This 3D brain-twisting puzzle takes the excitement, challenge, and skill required to solve it even further than the original Brainstring. With more sides, rubber tips, and colored strings to untangle, there's no end to the fun to be had. Brainstring Advanced is a clear, hollow, geometric shape with 14 sides and elastic colored strings stretching across its interior. The puzzle starts off with the strings scrambled, knotted, and tangled, and your job is to untangle them. But how to do that when the strings are on the inside and you're on the outside? The strings are attached at both ends to colored plastic tips on the outside of the shape that can be moved by sliding them along slot-like paths. Moving the tips moves the strings, and the goal is to wind up with a single color on every side, with none of the strings inside touching one another. With concentration and perseverance, it's entirely doable. Brainstring Advanced keeps your fingers active, eyes steady, and your brain crackling with energy.
