Rating:                        ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:     6 year-old ++ 

Who would love this:  Kids who love maze/ labyrinth + memory games 

The Magic Labyrinth by Drei Magier brilliantly brings the concept of a tabletop maze to life, creating a truly immersive experience without relying on video-game graphics or elaborate features. My kids and I were immediately hooked, playing round after round! Thank you Let's Play Games for a copy! 

Why I love ❤️ this game: 

(1) Maze With Invisible Walls - A Super Cool Memory Game

You play as young wizards navigating an invisible maze to collect magical tokens—first to 5 wins! The game cleverly teaches cause and effect, as kids learn from trial and error while avoiding obstacles. The setup is simple yet brilliant: players arrange wooden barriers under the board, spin it to scramble the maze’s orientation, and place magnetized wizards on each corner with a metal ball attached underside. As you move, hitting an invisible wall sends the ball rolling back, forcing you to remember which paths to avoid next turn. We laughed when we advanced, only to groan in delight when hearing the characteristic plunk of the falling ball!

(2) Easy To Adjust Levels Of Difficulty + Lucky Elements For Unpredictability

After each round, simply lift the board, rearrange the hidden walls, and start fresh with a new challenge! I love how the difficulty can be adjusted by removing wall pieces, offering a perfect balance for players of all ages. The walls fit snugly into their grid slots, making setup a breeze. What’s even more fun is the lucky element introduced when you draw a token from the bag—if it lands on your pawn’s space, you grab it instantly. If it’s close by, you’ll likely snatch it up before anyone else can!

(3) Clever Design - Easy To Retrieve Dislodged Ball & Restart A Turn

When the metal ball hits a wall, it’s smoothly dislodged and rolls effortlessly to one of the table’s corners—such a clever design that makes it easy to retrieve and quickly restart your turn! The four wizard pawns are vibrant, oversized, and delightfully chunky, making them extra fun for kids to move around. I also love that the bottoms are lined with velvety felt, allowing them to glide smoothly across the board.

(4) Awesome Components - Large Maze Surface & Great Quality

I love the large maze surface and the sturdy wooden die. The cardboard pieces and boards are high quality and well-punched. Plus, the black pouch to store everything is a nice touch. Overall, the components are fantastic!
