Melissa & Doug Suspend Family Game (31 pcs) - Wire Balance Game, Family Game Night, Family Activities, Games For Kids Ages 8+

Why It's Fun for All Ages- Easy to Learn, Hard to Master: The concept is simple—add rods to the growing structure without causing it to tumble. Yet, the challenge grows with every turn, making it exciting for kids and adults alike.- Inclusive Gameplay: Whether you're playing with young children, teens, or adults, everyone can enjoy the thrill of steady hands and strategic placement. Even grandparents can join in on the fun!Different Ways to Play- Classic Mode: Follow the instructions and take turns adding rods to the structure. The player who causes the structure to fall loses the round!- Speed Round: Add a timer for each turn to amp up the intensity and laughter.- Team Play: Pair up players and strategize to keep the balance going. This variation is perfect for family gatherings or larger groups.- Creative Builds: Skip the competition and let everyone collaborate to build the tallest or most intricate structure possible. This mode is great for younger children or when you want a relaxed play session.- Challenge Mode: Introduce house rules like “only use your non-dominant hand” or “blindfold one player” to keep the game fresh and exciting.What Makes It Stand Out- Educational Fun: Suspend helps improve hand-eye coordination, focus, and problem-solving skills.- Durable Quality: The pieces are well-made, with a smooth finish that ensures safety for kids.- Compact and Portable: The game comes in a neat package, making it easy to store and take along for vacations or trips.

This game was recommended to us by my son's occupational therapist, as he needs help with fine motor skills and gentle hand motions. I'd never heard of this game before. It definitely requires a steady, gentle, slow, precise hand. The whole family has enjoyed it. It's easy to figure out how to play/use it. Can be fun for just one person or a small group. Kids and adults alike can play and have fun. Think Jenga, but with metal rods and more room for creativity.

Purchased this for an 8 yr old boy, and his 4 yr old cousin was very interested. It is interesting and very interesting to play. There are many ways to play and it is very challenging. Keeps kids busy and is pretty much unbreakable. Wires that you build and balance are very sturdy and not dangerous for correct age group. Great for adults as well, or mix your group. Would be fun adult party game on game night, or play it by yourself for a challenge. Worth the money and well liked by at least 3 different ages at the family gathering. Should be played at the table or hard surface area. Would purchase again for a gift.

Love this! I've bought this for my family and as a gift for a friend of my child. We have spent very good moments playing while the kids learn to have patience and think on the next movement.The pieces are made in a great quality, very easy to storage, super fast assembly, not heavy

Great game, but definitely for older kiddos. As an adult, it was slightly difficult and frustrating for me. If you have patience, give it a shot!

Had the suspend game open for 15 minutes, and my 8 year old, unprompted, can't stop saying "epic, fun, this is the best game ever!" And all other positive words he can think of. We played a quick round with it and my 12 year old keeps exclaiming how fun it is. Right now the 8 year old is trying to see all the different combinations that can be made before the tower falls to the table and if he can use all of each colored piece, etc.I like how easy this game is. I think my 5 year old will be just as excited to play it as well. I love games that teach and can be used in many ways. This game teaches weight scales and what can tip them, in the most basic sense. When we played it as a game, I honestly didn't read the rules, but told my kids that you take tuns rolling and laying down the color. When the tower falls, you start over; so there are no winners or losers. They were fine with those rules and enjoyed just seeing where they could place the next piece. As an adult, I was highly interested too!

Grandkids love this game. It is so challenging and fun. I love it too!

We have loved this game for years and will never stop. Easy to learn. It's so unique and is always a hit to play with Friends and other Family. Bought it as a gift for someone's birthday recently because I'm certain they're going to love playing it with their Family.
