Cool.
I like it. It's not too difficult but it is interesting and it is comfortably solvable if you're any good at mapping or visualising paths. I can't find any fault with the mechanism or finish either - no rubbing or binding parts etc. It's also appreciably bigger than a Revo 0_o

I have now solved the Loki puzzle and I agree that this is a great puzzle with good quality, mechanics and finish. I think it is a hard puzzle to understand but that will make it just more fun and there is not just one trick or feature in the puzzle. You have 7 different problems to understand during your journey to the end (not just a maze). You can always clearly hear where you are and if you have made progress, but you have the same problem here as with the Revomaze, to understand the inside :)

It took me 5-10 hours to solve the puzzle and it is really fun to solve it again. Do not miss this great puzzle!

Thank you for that little review! I was eyeing this puzzle but was concerned about what the actual puzzling would be like. It sounds like it may be pretty enjoyable then! That'll be a nice addition to my metal puzzle collection one day.

If you have any concerns, just send them an email. I've met Ant and Lee a couple of times - they're good guys.

I have had my Loki for a little under a year and I haven't even managed to get into the maze! :o :? I can only seem to go up and down the entrance path the full length of the puzzle. :(

What I can't get my head around is how the rings affect the maze. Having briefly seen the maze I know what to expect, but I missed the explanation and demonstration of the 'ring structure ' and how they 'block' routes off.

If someone could possibly give me an explanation of how the rings affect the maze or maybe just how to get into the maze (ie. what position to have the rings in), probably via PM, so as not to spoil it for others, that would be a big help :D
