Couldn't complete the projects
I don't know if it's the quality of the components, problems with the instructions or what…. I gave up and stuffed it in a drawer. I have EE in my academic background so I tried alternative configurations that should work, but did not. But after a successful first few days/projects, the rest couldn't be done because they build on one another and it just didn't work.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend. Faulty product.
Love the idea of this, but we too couldn't get it to work past day 2. Very disappointing.

Day 2 and it doesn't work
Steer clear from this one! Grown adult couldn't get past a possibly defective part in the 2nd day. Would return if I could.

Awesome for future electrical engineers
We got this for our 10-year-old, who had been begging for a kit that would let him play around with different wire configurations. This turned out to be perfect for him. After a few mis-steps where he wasn't paying close attention to which hole to insert the wires into, he figured it out - and he's learning a lot! If he'd been handed all the parts in this kit at once it would have been overwhelming, so he's enjoying the gradual, one-day-at-a-time build-up of difficulty. I will note that this kit would not be appropriate for the average 10-year-old! He's has a laser focus on engineering since he was tiny and was already familiar with the concepts. If you have a future electrical engineer in your life, this is a fantastic advent calendar.

Inadequate Instructions
We got this advent calendar to do as a family and unfortunately we aren't up to the task. My sons (13&12) and I (40) just cannot manage to understand. Next time it might help to print the instructions in color? Thanks. I gave it 3 stars to share the responsility of the failure.

Can you perform any of the games once you have completed the coding?
Verified reply from Iriscelis
Yes, all of the games can be played once it's built.
