The Happy Puzzle Company - Multi-Level Snakes & Ladders - The Classic Game with a Clever Twist - Climb your Way Up the Ladders to the Next Level - Learn Sequencing & Visual Perception Skills - Ages 4+

I run a children's afterschool club for children aged 5-12 and bought this as thought it would be a novel twist on the standard snakes and ladders game. It took a while for me to to set up the night before and although it is quite sturdy its a shame it wasnt made of plastic as I think over time it will get damaged as its made of cardboard. Ive decided to keep it assembled as it takes a while to put together and I think if you kept taking it down to put away it would soon become a bit tatty on the edges. I took it to the afterschool club yesterday and the children absolutely loved it. One child (aged 8) said it was the best game he'd ever seen and he loved it. The children all gathered round it and were fixated with all the ways they slide down the snakes tails and up the ladders, enthusiastically pointing out to me all the moves they had just made ( It looks a bit like a multi storey carpark!). Although it was a bit pricey I loved watching the children of all ages enjoy it and kept them occupied for hours, I had to peel them away from it when their parents came to collect them - I have to say I loved playing with it too (and Im nearly 50!)

We bought one of these for my 6 year old son a few years ago and played it so many times - (he absolutely loved it). After a move of house it finally fell apart and we have bought another one. I have also bought one for a nine year old nephew with a six year old brother. It takes a bit of time to put together and needs to be kept in its built form - we keep it on a tray on a shelf. It is a fantastic game for all the family and I can’t praise it highly enough.

Lovely product and teenagers thought it was “cool”

I feel this was hard to build and is hard to store but is still very fun and great different take on snakes and ladders.

Great interpretation of the game. Had lots of fun with the adults, now waiting for the grandchildren to arrive. The only downside is that, as others have commented it looks too flimsy to take down and rebuild every time it is used. To that end I have enlarged the box top so that I have only to take off two protrusions at each side and one at the front. I think the manufacturers should include pieces in the box to enable that to be done, maybe call it the deluxe version and charge a bit more then it would be perfect. My problem now is where to store the 380mm *380mm*280mm box.

Great fun once it’s setup and ready to play with. Takes a bit of time to setup first time round but subsequent setups are a doddle. It’s really clever how it works, it really brings the game to life; our 6 year old son loves it.

Flimsy. Breaks easily and difficult to put back in the box once erected. Made of cardboard so not worth the money

Grandsons love, with enough catches, you think you've nearly won then down a hole and back to the lower rows
