With MINDWARE’s Q-BA-MAZE 2.0 Starter Light Set, kids ages 6 and up can build mazes and watch the cubes light up when the marbles pass through. The cube design and sliding side connections allow the marble maze to take on surprising shapes, and the precision engineering of the double exit makes the marbles’ path a mystery. Four motion-activated cubes flash red, green, blue, or white every time a marble hits the cube floor.
