The kids is into board games, card games and puzzles.

Thought this looked cool but then there are a lot of littler kids in the pictures.

Is he known to like that kind of thing? In general, it seems you've already answered Yes. But does he more specifically like abstract geometric puzzles?

If so, how does the difficulty level match to his skill?

I believe it is the type of thing he enjoys. I am not sure what the skill level of the toy is, other than one woman in the comments said she had been trying to get it back to the original cube for three weeks and hadn't yet succeeded. Which make me think the skill level might not be that low.

Get it.
He will figure it out, eventually. He wont always be 13.

Either he will learn to like such things, even more so, or he will move onto other things.
Get it.

As a fellow 13 year old boy, I'd rather have an autographed Tatum jersey and vape while I watch you try to figure out The Shapeshifting Box for my TikTok channel.

Yes, if you want your 13-year-old to open a gateway to Hell
