We've bought this game with a nostalgic intent.Although I've always been fascinated by this game when I was a child, for whatever reason I've never been able to hold it in my hands.The commercial on telly was so intriguing: a magical maze full of incredible creatures, wizards, witches, druids!So, when one day I saw it on Amazon for a very good price, I decided to finally fulfill my child dream.And I don't regret it.The game is well designed and considering that's a "simple" game for children (compared to other "grown-up" games such as Pandemic, Powergrid, etc.) it requires a good dose of strategy, planning and quick thinking.For these reasons it's a very good game to play with your children,because it can help them develop these skills.*The game can be resumed in:Labyrinth is basically a race game without dices, where you have to collect a series of magical items through an ever changing maze.What makes the game interesting (and sometimes frustrating!) is that the board consists of a randomly generated maze, made of moving tiles. At the beginning of each turn a player has to slide in a tile from one of the borders: in doing so all the tiles on that row will slide one position changing the maze's layout, opening (and closing) new paths.This means that you have to shape your own route through the maze in order to reach your targets, but your opponents will do the same!This is why you have to plan in advance your moves, but at the same time you need to think quickly the moment an opponent changes the maze's layout at your disadvantage.*ReplayabilityThe game has a good Longevity: having a maze randomly generated each new game, there will never be two games alike.*The boxIt's a Ravensburger game and to me it means quality and attention.The box will arrive sealed with a thin plastic wrapping so once you'll open it, it will be perfectly clean.It's a sturdy cardboard tiles and with good plastic figures as playing pieces.Although in some picture it could look like the figures are wooden cylinders, I confirm that this edition contains the traditional four plastic figures.The box will contain:The instructionThe Game BoardThe Maze Cards (34)The Treasure Cards (24)Playing Pieces (4)In my opinion:All in all a good classic game, that will keep your rainy afternoons busy, especially if you have children.Age: it says 7+, but it really depends on the child ability to focus and to face some frustration. Adults will play too and find entertaining but maybe more as a filler. The nostalgic vibe is strong with this one!Players: 2 to 4.Playing time: 20/30 minutes; it depends a bit on luck and on the strategy of the other players (maybe you opponent is playing just to block your way!!)

I am not usually big on board games, I enjoyed Monopoly Empire as it is really easy to pick up and play and taking over your opponents brands trying to win is quite satisfying. I am always on the look out for decent board games especially for the darker nights / Christmas time.I came across Labyrinth, was on sale at half price and already had good reviews so I went ahead and ordered it. Delivery came pretty quick ( Prime member), opened the box and checked all the parts / cards were there. I was pleased to see a single sheet of A4 rules! On reading it seemed quite straight forward, my teenage daughters and I played and found it very entertaining,the fact that the board - as a maze - can change on each turn by putting in the extra maze piece in the marked areas and pushing the whole row of maze pieces along really does add a good dimension compared to regular board games - you can greatly help yourself or hinder others when trying to get your treasures. There are no dice - just prepare the board with the maze pieces - deal out the treasure cards ( don't show others these cards unless having a practice; ) - you have to then move the maze on your turn - then either choose to move ( or not move ) your character piece as far as you like as long as there is a clear path - or until you reach your treasure piece....on doing this you then turn over your next treasure card and wait your turn to again move the maze and then your playing piece as required. There is strategy to a point, and moving your piece off the board one side and as in the rules place it the opposite side before moving means you can get to the other side of the board then make your move. Some luck can come your way as well as not - as its funny when you think you are nearly at your treasure and then the player before you then moves the maze and the game changes completely!This is well worth a go - I think we'll certainly be breaking this game out more than others we have ( apart from "grab a pig" or stinky pig which are great, quick easy games for a good giggle!!). I hope I have given a fair idea of how this game plays...and if you can get it for the £12 I paid then why not give it a go...the board / cards and pieces are decent enough quality - i would highly recommend...

