Laser maze by Thinkfun games? Has anyone played this yet?

[Ehgemus]

So I bought this game for my kids birthday in hope that it will get them more interested in something other than video games. To be honest I'm pretty excited about it myself and will probably play with it more then my kids will. I can't wait to play it Sunday, I mean give it to my kid. Lol
Here is a video of it. http://youtu.be/D9apzb3BOm8

Let me know what you thank about it.
I bought it at target if you would like to get one.:beer:

Replace that ridiculous red with a 3W 445nm diode for infinite fun
Oh wait.. You said it's for your kids

What was the price?

I will probably switch it out with a 5mW



Starlight. The price is about 24.00

Thanks. I could have looked since you said where you bought it.

Would be interesting to mod one with a 100mW 532nm and black beamstop walls on the sides

That looks really cool I'm sure your kids will love it. I personally think it is a great game. Nice post!

That's awesome! You should make your own with a weak 445, and phosphor targets

What is the phosphor? Does it light up real good?

 

[RYDorDIE278]

phosphor is e.g like the yellow die part of say an XML emitter, i havent tried pointing 445nm at any phosphor but it turns it into a more usable light, just like how the new BMW laser/phosphor headlights work

Looks like they make a more adult version.

Except that red beam is nowhere near visible in person... BUT, WE, HERE AT LPF can make it

I love how they say the laser is completely eye safe.

So I got to play the laser game yesterday with my son and we got to level 20. The levels of the game goes from 0 to 60 and of course It gets harder as you go. Overall I think it is a pretty cool game and it really test your mind to figure out each level. I would recommend it to anyone here that likes this kind of stuff.

Wow, Khet looks great. Amazon has it in stock for $38. There's also a version for $50 arriving the 28th with 2 bonus beam splitters.
