Shaped in a pyramid, Pyrra is made of maple and walnut hardwoods for beauty and complexity. The challenge is to build the pyramid in various color design patterns. Many other geometric and free-form creations can also be made.
The idea for this puzzle from a customer. What a riot this one is. You have 9 pegs, all of different lengths, and you have 9 holes, each of different depths, and you have an angled surface to mount them into. The object is to insert the pegs such that they all align up at the same height. Sounds easy doesn't it.... HA! Keeps you smiling and it is something anyone will attempt. Good solution time is 20 mins.

Place the ball in one side and escape from the other side - tough but enjoyable.The maze is made from heavy cast aluminum. The diameter of the maze is 3.5" across. The maze has a couple of scratches and light wear as shown in the pictures. The movement is completely smooth.