Ravensburger Labyrinth is one of our top family favourites. We first received it as a review product (to appear on my blog), but since then bought this game to give as a gift, and at least two of our friends bought it on our recommendation. My 5-year-old son would happily play Labyrinth every day, given a chance.A word of warning - this game is totally addictive. We loved it, and aren't surprised that this game was selected to receive Parenting Magazine's Toy Hall of Fame Winner of Parents Choice Gold Seal Award.It looks deceptively simple. You have a game board, 34 maze cards, 24 object cards and 4 playing pieces.You can almost find yourself travelling back in time, when there were no ipads or other gadgets.But it also proves that simple things could create the most amazing experience.What's the object of the game? You have to search the Labyrinth for magical objects and characters, strategically moving through the maze. The first player who finds all of their objects and characters and returns to the starting point wins.You shuffle the maze cards before the start of the game, then place them on the board randomly to create maze. With one card left over, you begin shuffling and dealing the object cards.Each player chooses a playing piece and places it on the starting square.You're not supposed to show your top card to any other players, and have to try to get to the square with the identical image. To do that, insert a maze card and move your playing piece.So far so good, sounds simple enough. What you have to take into account though is that your opponents will do everything possible to destroy your route to the coveted treasure. Again and again you have to rethink your route. It could turn completely fiendish.The maze is unpredictable, it shifts, it moves, it changes all the time. The treasure hunt is full of surprises.Great game to develop logical thinking and strategic planning skills.This splendid game is designed for 2-4 players aged 7+. You can play a slightly easier version with younger kids.I'm actually quite tempted to buy a different version of this board game as I have seen it is available with Star Wars characters.

Quality of the product is good. Should play for at least 20 minutes per game, probably will take longer if you have a 3 or 4 player game.Content:Game board has some fixed tiles to act as a guideline for the labyrinth.The labyrinth tiles are nice and thick so are sturdy and have a decent finish.Artwork is ok, nothing fabulous but looks good enough.Playing cards (treasure cards) are not the best I've ever seen but are functional and are clear.Character pieces are each unique (suspiciously look like famous wizards) and are coloured differently, red, blue, yellow and green.Insert tray holds all contents nicely.All the rules are on a double-sided coloured page,includes a basic variant rule for youngsters too.Overview:Look at your treasure card and try to retrieve the treasure on it, but beware the labyrinth will change to slow your search, can you collect all your treasure first?The game plays, quite simply, in 2 rounds per player turn.1, Play the loose labyrinth tile and collect the displaced tile.2, Move your character to a treasure or around the labyrinth.These rules are easy to teach and learn, but the game itself does encourage prior planning and basic tactics.I'd say that it's not suitable for very young children but those around 7/8 (perhaps a year or two younger) onwards will likely enjoy the game itself.The only drawback I've found is that you can get stuck trying to get a treasure, this is more likely to happen with higher player counts, but otherwise it's quite straightforward and is enjoyable.Final thoughts:Overall I'd say this is a very good family friendly boardgame.The moving board is interesting, especially for young players, but as mentioned before can be a little frustrating.Happy to have it in my collection and hope to use ot for years to come.

Great fun game for all the family that is entertaining and tests the brain cells at the same time. We purchased this after hearing rave reviews from just about everyone who had played it, but we just couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed when it arrived at Christmas for our daughter, via Father Christmas. It does look slightly dated, and seemed to be a bit of a relic from a by-gone era - the graphic design of the box and the game wouldn't have been out of place when I was a kid a few decades ago. However once we had set it up and played a couple of games we soon saw why it is so loved by so many people, and it's genuinely a brilliantly fun game and one that's equally enjoyed by my wife and I as much as it is by our 7 year old.It's relatively quick to play (a game between the three of us will usually last around 20 minutes or so, so it's doesn't require a huge time commitment and there's no Risk like epic drawn out games that never seem to end) and hugely fun. The ever changing nature of the playing board adds a nice random element to proceedings, but it's also quite a brain stretcher as you have to try and plan several moves ahead and think about how the moving maze will effect the next players, and it can be as much about stopping your opponents from achieving their goal as it is about reaching yours. Most importantly it's just a great fun family game, and one that children and adults both really enjoy playing together and I can honestly say that the two of us enjoy playing it as much as our child. It's simple to learn (kids will pick it up within minutes) but the ever moving maze keeps it fresh each time.

