Progress

Designer/Maker: Junichi Yananose

Size: 11x8x5cm

Notes: Solve a maze by coordinated sliding between the handle and the panel underneath it. When solved you will find a secret compartment sized to hold business cards. The sliding panel is two-sided: the top maze is orthogonal and relatively easy; the opposite maze is oriented at 45 degrees, requiring significantly more coordination between the panel and the handle. Light scratch on handle.
