Perplexus Review and Giveaway

About Perplexus:

The concept behind PERPLEXUS was created by 3-D design teacher Michael McGinnis in the late 1970′s as a project for an art class. Michael envisioned turning his creation into a toy. He had no idea this vision would turn into a decades long odyssey to get the game to market.

After almost 20 years, Michael met the inventors at KID Group, one of the premier inventing houses in the toy industry. They collaborated on the design to make it more suitable for consumers. It was finally ready. The original product was marketed as Superplexus.

Through many twists and turns in the toy industry, Superplexus got tangled up in some changes and ended up being shelved just as it was getting started. But that isn’t the end of the story…

In 2008, a group of enthusiasts contacted KID Group about licensing Superplexus. Busy Life, LLC acquired the rights to Superplexus and launched PERPLEXUS in its current form.

At New York Toy Fair in 2009, Busy Life, LLC formed a distribution partnership with PlaSmart, Inc. a Canadian toy company. PlaSmart fell in love with the product and now distributes PERPLEXUS products worldwide. Retailer and consumer response has been amazing. Busy Life, KID Group and Michael McGinnis work closely developing innovative products that will be available soon.

So here we are in the present. PERPLEXUS is selling well all over the world. We think this is just the beginning of a long-term success story!

I tried taking pictures, but they turned out with a glare because it’s a plastic ball. The best way to see it is to watch this video.  I was able to review Perplexus Original, Rookie, and Epic. My boys, husband and myself have been playing with these balls for hours. It never gets old trying to go through the mazes. It reminds me of Labyrinth, a game I played when I was little. It was a box with a maze that you had to go through with a ball by tilting the top. Well this is ten times better. It’s a lot of  fun, challenging, and can get pretty exciting.

Perplexus was nominated educational toy of the year. It’s an addicting game that can be played alone or kids can challenge their friends.
