The second in the series, this is a step up from the blue. It took me a good 9-10 hours of working on the puzzle to finally get the core out.
Read my blue RevoMaze review for mor info on this great puzzle.

(My lock is currently loaned out to a friend, so I have not been able to take my own photo of it yet.)
This lock has a few tricks up it’s sleeve, though the first one is fairly obvious.
It’s a really solid lock with a good weight to it. Unfortunately it ain’t obvious if you manage to open the lock because the hatch ain’t spring loaded.
I like to think that I would have managed to open the lock without solution, had I known this. Overall a great quality tricklock. =)

The first in a series of five. You navigate “blind” in a maze by turning the shaft that’s surrounded by the blue sleeve. The goal is to get to the end of the maze so you can remove the shaft completely, and get the core out from the shaft. There waits a signed certificate with a registration number and a transparent map.
The registration number will get you a place on the leaderboard and in the cash prize tournament.
The map will give you clues to the series code, which if you solve (in time) guarantee a place in the tournament finals. More info about this on http://www.revomaze.co.uk/
The best part about these puzzles is the sense of progression and satisfaction as you progress in the maze. This is a GREAT puzzle and will last a long time.
The blue (the easiest one) took me approx. 5-6 hours of working on it to get it open.
