What age is appropriate for mechanical brain teasers?

Reviewer consensus

Most kits in this category are rated 14+ by the manufacturer because of small parts and assembly complexity. Speedcubes and the classic Rubik's Cube are rated 8+. Escape-box puzzles like the Tesla Box are designed for adults and teens; r/PuzzleBox threads note the difficulty can frustrate younger solvers.
