Description
It’s a family game of tricky hangs and steady hands. Suspend is the hanging, shifting, unbalanced balance game. Hang your game piece and change the game – just don’t knock it down. Choose a rod and, using only one hand, place it on an unoccupied notch in a balancing rod. Carefully stack wire rods to create a floating structure. The difficulty notches up with each bar added. Keep up the balancing act and successfully hang all of your rods to win.

Q: it says 30pc game but in description it says 24 pc? there is another melissa & doug 24 pc set for $10.69, so why does this set cost more if it still has only 24 pieces?
submitted by Maggie Mae - 8 years ago
A: Hi! There are 24 game pieces, the other pieces are the base (1), the support rods (4), the wooden connector (1), and the colorful die (1), for a total of 30 pieces in the game package. I hope this information is helpful.

not as great as I had hoped
I thought this was a good idea for a family game, but the instructions, although they appear in many languages, are insufficient to get started

Doesn't work, too complicated
This game looks simple but it is completely impossible. Two adults, teens and a kid tried and we could only ever get up to 2-3 sticks suspended at a time. Usually they all came crashing down every time. We tried to use the QR code on the packaging to see “suspend in motion” and the QR code went to an invalid site with nothing. I like the idea but it is way too complicated and impossible. Will return.

Fun but packaging needs improvements
Super fun game for the whole family, but the packaging fell apart after 2 games. Had to move everything to a long box

Beyond pic up stics
Metal rods bent at a variety of angles to balance together. Chosen as the first Christmas toy to open and played right away. Tickles the brain as well as the funny bone. Takes patience but as more fun than a barrel of monkeys and pick up stix combined. A more sturdy box is my only improvement suggestion.

Love it!
Super fun yet simple game!! The whole family enjoys this. It’s fun to play in reverse too as a “pick up sticks” kind of thing….take one piece off at a time without dropping any! Different levels of play adds challenges too. Love it!!

Fun game and well-made
Simple and fun game for multiple players! Good for a variety of ages - only caveat is the packaging, which could've been sturdier or made of different material beside plastic. Also, the instructions were packaged so they were caught under the lip of the cylindrical packaging and were quite difficult to remove and ended up ripping. Otherwise, the game pieces are of great quality and seems like it will last for years.

CHALLENGE!
This is so challenging and so much fun! I love the diagrams for "try this..." included in the package. More fun than pick-up-sticks.
