Perplexus is a 3D marble maze contained within a clear plastic sphere about 8 inches in diameter. The sphere is typically held with two hands and turned and manipulated as you try to navigate a steel marble through a maze of turns, twists, loops, spirals, drop-offs, and more! Throughout the maze, there are numbers indicating how far you have gone. Can you make it all the way to 100? Start from the beginning, or stage 2, or stage 3 until you've mastered the entire maze. Good luck!
- Ages 6 and above

Perplexus is a maze game where players must maneuver a small marble around challenging barriers inside a transparent sphere. Unlike traditional flat-surface mazes that are composed of one path, Perplexus houses various exhilarating tracks with 100 barriers and provides a three dimensional experience. Players select which track they would like to attempt, and then must work with gravity and carefully shift, flip, and twist the sphere to guide the marble. Players can race each other or the clock. On top of being entertaining, Perplexus is also an educational toy, and assists in child development. It is a great toy for children to exercise their motor and dexterity skills, as well as improve their hand-eye coordination. Its small size makes it easily portable.
Perplexus was invented by 3-D design teacher Michael McGinnis who began his project in the late 1970's and originally named and marketed it as Superplexus. Through years of experimenting and design it was finally developed into a finished product.
