Cast Laby from Hanayama - Review

Take the two pieces of the Cast Laby apart by moving them through the maze. A nicely made cast metal puzzle from Hanayama that is truly amazing in this review.

Based on the original puzzles from Britain's famous puzzle period, this is one that Hanayama has successfully revived in its new form. The key point of this puzzle is decisively navigating its labyrinth, in which exists one point of weakness for you to break through.

Puzzle Master is a Canadian distributor of a large assortment of disentanglement puzzles, wood puzzles, cast puzzles, metal puzzles, wire puzzles, brain teasers, jigsaw puzzles, puzzle boxes, puzzle rings, trick puzzle locks, maze puzzles, puzzle games, boomerangs, chess sets, and other great toys, puzzles and games. The company started because of an interest the owner, Allan Stein, had in collecting wire puzzles. Allan collected these puzzles for a few years before he thought of making them himself. Once he found out that he was able to make the puzzles successfully he thought "Why don’t I try to sell some of the puzzles at craft shows and see if there are people who like them as much as I do". At the craft shows he found that not only did the people like the puzzles, they loved them. These craft shows were the first way that Puzzle Master marketed these puzzles.

After selling at the craft shows for a few years, Allan decided to try and sell at some of the malls in Saskatoon. He rented a temporary location two weeks prior to Christmas and was totally amazed how quickly the puzzles sold. He subsequently ran out of the puzzles in 7 days. It was at that point that he realized that he had a business that was going to be viable. To this day we still have many businesses who sell at temporary locations a few weeks prior to Christmas.

In the beginning Allan made traditional puzzles that had been invented hundreds and even thousands of years ago. Now Allan is taking those traditional designs and adding his own unique touch.

Now Puzzle Master is the number one seller of puzzles online in the world.

I just finished this one and quite enjoyed it to be honest. It is about finding the one right move which I know can be easy for some, but after a few days of not focusing and fiddling with it I decided to sit down and look at and plan it out which worked the charm . I don't think it's a level 9 but it isn't lower than a 7.