What a refreshing change from playing a dice roll based game! The board is laid out with sliding tiles that define the labyrinth. One spare tile is then pushed on to the side of the board each turn, sliding a row or column of tiles, changing the maze and pushing a tile off the other side. This becomes the other players tile to push on to the end of a row or column of their choice. This means if your piece is on a tile that is in that row or column that it moves with the tile, or even off the side of the board, with the piece being reintroduce on the opposite side of the board.The gameplay is fun and interesting and you can try and strategise if you want, but it is fun just to enjoy it and only think one move ahead.The idea of collecting certain items is also great, creating a 'treasure hunt' type of spirit with excitement and tension. It is good with two players, but more difficult and interesting with more players; the more there are, the more times the maze changes before it is your go again, meaning your plans for the moves ahead are more likely to get scuppered!The board is quite big and good quality, as are the tiles and cards. As with a lot of board games, the box is bigger than it needs to be, but it is also a bit on the large side compared with other similar size board games.A really interesting, addictive and enjoyable game for all ages over about five or so. Highly recommended!PS If you have this and love it, also check out

I bought this game purely on the reviews already done for this game. I was feeling a little cautious on Christmas morning when my son opened it. As he didn't recognise it he put it straight down and moved onto the next present. My husband recommended a game of it later on and when I saw him pushing out numerous pieces of cardboard to set it up I thought it might be too complicated. When I walked in mid-game all three family members - a 9 year old, a 23 year old and a 46 year old were totally hooked. The 23 year old said it was a really good game.I won't go into how the game works in detail as it has been done already in several reviews. I will say however that the game constantly changes.There is no set route round the board - you could start off in one direction and after other players have had their turn you could be somewhere completely different. I played the game for the first time today. It is utterly addictive. I was worried when my son and I played by ourselves and he gave me 12 cards. I thought I might be sat there for hours. I could well have been - I never once looked at the clock as I was so immersed in the game.In actual fact the game can move quite quickly, and it has soon become my son's favourite board game. I was even able to prise him away from his new games console without any trouble at all to play a few games with me today.Worth every penny.

This game has reinvigorated my love for board games. Having now played it many times both as a mid-30s couple and with our children (one of which is only 6 and manages to play along well). It’s a great game for getting your brain to think outside the box and the constantly evolving board means it plays out differently every time. The ability to vary the rules slightly and give the younger ones the freedom to collect any of their treasures helped us balance out the game (having their treasure cards all on show and allowing them to collect any of their treasures in any order) helped them get a head start and towards the end make it harder and slow them down.Definitely balanced out the playing field and didn’t make it too easy for them. Though we’ve played it according to the exact rules and varied them to suit our moods. Games can vary in time from 45 minutes to around 2 hours if there are more than 2 of you playing and you’re taking your time to take turns (recommend thinking it through!). Either way for the price I’ve got more money for value from this than most console games I’ve purchased, and everyone can play. It’s also possible to have 5-6 players if you get a monopoly/similar playing piece and agree on a start/end position for that player.

This game has been a family favourite since our daughter was a chlld over 20 years ago but her version of the game has been lost. She first played her cousin's copy of the game when on a family visit and became THE game to play all during that visit and in succeeding visits.I like it because, once the rules are learned, the children can play on an equal footing with adults (we found our daughter was often better at seeing the pathways than we were ourselves and won fairly!)so it truly is a family game, it is never the same twice since the route constantly changes and is not boring for adults to play like snakes and ladders can be,and can be as of long or short duation as the players desire depending on the number of treasures selected.We have purchased this a gift for other folks too over the years and were able to buy it from shops though it has never been a popular game like Monopoly that everyone knows of, but when we decided to buy this game as Christmas gift for our 7 year old grandson who we think is now old enough to enjoy playing, we found it impossible to source in the usual outlets which is why we had to source it online.I would highly recommend it and I don't understand why it is not more well known.

My friends and I have been playing this game for over a year now. We like various board games, but this one is always on our list of ones to play when we get together. It ony takes around 20 mins so not too commital. We have also played other versions which obviously are the same game, essentially. The Harry Potter version is definitely the nicest to look at, and we like the wooden counters.We are fans of the book series, and we all agree that whoever made decisions about which characters to put in the game probably knew nothing about HP. Why choose Kingsley Shakelbolt? Where are Fred and George, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Bellatrix LeStrange? Other main characters are missing,but Luna is in it twice, why? Doesn't seem to make much sense. Having said that, the pictures are arbitrary so it doesn't affect the gameplay. We do, however, all agree that the pictures are a bit too intricate, Harry and Neville look the same unless you look really closely, and it can be hard to identify some of the other characters too. The pictures are much bigger and clearer in other version of the game.All in all, a firm favourite of ours, and we have easily played it enough to have made it worth the initial investment.

