Q: What do I do with the obstacles?
A: Use obstacles to challenge your concentration skills! Plug the pins on the bottom of each obstacle into the sockets on top of the console and create whatever obstacle courses you can imagine. You'll discover hundreds of combinations!


Q: Which obstacles are the most challenging?
A: The Teeter-Totter: The holes at the ends of the teeter-totter create air turbulence. You'll need to relax to allow the ball to settle on the obstacle and roll to the other end.

The Propeller Wheel: The propeller-wheel is tricky because it's a one-way obstacle. Unlike all of the other obstacles (which can be navigated by traveling around the console in either direction), you can only pass the propeller wheel by traveling in one direction — either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on how you attached this obstacle to the console. If you travel in the correct direction, you'll be able to spin the ball around the propeller wheel and continue on your way; however, if you travel in the wrong direction, this obstacle will block your path and the ball will become stuck.

When plugging the propeller wheel onto the console, check the arrow painted on the obstacle's top — it points in the direction you need to travel around the console in order to pass this obstacle.

The Cannon: When used as a stand-alone obstacle, the cannon is very difficult — try to navigate the ball through the cannon's base without getting shot out!


Q: Which obstacles are the easiest?
A: Ring Towers
Maze Cages


Q: Do I need to use all the obstacles?
A: You don't need to use all of the obstacles; in fact, you probably shouldn't. The course may become too crowded to navigate.


Q: How do I build an obstacle course?
A: Follow these simple guidelines when building your own obstacle course:
1. You can position obstacles anywhere around the console except over the two start spaces.
2. Be sure to leave at least one empty space (set of sockets) between each obstacle.
3. Do not place any obstacles over the calibration point except the teeter-totter.
4. You can only travel past the propeller wheel in one direction (see the arrow on the propeller wheel) — make sure you set it up in the direction you want to go.
