Long overdue post but here it is 1 month late =)

This is a HARD puzzle!
I have been working on it on and off and there are some devious tricks in this puppy. Still unsolved, but will hopefully have cracked it before the gold comes out.

Read my blue RevoMaze review for more info on this great puzzle.

The grandfather of RevoMaze!? =)

This labyrinth puzzle intrigued me quite a bit when I saw it. Because it was so similar to the RevoMaze that I’m quite fond of.

All in all only 2000 copies were made, of which most was sold in 1984
This is 1C, is the hardest one of “Blindlabyrint”

Box front

Transcript of the block of text in Swedish of the front follows:
(It’s exactly the same as the English version on the back)

Blindlabyrint är ett nytt problemspel för gamla och unga. Spelaren söker med den lilla vandraren (tapp) den rätta vägen genom labyrinten till den innersta cirkelformiga gången och tillbaka. Detta problem löses endast med känselsinne. Det här spelet hör till svårighetsgraden A, B eller C, av vilka graden C är den svåraste.

Box back

Transcript of the part in English of the back of the box follows:

Blindlabyrinth is a new problemgame for old and young. Player searches with the little wanderer (pin) a path through the labyrinth to the inner ringshaped passage and back. This problem can be solved only with the sense of touch. The game is classified in grades A, B and C of which the grade C is most difficult.

You probably can’t tell by the pictures, but the entire puzzle (maze & sleeve) is made from lightweight metal, probably aluminum. The pin (which is not spring loaded) seems to be made from steel though.

The fit is perfect, but since the pin is not spring loaded and the maze corners are very sharp, makes it a bit tricky to navigate.

This is (at the time I writing this) Chris’s hardest puzzle yet. It took me approx. 12-13 hours of working on the puzzle to get it open. It incorporates some devious “tricks”.

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.

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.
