Ready, Set, Race
Challenge your family to a hectic, strategic game night with Maze Racers. Make a maze as tricky—and as quickly—as possible, then pass it over to one of your opponents to navigate.
You build your maze using foam shapes on magnetic trays. Whoever is done first yells, "Ready to race!" and flips the sand timer—now everyone else has just 60 seconds to finish building.
When the minute is up, swap trays, and try to maneuver the wooden ball through your opponent’s maze and back. Make it there first and you win the round.
After a few attempts, you’ll be able to make more complex mazes to trip up the competition. When we tried it out, our 11-year-old tester’s designs got progressively ambitious. This puzzle game is so engaging that kids won’t notice they’re building engineering and logic skills.
Inventor Andy Geremia’s first prototype of Maze Racers was made out of a cereal box and straws. The idea was so good, he won a competition with that makeshift board. Play a few rounds, and you’ll agree this game is a winner.

12/4/2015 10:46 AMWhat size are the boards/package they come in? Looking for something that might fit easily into a USPS flat rate box to send to an APO address.

12/4/2015 2:13 PMHi Charlene, thanks for the comment! Price is one of the hardest variables for new Makers to control. One sure way of helping Makers bring their cost down, outside of actually buying, is spreading the word. You think it looks awesome and I know many others would agree. The more people that hear about Maze Racers, the more people buy, the more the price can be lowered.
We certainly don't want you breaking the bank on this or any of our products and are always open to feedback about what you look for in terms of price in the toy category.
