complete that roller coaster. When you are done, you flip the card over and it gives you the solution with picture of where ALL of the parts should be on the platform. It took me a few minutes to figure out that each of the different size tracks have either 1,2,3 or 4 dots on them depending on their length and that at the bottom of the front of each card it tells you how many of each size track you will need to complete the challenge, etc. However, once I figured it all out, it was easy. For a 5-7 year old, depending on their level of reasoning and problem solving skills, they will most likely need adult assistance. My 8 year old niece needed adult assistance for the first 4 or 5 levels and then she could pretty much figure out how to do it on her own. This is super fun and is an excellent tool to help children learn problem solving, reasoning skills, spatial recognition skills, and so many other things. Great STEAM Toy. For younger kids, some of the pieces are not super simple to snap into place but that age should probably need adult assistance for completing the roller coasters anyway. Highly recommend this!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would it work with marbles if the little coaster car gets lost?**
A: Sort of works for some track configurations. Marbles are faster than the car and jump the track easily.

**Q: is it too difficult for a 6 year old?**
A: My son received it at about 6 1/2. He liked building with it for fun, but without the guiding cards. As he got more familiar with the pieces, he started trying the easier builds and really enjoyed it. I would say if your 6 year old is a builder and already completing Lego sets for older kids (8+), they would enjoy growing with this game. Hope that helps.

**Q: Can 2 sets connect together?**
A: that is a great question! there is no scaffolding to connect the black bottoms but there is nothing preventing you from putting them side by side and attaching the pieces from one set into the next

**Q: For older kids, such as 5th graders, do you recommend combining 2 kits for them to have more pieces to work with or is 1 kit enough (won't be bored)?**
A: Not really. This is a game, not a building set. You get cards that show you the puzzle and you have to "solve it" by building something that meets the build requirements (i.e. what shows on the card). So having more pieces won't do anything extra for those puzzles. Now, if you want to approach this as a builder set and just let the kids build what ever they want, then more pieces could be good. But I wouldn't recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great products
*by R***H on December 14, 2024*

I have purchased three other Think Fun games for my grandsons; Gravity Maze, Lazer Maze, and Domino Maze.. Every one of them are excellent so ordered this for my 8 year old grandson. Like all the others, it is well made, versatile and he plays with it non stop. You don’t have to play any of them as a game but just for fun and creativity. I can see it being appropriate for many age levels as has many variations built in. It easily assembles and stores well in box. Bravo Think Fun for making educational games with purpose.
