Toys and Games Reviews of Rubik's Brain Racker
Customer Review: A reasonably fun and not-too-difficult puzzle
Summary: 3 Stars
In terms of difficulty, this puzzle is significantly easier than a Rubik's cube. There are 4 different colors, and each color has 5 triangle-shaped pieces numbered 1-5 for a total of 20 pieces. The red #1 acts as the "plug" and can be removed, creating one opening on the ball. You can then slide around the remaining pieces along grooves in the ball. There are several different "solutions" to this puzzle. That is, there are several different patterns that you can make (arranged by color and/or by number). Although the pieces move around relatively easily, I found the amount of sliding necessary to move the pieces into the correct locations to be somewhat tedious at times. Also the red #1 piece uses a twisting motion to lock/unlock into place. Since it is plastic, it feels like it may someday break due to the amount of tension placed on it when you twist it (although it hasn't broken yet).
Still overall it's a decent distraction. The multiple patterns/solutions give it some replay value. And although it didn't keep my interest as long as a Rubik's cube, I still find myself picking it up and playing with it from time to time.
