If your bored during the snow storm and need something to do.

And just FYI I miss when they had toys in the box instead of these things.

        Near as I can tell it’s the only route that works.

        Also, it’s super easy if you start at 50 and work down. All the “tricky” forked pathes are set to lead you wrong if you’re starting from one. Since there’s only one winning route, by starting at 50, you never have issue.

            You mean a correct route? I feel like I’m in bizzaro world. Go straight down from start and you’re good to not skip 6.

              There’s 2 correct routes that don’t skip any numbers. The one you mentioned, and the one shown in the pic (the one shown skips a couple numbers, yes, but it can actually pick up those numbers without any trouble.)

            I didn’t check the route pictured. I just solved it and then came to the comments.

            What I said stands. Start at 50 and work backwards. You pretty much can’t screw it up.

                Technically there’s three other combinations besides OP’s, if you wanna be a dick about it.

                But they’re all that same path with just minor changes before hoping back on that same path again.

                  There’s another correct route that doesn’t skip any numbers

                  Could you point out the part where I was being a dick? Jeez.

    I found that there are 5 different solutions with several diverging paths:

    I used to do a lot of mazes as a kid and one of the tricks is to often start from the terminus and go backwards. There are significantly less branches doing that in this case especially.

    Huh. A pen and paper little puzzle format that I’ve never seen before.

    I wonder what this whole category of games is even called. Used to see them in things like kids magazines mostly.

    just start from the 50 side and count down yall it’s super easy, don’t start at the 1 like a chump. Around the halfway mark is when it is the most complex with more choices at the 25–28 area

      I’ve solved this before and wondered why it was so easy, the “trick” here is that you have to end with 50, so that’s not the right path. The instructions say to use 1 - 50.

    I’m surprised General Mills (and other cereal companies) haven’t put the treasure trove of stuff like this that they already own into a branded app or website. It would make good promotional material. I’m reminded of when you could get free Halloween records on the back of Boo Berry and Count Chocula.
