Brain Teaser with Keychain (6)

Six mini maze cubes, each holding a different maze with a small ball inside. Tilt, turn and rotate the cube to work the ball through the passages to the finish. Simple to explain, harder than it looks, and a child will keep at it far longer than the thirty seconds most party favors survive. Each cube has a keychain clip built in, which is the practical part. It hooks onto a backpack zip or a lunch box handle and stays there, so it comes along instead of getting lost in a drawer. The clear plastic body lets you see where the ball is and work out the route. The six mazes vary in difficulty, so there is somewhere to progress to rather than one puzzle solved and done. No screen and no batteries makes them useful in a car, a waiting room or a restaurant, and they go quiet in a way most fidget toys do not. At six to a pack they suit a small guest list, a prize box top up or a few stocking stuffers. Not for children under 3 years.
