For our son who just turned 11 and has grown tired of Legos, this was a perfect purchase. It took him hours to build all the sets, which he did over the course of probably 1.5 weeks. He was super proud to be able to do it all by himself. He was able to build one part, play with it, then build other parts, etc. The instructions were very well presented, and the engineering is impressive. The only piece that seems to come apart is the lid which attaches to the steering wheel. The exploring game that comes with the cardboard itself is a little slow paced, but gives him plenty of achievement-based rewards to keep him going. It's pretty awesome to see the vehicle transform from plane to car to sub in any order with just a swap of a joy con. The Labo garage is also a great addition where the demo games and activities are amazing, and give you plenty of room to program your own. Now we just need to figure out where to store all the cardboard sets when he's not playing them.

The product concept is great, but..

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023

Since a big portion of this product is meant to be used together, missing a SINGLE piece of cardboard could affect it greatly. Thus, the 3 star review. I love the nintendo labo but be aware that you may receive duplicates instead of the correct sheets. Reviewers online have experienced the same thing. It is worth the risk, however, so dont let my review prevent you from trying out nintendo labo.

Amazing engineering toy. 2 thumbs up from my kid!

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020

This is an amazing engineering toy. My daughter (8), built it mostly on her own by following the instructions on the switch. It took her about a week of 1 hour sessions. I did sit with her on occasion and helped her pop out the cardboard pieces and it was fun working on it together. I think she learnt about how she might be able to make some neat structures using the techniques she learnt building this toy. The games are fun too. My younger kid didn't have the patience to build it, but she loves driving around in the game.

Every aspect of this build is amazingly engineered, even the mechanisms used by each of the controllers is mind blowing.

We liked it so much that we bought the robo and vr labo kits.

If you are on the fence, buy it, you will not regret it. ( I bought it for twenty five dollars). My daughter gives it 2 thumbs up!

Cardboard fun! Highly recommend!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2019

Highly recommend! My 7yo son spent hours putting each cardboard item together. I’ve never seen him so focused and motivated to build and put something together, more focused and determined than when he builds with his LEGOs. The instructions are visual, step-by-step, and very easy to follow on the Switch or TV (if you dock the Switch). After each item, he would test it out by inserting the Switch or controller(s) into the dedicated slots and play, which motivates him to move onto the next item in the set. He enjoys playing with it alone and with his cousins when they come over. Great buy. Highly recommend. And I still can’t believe it’s ALL cardboard.

Note: it’s all cardboard snap outs(!!). Box comes with something around 30ish snap out sheets. Does get messy with the tiny, small pieces of cardboard left.

Great, engaging game

Great game/build. It took my son all day to build it which was part of the fun. Instructions were very thorough. Game is cute and engaging. Only minus is, if you want to have multiple profiles play the game, you have to run through all the building instructions despite the items already being built.

This kit was packed with content! As usual, there are three sections: Make, Play, and Discover. There are also three vehicle kits to make: the car, submarine, and plane. There are also two "keys" and a spray can you can build.

The directions to building the kids are very simple and easy to follow. The instructions also include cute little quips, adding some character and humor to the whole process. You can move the pieces around on the screen, allowing you to look closely at the models, which are also very true to form. The engineering behind the toy-cons are very ingenious--the pieces fit together perfectly and there are many steps to making them more sturdy.

This kit includes more games than the previous two kits. The adventure mode is jam packed with content but there are other modes like racing, fighting, and decorating. You can also play with two people in certain modes.

In Discover, you can learn how all of the parts work and there are moments when you can see from the point of view of the infrared camera. There are also some very basic engineering and physics concepts discussed, perfect for piquing a child's interest in STEM. Alongside the garage, where you can customize the creations to do different things, there is also a new mode that allows you to reprogram the controls for the games so you can play it differently.

Overall I'd recommend this for anyone who really likes building things. It's a great activity either with kids or to do alone.

So glad we bought it

I was concerned that it would be a waste of time and money (overshadowed by other gifts, instructions difficult or in another language, etc.) but my kiddo was THRILLED with the project. He could follow the instructions without help and it kept him very engaged during the build process. Now that it's all out together, the whole family uses it and enjoys it. Also the entertainment value in watching young kids try to fly a plane into a gas station is fun for the adults also.

Very well put together kit from Nintendo

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

I just started building this kit with my 6 year old. It definitely takes some time but it's really fun to put together. The cardboard is high quality and the directions on the Switch console are awesome. All I can think about when putting this together is how long it must have taken this engineering team to plan all of this out. Definitely high quality kit from Nintendo. Just be aware, it is not a quick build. You would need at least 5 hours to just build all of the pieces but that's part of the fun. Can't wait to finish it and start playing the games!

I have to say I am impressed

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020

My 11 YO wanted this and the variety pack for Christmas and we got them for him although I didn't expect too much. I have to say I am pretty impressed so far and he has only built a few of the projects from each. The cardboard controllers are sturdier than you would expect but he likes it so much that he is already worried the cardboard will wear out before he is done with the games. Before these he was playing zelda and mario cart but since he got these he plays them almost exclusively. He builds the cardboard controllers himself with almost no help from us and they work fine.He is racing his motorcycle around the track as I type this and usually carries the house from the variety pack around with him playing with the little creature that "lives" in there.

My 12 yr old autistic son can put together thousands of legos in a few hours - THIS has kept him busier than anything we've ever gotten him!!! He's already put together several of the pieces and is enjoying them while continuing to build.
The instructions seem to be clear for him - he's not been frustrated at any point.
The FUN of play is wonderful!
The cardboard is very sturdy and has stood up to my younger children
HOURS and HOURS of fun
