As the owner of all the available balls of perplexus I zugelgt me this UFO. The difficulty level is relatively high - but it's not true that it is not feasible for children. My son (8 years old) had after 2 days completely solved it (I, however, so far not yet). However, my son has been through all our other perplexus - and is therefore not a beginner.
The outer plastic is much thinner (slightly flexible) than for example in the perplexus - is nevertheless not yet gone kapputt. I find it at this price quite a great success - but not for beginners.
