N5-3 Special Edition

The N5-3 – Special Edition is a mechanical wooden maze of formidable difficulty , designed for lovers of subtle and demanding logic puzzles. Behind its sleek design lies an ingenious mechanism where every move counts and the slightest mistake can block all progress.

The name N5-3 comes from the N-shaped or 5-shaped cavities integrated into the sliding elements. These distinctive shapes dictate the possible trajectories and transform each manipulation into an exercise in strategy and anticipation. The objective is clear: to release the small metal ball through the exit hole .

To solve it, you must precisely maneuver the wooden sliders around fixed metal axes until you create a continuous passage allowing the ball to escape. The puzzle requires careful observation of the internal paths, a gradual understanding of the mechanism, and a great deal of patience.

Rated Expert 5/6 , the N5-3 Special Edition may seem accessible at first glance, but it quickly proves to be more complex than it appears.

The meticulous finish and robust materials offer an excellent feel, while the color may vary , making each piece slightly unique.
