N5

The N5 is a mechanical wooden maze of formidable difficulty , designed for those who enjoy precise and methodical logic puzzles. Behind its apparent simplicity lies a demanding mechanism, where every move must be carefully anticipated or all progress will be blocked.

The name N5 comes from the N-shaped or 5-shaped cavities in the sliding elements. These shapes dictate the possible movements and make each manipulation strategic. The objective is clear: to release the small metal ball through the exit hole by finding the only correct configuration.

To achieve this, the player must maneuver wooden sliders around fixed metal pins until the passage is completely clear. This simple principle quickly becomes complex, as each move influences subsequent possibilities. N5 requires observation, logic, and a good dose of patience.

Rated DIFFICULT 3/6 , this maze offers a balanced challenge, accessible enough for motivated players, yet deep enough to hold their attention over time. The average completion time varies from 20 minutes to a week , depending on the player's experience and perseverance. As with all puzzles in this category, the difficulty remains subjective.

Handcrafted in Germany , the N5 combines high-quality wood and precisely cut plexiglass . Color may vary , making each puzzle slightly unique. The puzzle is also available in different sizes to suit the preferences of players and collectors.

Designed by Jean-Claude Constantin , a major figure in the world of puzzles, the N5 is part of the tradition of intelligent and elegant mechanical puzzles, renowned for their ingenuity and quality of manufacture.

At once a mechanical maze , a handcrafted object and a sustainable logic challenge , the N5 is an excellent choice for discovering or deepening the world of ball mazes by Constantin.
