The Lonpos 505 consists of twelve multi-colored, multi-geometric, connected beads lying on a divot-like rectangular playing tray. These high-contrasting, colorful pieces are housed in a very lightweight white box which doubles as two playing boards and includes one full-color manual with a total of 480 Rectangle 2-D and 25 Pyramid 3-D challenges.

The Lonpos 505 is self-contained within a compact 3″ × 5.5″, sturdy, latching plastic case, making it a natural to toss in the car for cross country trips and unexpected delays. Purchasing more than one Lonpos 505 allows children to race each other to the solutions. The Lonpos predecessor, Lonpos 303, won many awards, such as the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award 2006, Dr. Toy Best Vacation Children’s Product, and Creative Child Magazine’s Top Toy of the Year Award in the brainteaser games category. Now you get all of that with 202 more puzzles! Marketed for children six years old and older, I think that with occasional parental participation, Lonpos 505 could be used with home-taught children as young as three or four. Because of small pieces, it could be a choking hazard for children under three years of age.
