Quick answer
Choose the BRIO Take Along Labyrinth 34100 for ages 3 and up, a compact sealed board and no loose balls during travel. Choose the BRIO PAC-Man Labyrinth Game 34065 for ages 6 and up, a larger tabletop challenge with two control knobs and two metal balls.
Both games ask a player to guide a ball through a maze by changing the board angle. They are not the same product in different artwork. The Take Along model prioritises portability and contained pieces; the PAC-MAN version offers a larger board, two-knob control and a more demanding route.

What makes Take Along Labyrinth easier to carry?
The Take Along Labyrinth is the smaller option at 23 × 17.5 × 4 cm. Its game balls are contained within the sealed unit, which removes the need to keep track of separate balls between play sessions. That combination makes it the practical choice for car rides, visits and compact storage.
The player turns and tilts the board to move the balls through the maze. Because the recommended age begins at 3, it is also the earlier entry point for a child who is new to this style of coordination game.
What changes with the PAC-MAN Labyrinth Game?
The PAC-MAN game is larger at 34.9 × 30.4 × 9.4 cm and is recommended from age 6. Two knobs control the angle of the game plane, while two included metal balls support the maze challenge. The product is for one player at a time, so it works best as a take-turns tabletop activity rather than simultaneous multiplayer play.
The themed route and two-knob control make this the more involved choice for an older child or adult who wants a classic BRIO Labyrinth-style challenge with PAC-MAN presentation.
Which is better for a younger child?
Take Along Labyrinth is the age-appropriate starting point on the published product information: ages 3 and up, compared with 6 and up for the PAC-MAN game. Age guidance is only the first filter. Also consider whether the child is comfortable making small, controlled board movements and staying with a single-player maze.

Which is better for family game time?
PAC-MAN Labyrinth creates a larger tabletop focal point and a clear take-turns challenge. Take Along Labyrinth is quicker to carry and reset. Neither is a conventional competitive board game with several players moving pieces at once.

Is this the same as the Ravensburger Labyrinth board game?
No. These BRIO products are physical tilt-maze games in which a player guides a ball across a board. Ravensburger Labyrinth is a separate sliding-tile board-game family. Check the product name and play mechanism before buying, especially when search results use the word “Labyrinth” for both.
Key takeaways
- Take Along: smaller, sealed and recommended from age 3.
- PAC-MAN: larger, controlled with two knobs and recommended from age 6.
- Neither game needs batteries.
- Choose by age, portability and control style—not by theme alone.
