My 8 year old enjoys this but it is challenging! I've used it several times myself and it has taken some time to complete. Once in awhile you get it quickly on the first try but other times it takes awhile and multiple tries. It's a unique puzzle and it's fun!

I wanted to buy something small to keep in the car for my 4 and 6-year-olds. This was a cool find that kept them engaged and stimulated for more than 30 minutes while it's new. It's challenging, but not impossible. There is also a booklet that gives you suggestions on different ways to start out the puzzle, and has you finish the rest on your own. The overall build of the product is ok, but has a bit of an oily finish. Some of the pieces are also a very tight fit and difficult to pull out. Knocking off 1 star for that. Otherwise, it was worth the purchase.
