I recently found my original Perplexus and it was perfect timing. I was having such stress i could NOT even play my video games. I found out turning off everything and sitting playing this helped me immensely be able to focus and calm down. I played with it several days in a row then ordered the Epic. Such a brilliant puzzle toy. I think anyone would like having one. Thanks so much for inventing such a great thing.
Thank you so much for such a meaningful comment. It is important to disengage from media and technology once in a while and put focus on something else that can allow you to regroup. I need to do that myself too, as does everyone. I appreciate that you found Perplexus to be of use to you in this way.
@@McGinnisArtistry thank you. I hope by buying the Epic it makes you some money. I don't know if it works like the record industry.... I am thoroughly enjoying both. It sounds trite...they have enriched my life. 👍
This is a fantastic teaching instrument. After learning about Perplexus from a friend, I purchased all 4 currently available versions. Thank you Mr. McGinnis for this amazing "toy". So far I've been able to complete original from the start without falling off. My daughter (4) can complete most of Start 1 on original. Rookie is still in the mail, ToysRus didn't have it in stock. I'm looking forward to her solving Rookie. I haven't yet completed Epic, but have gotten as high as 105.
I absolutely love the Perplexus puzzles, probably my second favorite toys next to Legos, they're just so good! It's a shame Spinmaster doesn't appear to be selling all of them anymore, Rookie/Rebel, Original/Beast, and Epic are all still being sold and even got rebrands in 2019, but it seems like Twist is no longer being produced for some reason, which is a shame because it's a really cool one. I recently got the new Perplexus Portal for Christmas and I'm really looking forward to trying it out, I'm trying to get as many of the Perplexus models as I can! I know I'll probably never be able to but I would love to someday get a chance to play your giant custom-made museum-level sculpture ones, that would be awesome.
Thank you so much! Legos are awesome too :-) I hope to get more of the wooden ones to museums around the world over time. They take a while to make, and I am nearly finished building my new studio.
Michael, thank you so much for your gift to the world. My son and I our enjoying your Perplexus puzzles. Little does he know, he has new one arriving for his birthday next week. I enjoy your comment that the puzzle is a metaphor for life, you fall off and just get straight back on again!
Very cool hearing how you borrowed from old world architecture as the premise of the game. Great to see a cool old school, hands on game. More amazing is how you stay grounded. Continued success and good fortune to you!
Really fast way to get from Practice B to 125 in Epic, go along to 60, to get there faster you can jump over some of those walls in the way, then at 60 you can go to 62 and jump off there, same with 61, but the hardest is to jump over the wall at 60 and into 125, if anyone else can find a fast way to get from 1 to 60 you are set to go from 1 to 125
Hello Moonlight Spark, I built the one in the video especially for trade shows and touring. However, many rears later we did make a PERPLEXUS GIANT, which is based upon this design, with a color change and added track. It was available through Amazon and a website giantperplexus.com/. It is not available at this time through retail, but there are a few still available. I suggest you use the CONTACT page on that site. It goes to the original Giant distributor. If you don't get a response, please comment again.
Hello Mr. McGinnis. I have been enjoying Perplexus since August in my free time during my Biology class. I recently got the Rookie, Original, and Epic for Christmas and have beaten them all many times. I am hoping to conquer the Twist once I buy one. Are you working on any new models of Perplexus at the moment?
Honestly the fun is the difficulty and its addicting! Ive only played one but it was pretty fun! I havent played one in years and I havent been looking into more recent history of it though...
@@rangerocket9453 What dedication! I love that! Well, I have NEVER finished my own very first hand made design that I made in 1979. It is small, but so difficult! Really fun, but geez. Thank you for being diligent and for being a fan for so long. This means a lot.
Great game to help people develop their 3D skills and concentration. Should be used in kinesitherapia to help disabled or aged people to recover micro movements ability. Thank you for this invention.
DarkKnight177 ....? Don't know if you misunderstood my statement or not. I'm not aware of these BIG perplexi being produced for purchase. I have regular sized perplexi.

"Only one person has finished this one"..... That puzzle has obviously never met my stubbornness.
This game is a masterpiece, very underrated

I have build a robot that will solve the game for me! I would love to show him!

These games provide a great time sink....I mean break.... at work.
Great puzzle, we go through these things really fast.

Hi Michael where can I buy the mega model like in the video.

I saw these in silicon valley. They had the regular and the epic, although the regular perplexus was turned into a bong lol
I have solved every single perplexus except perplexus warp.

I love these puzzles. Best gift I've ever gotten I believe.
I'm also glad that they are Canucks fans. Disappointed Canucks fans.
Go Wild!
I only have the superplexus and only made it up to level 99 in about 5 or 6 minutes, id like to know where i can buy the epicplexus, thx
let the man talk lady...!!!
Hey Micheal. If your still teaching , Why not make a new perplexus as a copy of the large addictaball with 138 obstacles. Call it Perplexus Sizzle.
I haven't tried the Rookie, but I've beat the Original and got to the last part of the stairs in the Epic (I haven't got a clue what level that is).
How much??!?! Does anyone know?
Honestly the fun is the difficulty and its addicting!
Ive only played one but it was pretty fun!
I havent played one in years and I havent been looking into more recent history of it though...
my ap physics teacher has this... im 16 and i cant beat it :(
2023 - finished epic !
Hey, how long did it take from when you first tried it out?
@@McGinnisArtistry if i had to guess… 8 yrs or so? (It was my first perplexus)
I figured out 80 - 81 on how to line it up

Completed perplexus classic, the perplexus rookie, and the perplexus epic.
Great game to help people develop their 3D skills and concentration. Should be used in kinesitherapia to help disabled or aged people to recover micro movements ability. Thank you for this invention.
I found the epic and death star ones at Walmart the epic was $30 and the death star was $40 but it lights up and makes noise
I have all of them. Except the Perplexus Warp.
Me too im getting the perplexus warp soon
Epic has been totally addictive. I am up to level 75 and still haven't reached the coolest looking challenges.
that is incredable
that is so cool micheal. I actually have perplexus epic,i got it for Christmas.the one I allways wanted was perplexus original
I'm able to go to stage 26 in 16 seconds.
Lol that’s easy
I have this game it's freakin awsome
AIRBRUSH ARTISTS LOVE IT!
i know i NEED a massive one
like pc or iphon version
Christi looks like she's trying to smuggle one out of the studio.
I would pay for a Perplexus Globe. Really, I'd pay a lot of money for it if this was to be produced.
U can get it on eBay
DarkKnight177 ....? Don't know if you misunderstood my statement or not. I'm not aware of these BIG perplexi being produced for purchase. I have regular sized perplexi.
+JeffreyQProductions I meant the epic,u can get it on ebay
I don't know if u can buy the Huge One
Oh and btw I subscribed to u

they are awesome
I almost did it on a different version
cool stuff
me encanta
I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the brooding Tom 24-30
i beat the rookie, at 92 in the original, at 42 in the epic.
The news corespondent lady is so annoying let the man behind the product explain it and quit cutting him off with obvious observations
What, glasses and a beard? :P
Christie looks like she's smuggling one off the set!
i beat the rookie, original. still at 15 in twist. and 50-somthing in epic
TWIST IS INPOSIBLE!!!!!!!
I have the giant one
kinda looks like steve jobs
I beat epic :)
Now beat twist
@m4s73rk1d117 amazon;look up "Perplexus Epic"
@TheBroodingTom twenty dollars
I wish the reporter stopped talking in-between his sentences. Very annoying.