This is a great family game for 2-4 players. Each player has a character that needs to travel through a maze and find various items such as treasure, bats, ghosts etc. The problem is that the maze moves on every turn, so the game involves working out how to move it to your advantage.The instructions are simple and there's a version for younger players. I bought it for my six year old daughter last Christmas, she struggled the first time we played it, but once we introduced her to the easier version she soon grew to like it and it's become a regular rainy weekend afternoon fixture.It's a good looking game with thick maze pieces and attractive cards plus four quite basic magical figures; witches and wizards in red,yellow, blue and green.A strategic game that teaches children to think ahead, the box suggests that it takes twenty minutes for a game, but it can be made harder or easier which affects the length. Each player has cards on which their items are shown, younger players can look at all the cards, or the number of cards dealt can be varied. An average game in our house probably lasts around 30 minutes. The thinking moves ahead aspect reminds me of chess, but this is definitely more fun!

Ravensburger 3D Labyrinth Board Game: This is a reinvigorated version of the older board game of Labyrinth which has been around for years. This version provides a more visually structured board In 3D which adds to the fun and makes pathways more tricky to navigate. The aim is to move around the maze and through the rooms, trying to collect most treasures and return home first with each player adding a tile as they go and forcing out another tile for the next player to add, which changes the structure of the labyrinth as you go. The structural board adds a dimension which can prevent you moving into a room and therefore requires a little strategic thinking. It is recommended for children over 7yrs,I would definitely agree it's not suitable for children any younger and would in fact say that it might even be a little complex at that age. It makes such a lovely change to see kids playing a communal board game rather than heads down on iPads, phones and computers and this is a game which families can enjoy together. It isn’t hugely expensive and the pieces are good quality so can be stored away and pulled out on a rainy day. Good fun.

This is a favourite of my family and can be played by anyone whom enjoys a challenge, having to constantly rethink their next move, and enjoys challenging others.I enjoyed this game both as a young child of 8 and an adult of 30.Cons:- Takes a while to understand you can only push certain lines(due to fixes pieces on the board). There are yellow arrows for the lines you can push.- Maximum of four players; though you can team up if you have more.Pros:- Similar to chess, you have to rethink your move each time due to the other players making moves.- You can play this over and over due to the endless possibilities of moves- Is an easy game to understand,once you explain it once.- Even you can't predict what your next move is going to be as you do not see which your next target is until you get the current card you have (which no one else knows).- You can play this with only one other person if you want.Overall, this is a really fun game and a classic. It can vary in length it takes to play depending on the complexity of the board and movements, so you really never know how long it is going to take.

I was looking forward to trying this game as I'd heard a lot about it. So we (a group of adults) sat down to play and unfortunately we were really underwhelmed. I guess from the box it should be obvious this is aimed more at children but the recommended age between 7 and 99 suggests it may also be suitable for adults who also enjoy a board game. We struggled to get into it. It just wasn't that and we seemed to find treasure really easily rather than having to think strategically. I wanted to give up half way through as it seemed like we were going through the motions to try and get the game done. This is unusual as I love boardgames!We then played it with the kids, and it was a different story.They enjoyed the moving board and changing routes. The rules were relatively simple for them to pick up and they also found the game challenging in different ways. So the game then found its audience!Presentation is nice, the pieces and the board are well made and easy to put together. It takes a little bit of time to set up initially but then it is quick to play. Each game lasts bout 20-30 minutes.

My daughter wanted this for Christmas, I thought it looked rubbish....well I was wrong.No dice, a maze card is used and pushes other cards along changing the maze, sounds simple? well no if four are playing you try to work out where the maze is to get to your artefacts, however, by the time three other players have gone the maze has changed completely leaving you either stranded or your artefact has shifted so you cannot get to it! we love it, we laugh as we get cut off and we moan lol.If your family are the type to get shirty if its not going there way, then yes conflict could arise but it is a light hearted game and its what you make of it.With four players working out the maze it can take about an hour,less players not so long.My daughter is 11 cannot remember the age range but feel if too young they would not understand it. a strategy game which requires thinking and planning.so if you want to be an adventurer searching for lost artefacts this is your game.
