Description

This is surprisingly unique among puzzles where there isn't anything that you need to deduce or puzzle out. It's just a clear acrylic path that you need to manipulate a steel ball bearing to get to the notch on the other side (left to right, or vice versa).

Judging from the name, you would think that there are branching paths and dead ends, but nope! It's actually a labyrinth since there is only one path you can follow. Despite that, it's very easy to get confused and end up back-tracking back to where you originally started thanks to the clear acrylic playing tricks on your eyes. I'm sure that could be interpreted as a metaphor for life in some ways.

I've found it a calming and Zen experience working the ball down a 3.4 meter-long path and I recommend this puzzle to anyone who enjoys having a simple puzzle to work through at times. It's great for non-puzzlers as well and has very nice packaging.

I accept Paypal, but there are no extra Paypal fees, since I consider it to be the responsibility of the seller rather than the buyer.

I accept Transferwise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS.

Buyer chooses the shipping speed, First Class or Priority.
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

Tenchi is a fun little assembly puzzle that Cubic Dissection made from Fredric's design. It's an "anti-slide" puzzle where all of the pieces have to put into the square and positioned around the single cube notch in a way that none of the pieces can slide right back out of the square on either end. It sounds impossible, but I promise that it's very doable even if you have never tried this style of puzzling before.If it ends up being too confusing or demanding to fully solve, I have a solution Bu...

Rattler's Tail by Jesse Born

Selling Rattler's Tail to raise funds for a new puzzle!Rattler's Tail is a tricky puzzle that left me stumped after each step, but I had a lot of fun solving it! It does a good job of living up to it's theme of the Wild West considering it's based around the rattler snake which is iconic to the setting.In either case, this is a puzzle in excellent shape, only been solved twice ever, and comes with the original certificate and shipping box it first came to me directly from Jesse! The starting auc...

Vertigo by Dee Dixon

Vertigo definitely lives up to its name considering how easy it is to go around and around in circles with this puzzle!It's a good thing that it's so pretty and nice to look at considering how long I spent just staring at it like an idiot lost on the next step to do! I liked it more than most of Dee's other works. It has some very nice steps that I was impressed by and liked to repeat just for the tactile pleasure of executing these steps.I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of c...

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

Does anyone remembers Oskar's Matchboxes? The solver had 5 matchboxes with a square shell and a box attached to it at different spots from piece to piece, and then they had to be put them together so all 5 boxes would fit inside another matchbox. It was a very interesting puzzle with 4 cavities to store small items inside and people had fun finding multiple ways to put the boxes together. It was fairly popular and not the only one of it's type! Matchbox Play Six by Olexandre Kapkan upped the cou...
