About this board game

Perplexus Rookie is a single-player three-dimensional puzzle with a listed play time of 10 minutes, inviting you to guide a steel ball through 75 numbered barriers inside a gravity-defying sphere.

Flip, twist, and turn the sphere to keep the ball moving along its tracks. Each barrier presents a different level of difficulty, making the puzzle easy to play while still challenging to complete.

As you navigate the course, Perplexus Rookie provides an engaging way to practise hand-eye coordination and spatial relations. It also develops motor and dexterity skills through hands-on play.

  • 75 numbered barriers of varying difficulty
  • A three-dimensional sphere with steel-ball navigation
  • A domed finish that keeps the ball in place when you succeed
  • No loose pieces, making it great for travel

Designed as the baby of the Perplexus family, this 2011 release offers a compact introduction to the series’ distinctive style of physical puzzle solving. The sphere measures 6 1/2 inches in diameter, giving the challenge a self-contained format for one player.

Whether you are learning the course for the first time or attempting to complete all 75 barriers, Perplexus Rookie combines accessible play with a satisfying test of control, balance, and precision.
