Re: A new claim to the worlds hardest puzzle
David (the designer of these puzzles) posted about them on the Twisty Puzzles Forum. I sent him a link to this thread here.
Needs to be updated!

Re: A new claim to the worlds hardest puzzle
Well, me being the sucker for metal puzzles, I have just made my pledge. Now left only 2 rewards.TheWaddler wrote:I think it's too ambiguous!!Paradox wrote:That's how I read it as well.Naz737 wrote:I read it as 94GBP gets you the puzzle where the retail price will likely be 150GBP if this all works.

I read it as GBP94 gets you the puzzle, which otherwise you would have to buy at retail price of GBP149 later (if the project funding is successful)....

Re: A new claim to the worlds hardest puzzle
That £94 you pledge is to help set up the company. You then get to buy the limited edition puzzle that only pledgers can purchase. OH and the discount price as mentioned.
I cant see you getting the puzzle out of it though. With them having to honour a maze to every person that pledged £94 upwards that would defeat the object of raising the money in the 1st place as they would not have nearly that amount left after producing that many 'pledger mazes'

Re: A new claim to the worlds hardest puzzle
I really can't get over how much this looks like the Crypteks USB Stick I backed on Kickstarter almost a year and a half ago. I still backed it.

Re: A new claim to the worlds hardest puzzle
Just to clarify. If I back this project, nothing comes off my credit card unless the goal is reached right? Has anyone ever backed anything on kickstart and had any problems?

Re: A new claim to the worlds hardest puzzle
I've backed a few things and never had any issues. And yes, nothing is charged unless the project is successful.
