FAQs
Does the set require an app or computer?
No, this is a completely screen-free coding experience that uses button-based programming on the mouse.
How many batteries does it need?
The robot mouse requires 3 AAA batteries, which are not included in the set.
Can multiple sets be combined?
Yes, you can combine multiple sets to create larger, more complex mazes for advanced challenges.
What is the recommended age range?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To start, install three AAA batteries into the base of the mouse using a small screwdriver. To assemble the maze, snap the grid pieces together on a clear floor space, then insert the maze walls into the grid slots to create your path. The mouse is a standalone system and does not require a computer or tablet to operate. When finished, ensure all pieces are stored in a dry place to prevent the plastic grid connectors from warping. Wipe the mouse clean with a dry, soft cloth, and avoid using water or harsh chemicals on the electronic components.
