Quick teaser: C-Maze puzzle

 Quick teaser to announce you a new puzzle that should be released soon: the C-maze


Currently it's on a fundraising campaign, see HERE

 


 From my point of view, it looks a super interesting puzzle for several reasons:

-> it can be carried with you as it's not a super big puzzle

-> it looks challenging

-> you can change the pannels and create more and more difficult mazes, for hours and hours of fun !


Bid on the campaign to get your puzzle before everyone else !! :)


And there is also a website, see HERE

It still needs improvements, but should be up and runing soon.


Enjoy the rest of the year and stay safe !!

My top 10 puzzles for 2020

2020 has been a bad year for many reasons but luckily the designers are still very mean for the puzzlers' mind and thus several nice puzzles have been released.

Of course I will only speak about puzzles that I have or have played with.

So I may disregard some very great puzzles, sorry !


It's always difficult to rank puzzles, so I will just put randomly the puzzles among my list.

The link of my reviews will be written as well as where to find the puzzles if these informations are available/ applicable.


I am aware that 2020 is not yet finished, but I do think that if you want to get yourself a nice present for X-mas or want something before the end of the year, then it's time to choose and that would be a pitty that I tell you at the very end of the year.

 

1/ Snow Block by Philip Black

The best 3D-printed puzzle so far and above all one of the best sequencial discovery puzzles!

1kg that will challenge you!
