FastMaze 1

To solve FastMaze 1, you must navigate the four brass pins through the stacked aluminum mazes until it comes apart into the seven component pieces. Since all elements interact, this is more difficult than it might seem! Making space to allow one move will block others. Finding a solution will take time as you learn the interactions and limitations of each maze piece.

There are three FastMazes, each in increasing difficulty. FastMaze 1 has a level 52.24.28.10.9.14 solution, with 137 moves required for complete disassembly. Rotations are allowed and sometimes necessary, but no guarantee they will help! The brass pins unscrew for an easy reset using the included instructions should you get hopelessly lost. No force is necessary at any time.

FastMaze 1 is precision crafted from machined aluminum and solid brass. The puzzle does not show any laser cutting marks as cheaper metal puzzles often do. Each piece was custom milled, and the attention to detail is apparent. Every maze edge is micro-chamfered for a smooth feel and easy movement. The plates are finished with fine sandblasting, similar to high-end electronic goods, and are clear anodized which makes them scratch and tarnish resistant. The tight tolerances guarantee smooth movement and make it a joy to pick up and play.

Also available are FastMaze 2 and FastMaze 3, each increasing in difficulty, as well as FastMaze 0 which is the smallest and easiest of the four.

This puzzle ships assembled. The solution is available upon request.

Handling Metal Puzzles
All metals tarnish over time. Residual oil and salt from handling speed up the process and may leave undesirable fingerprints. Occasional use of our Metal Puzzle Polishing Kit with a coat of Renaissance Wax will keep your metal puzzles in tip-top shape! The brass pins can be removed and shined with any standard brass polish, but we do not recommend you use polish on the plates as it may damage the finish.
