Product Description

The Big Ball of Whacks introduces several exciting new design features. Bigger than the original, award-winning Ball of Whacks, it has 192 rare earth magnets inside so it looks and feels hefty in your hand! The 36 magnetic design pieces include two entirely new pyramid-shaped elements. There are 24 Whack pieces, six Half-Whack pieces, and six flat Whack pieces. This complex structure presents a greater challenge in reconstructing the Ball shape. It also opens up far more hands-on creative options as you design your own shapes. Includes 96-page Guidebook

The Big Ball Of Whacks is also available as a multi-color version, which makes an intriguing brainteaser puzzle.

Also available in Multi-Color

WARNING: NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 14 YEARS OF AGE. Keep away from younger children, pets, and pacemakers. This product contains rare earth magnets that can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Great care is taken during the production process to securely seal the magnets inside each pyramid by means of ultrasonic welding. However, this product is not intended to be thrown or otherwise abused. Use only as described in the accompanying book. If plastic pyramids become damaged, dispose of product properly.

Buy the original ball- the big version isn't as good!
by Jeff (2 out of 5 stars)

I used to have the original ball of whacks and I LOVED it (it was stolen because it is so awesome). So I thought the BIG ball would be a great replacement. Unfortunately, the added pieces are awkward and difficult to put back together. I have it as a desk toy (I'm a counselor working with high school students), and the BIG version frustrates students. The regular ball of whacks was a perfect fidget toy, but the bigger ball is just annoying to put back together. The new triangular piece is the worst because it isn't symmetrical, so it only fits in ONE way. I wish I would have returned it, and just bought the original again.

This thing is fun to play with

This thing is fun to play with, but not a great fidget toy. It's REALLY large. bigger than can fit in the palm of my hand. And the pieces make a lot of noise when they click together (so if I'm on the phone, I'm not likely to use it because it would be distracting to the caller). It is easy to put back together into it's sphere shape though.

The twin boys I got this for loved it. Have to get another in a different color for more creations.

Love coming up with new inventions. As others have said the pieces have to be oriented properly to really "stick" but I haven't found that limitation as cumbersome, it just forces me to figure out how to align them differently and still achieve my design.

IT. IS. AWESOME.

UPDATE: we have now had this for several months and grown ups and kids alike still love it. Friends of all ages come over and are taken in by it. Haven't lost a piece yet. I think the single-color one is better to start with--much more soothing. I will definitely be getting the X and Y balls for holiday gifts for our family. It's not just fun--kids really do get a sense for spatial relationships and geometry. Worth every penny.

We've only had it for 24 hours, so who knows if the love will last, but so far grown ups and kids in our house are really enjoying the big ball of whacks. glad i got the big one. i imagine it is much more satisfying to work with than the small one. Kids are 10 and 7 and fighting for turns all day. making cool shapes and noticing patterns. Magnetic construction materials are very engaging for kids and adults and this one certainly is. Was a bit of a splurge, but already I can see it is going to be worth it.
