Using the magnet is harder than doing it the regular way. I'm a teacher and it's just like some of my students who work harder to get out of doing work than they would actually doing the work.

Why play the game if you want to cheat? Wouldn't getting a game that you'd enjoy make more sense.

It's just ball placement! You drop one in the arms and it comes out the bottom! I wouldn't buy this again. There are much better toys

Invert the lantern. Twist the rubberized bottom to the right (counterclockwise). There is a three holes for D cells. Place two D cells in the front two holes (those closes to the front of the lantern) with positive side down. Place one D cell in the back with positive side up. Line up the bottom cover with the lantern using the red arrows and twist to the left (clockwise). Voila!

You navigate the ball through the maze and when it gets to the end it causes the sliding lever to open the container to get the money out. I used the ones I bought for geocaches.

It takes a little patience to get it to levitate between the magnets. You have to find the sweet spot in the middle. Then you can spin it.

This is a one person brain teaser type game. Maneuver around the colored pegs, with playing pieces only being placed over same colored pegs. Keep trying until the pieces fit. Carefully follow enclosed levels. Start with the easiest and work up to most challenging level.

These are held to a flat steel "donut" of metal which is itself attached to the mounting surface with a pair of screws. The magnet holds to the steel by only the magnetic pull itself, but that attraction is VERY strong! I suspect, if you are very careful, you may be able to slip a flat-blade screwdriver or strong putty knife under the lip of the magnet, between the magnet and the wall, and pry it away from the steel backing plate it is attracted to. I would caution you in this! There is a very good chance you will damage the wall beneath the magnet, where you are prying against it! The attraction between magnet and plate is that strong! Also, be wary of your fingers when trying to slip your prying device under the lip of the magnet; you will need to use a lot of pressure, and if it slips, it could stab into something! The attraction between that magnet and the metal plate behind it is so strong, I can't think of any way you could simply grab it and pull it away. Perhaps with a suitable clamp, or a very large pair of vice grips? But you're likely to mar the surface of the magnet if you aren't careful. Once you have the magnet pulled away from the backing plate, those can simply be unscrewed from the wall they are attached to.

The instructions are to pull out door and push in to secure. That is it. You have to make the ball go to a certain spot and push it down to open. Don't need the ball cause it doesn't secure

Make sure one set of raised tabs on the outside of the cub are on the top and the other set on the bottom. Grab two sides opposite each other toward the top with one hand; grab the other two sides toward the bottom; and pull slowly. Note how the sides match up. Put the ball on the raised holder inside and slide the sides back together. Note: the outside tabs match up so the cubes can be stacked. Once I did it a couple of times, it became easy to follow-up with the rest. I like the way they stay together and the way they stack.

Hey!In your box you should have recieved a small bag of metal pins with white gloves, and metal strins to hang the crystal balls off of. The metal string have an end with a hook that clams at the top of the unit box that would be mounte ti the ceiling. The bottom has a small loop. Slide a metal pin thru the loop. Then slide the loop thru the top hole of the glass ball. Simply bend the excess metal pin flush on the crystal ball and around the string.

Hi Galen, It's easy! Providing your at an angle of about 45 degrees. Just drop the pick up end on the ball. The pin is what hold the ball in place. Be sure to twist the shaft according to the directions on the shaft to lock it in place, otherwise it"s tough to get the pick up over the ball. Good Luck.

Use an eraser! It's much easier and doesn't damage the map as much as a coin.

You move the ball through the maze. When the ball gets to the end, it triggers a release which unlatches the door so you can get the money out. Once the trigger is released, the ball is automatically reset into the starting position and you have to go through the maze again to reopen the door (assuming you've gotten your money out and reclosed the door)

We just wiggled and pulled at the same time. You don't need the magnet in for it to work. We preferred to use it with out.

The magnet portion just sits on top of the hole and you finagle it to have the controller come out at the right spot. I put it together from the underside and got it through the center first because you have to turn it a bit to get it through the hole. then I put the on/off switch where it belongs in the front.

You have a keyhole for the board to snap into. Drop the board into the larger part of the keyhole and push it back to jam it into the narrower part of the keyhole that should keep the board in place.

You can use the "Wheel of Fortune" mode to get a random student. The light will "spin" for a couple seconds and then land on one of the lights, and that student has to answer. Also, it does come in wireless, but that costs more.
