I was asked if I wanted to check out Gravity Maze by ThinkFun. I love puzzles so I was happy to take a look. Opinions of the game are 100% my own.
Gravity Maze is a marble run with the challenge of a logic puzzle. Like other ThinkFun games there are 60 puzzles ranging from easy to expert. There is only one solution for each puzzle. The concept is simple. Start at point A and get your marble to point B. How you do it and what you have to work with is the challenge. There are five different types of towers that you can use to get your marble to the goal but you can only use those that the card tells you. Then it is up to you how to arrange the towers to get the marble through the maze. Here is a video that explains the game and shows it in action.
When I play these games I generally start at the first puzzle and go as far as I can. I stick with a puzzle until I complete it and don’t cheat. Eventually I move through all 60 cards.

It is sort of a running joke in my office that when something needs to be captured digitally then I will do it. I generally have my backpack with me that has all of my Samsung Imagelogger cameras and so I always have a camera on hand with which to capture the moment. So this morning when the sun came up and looked amazing one of my co-workers remarked, “Someone with 3 cameras should take a picture of that.” I wish I had my head about me at 6:30am after 36 hours of work for the weekend to have said, “Well, it won’t be me, I have five.”
Yes, I am up to five cameras from Samsung as part of the Imagelogger program and soon (I’m hoping sooner than soon) I’ll have the brand new NX1 in my hands. That is a professional grade camera that can shoot 4K video. I’m excited to see what I can do with it.
I spent the day with Eva today. It was her first ever sick day from school. She had a pretty bad sore throat and was stuffed up and generally in lousy spirits. We played and I tried to get her to rest as much as possible. She helped me with a couple of upcoming toy reviews so that helped brighten her spirit. She even took some of the photos for one of the reviews. I was really impressed with her camera work. I wasn’t even with her when she did it. She composed the shots all herself.
