Marissa Liu — February 12, 2010 — Art & Design
The Superplexus puzzle is meant to pose a significant challenge to a person’s spatial understanding and manual dexterity. Using a 5/8” wooden marble, the player must maneuver this ball through a wooden, 3-dimensional spherical maze by tilting the acrylic globe encompassing it.
Constructed entirely by hand for more than 400 hours, this luxury head-scratcher can be customized for varying levels of difficulty. The Superplexus puzzle is made from 3 and 6 ply Finnish birch pieces. The sphere must have a minimum of 425 plane changes (turns) to solve the Superplexus puzzle.
