The Cogwheel Maze rotating puzzle by Constantin is a high-quality wooden puzzle game that tickles both hemispheres of the brain. It's a double labyrinth that must be started and solved simultaneously. It's quite a challenge to keep track of everything (unless you're a bit squinty). To start, place the two balls in the holes in the middle, but only when the two small rings in the gears are next to each other. You've solved the labyrinth when you've gotten both balls out through the opening at the edge. The gear labyrinth consists of two halves, each containing its own labyrinth. The puzzle is complicated by the gears connecting the two labyrinths. If you turn one side, the other automatically rotates as well. Of course, both sides must be solved simultaneously, not one after the other!
Crafted with attention to detail, this IQ puzzle impresses with precisely milled gears, cleanly guided tracks, and a pleasant feel. Every turn changes the entire system – forward-thinking, spatial thinking, and patience are key. Whether tackled solo or in a duel, the ball labyrinth exerts a pull that's hard to resist. Those who understand the mechanism will experience true aha moments; everyone else will enjoy the challenge of this classic wooden puzzle.
Ideal as a gift for tinkerers, collectors, and design lovers: The compact format fits any desk, and the material makes the puzzle an eye-catcher. Perfect for quick brain teasers at the office, game night, or display cases – robust and durable. Take on the challenge, keep your nerve, and demonstrate dexterity – until both marbles finally find the exit. Ingenious!
