Ravensburger Labyrinth Moving Maze Family Board Game for Kids and Adults Age 7+ | Classic Strategy Maze Game for 2–4 Player for Boys and Girls | Award‑Winning Family Game

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.

My kids are 7, 9 and 15 and they all love this game! simple to set up with good quality pieces and a box which make it easy to pack away. When you buy Ravensburger your buying good quality games. Set up takes about 2 mins and our game time can be anywhere from 20mins to 45mins, buy the game and you'll understand why! The game mechanic itself is easy to master but behind the simple turn based game is a ery strategy based game which can be made easy for young ones but can be very taxing for older players if you want it to be. But in both cases the game makes you think! As the board is ever changing each turn constantly making you re-asses your next move. Im 45 and I love this game too. Me and my partner find ourselves playing it together after the kids go to bed! Simply a great game for all ages

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...

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.

I originally encountered this game when the German edition was gifted to me as a child by relatives. As a game it is incredibly intuitive and quick to learn. There is no need for reading, counting or rolling of dice. Rather it relies on visual puzzle solving. Because of this, I have found over time that I keep coming back to it again and again. Not only to play, but also to give to others. When the majority of the world's experience of 'board games' is monopoly or scrabble, then this is a great gateway game to show them what else is out there. Ravensburger first released this in 1986 and they've been producing them ever since. I would say it is ideal for families with children ranging from 7 to 12. Sometimes the younger ones need help finding a route, but that's all part of playing games together. In my opinion, every b'oardgame family' should have a visual puzzle game like this in their games cupboard!

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.

We've bought this for ourselves a few years ago and have since bought this again to gift to our children's friends and cousins for their birthdays. The best part of this game for me is that it's easy to learn, no complicated rules and after one run-through most people have a good grasp of the game. Importantly for me, one game doesn't go on and on with no end in sight, so it's good if like me your attention span isn't vast. This also makes us as a family more likely to pick it up and play with it, rather than feeling like it's going to take up a full day. I've recommended this to so many families and our kids ages 13, 9 and 8 love it and have been able to play it confidently since the youngest was 6.

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.

Çok keyifli ve güzel bir oyun. 10 ve 8 yaşındaki çocuklarımla birlikte ben de zevkle oynuyorum. Stratejik düşünme eteneklerini geliştirebilecek bir oyun. Düşünmeden alabilirsiniz.

This game has been a great addition to our family game nights. The concept is simple enough to learn fairly quickly, but there’s still plenty of strategy involved, which keeps it interesting for both kids and adults. What makes it especially fun is that the maze changes throughout the game. Just when you think you have a clear path to your treasure, someone moves the board and completely changes the route. It keeps everyone engaged and adds a lot of laughs along the way. The game pieces and board are well made, and the artwork is colorful and appealing. The instructions were easy to follow, and after one round everyone understood how to play. I also appreciate that each game feels different, so it doesn't get repetitive. There’s a good mix of planning ahead and adapting when things don't go as expected. Overall, this is a fun, interactive game that brings people together and works well for family game nights. It's easy to learn, entertaining, and one that we keep coming back to.
