I bought 3 of these for gifts and one to have at my desk because they are so much fun! The recipients were between 11 and 25 years old and they all loved playing with their Shashibo. Now, as one of us gets a new one in the office, inevitably, interest sparks again. They are so pretty! As you play with them, the soft clickety-clack of the magnets is relaxing. I am sure some people actually try to make a particular design, but I take a more organic approach - flipping it around until something cool appears and then Voila, look at that! The closed cube design is deceptively small at just under 2.5", when it can be over 7" across wide open. Some are shiny and some are matte finish, but each has 4 patterns within one cube. Use the app for inspiration or free style like I do and be surprised! ~Sara
