A manipulative puzzle maze is disclosed. The puzzle maze in which a player must pick a solving piece, for example, balls at the start location/s such as peripheral channels and deliver them through a combination of static and moving maze obstacles, such as various pathways and a plurality of gears, to one of several finishing points or home bases. The puzzle maze offers a fun way to develop memory, concentration and logic, can be played in any setting and has high replay value due to different modes of play. The puzzle maze comprises a cog wheel, a base provided with various underflow channels, a rim member, a maze structure, a plurality of gears, and a cover for enclosing the puzzle maze. The maze structure comprises a combination of static and moving maze obstacles such as a plurality of channels and/or passages and openings for forming a maze pattern.

A multi-surfaced gear-based mechanical puzzle where the objective is to choose the proper sized gear and position on the surface(s) from available holes to have the gears align and rotate in unison on one or multiple surfaces, flat or curved, from a dictated start point to a dictated finish point.

Challenges such as going from “a” point to “c” point directly or additionally through way point “c” are outlined in an accompanying instruction booklet. Additionally, challenges may be presented as using a specific number or specific size of gears, for example, to achieve the objective.

In achieving the right combination of gear sizes and positions, the objective of going from one start point to a finish point by turning one gear to cause all other gears in the train to turn in unison can be accomplished.

The puzzle and components may be made from wood, plastic, metal or a composite material.

The present disclosure provides a gaming device. The gaming device may include a geared-wheel assembly having a first gear wheel and a second gear wheel. The first gear wheel and the second gear wheel may be capable of getting rotatably engaged with each other via its teeth and slots. The gaming device may include a gear turntable member that may be aligned behind the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel. The gear turntable member may be rotatingly coupled to the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel. The gaming device may include a first front supporting member and a second front supporting member to support its respective gear wheel from front. The gaming device further includes a method of playing the gaming device, which defines a winning position or a losing position.

A linked sequence of mechanically encoded puzzle pages is disclosed. Each page is comprised of multiple planar layers interconnected to implement the puzzle design of the page. The puzzle of each page must be solved to disengage a latching mechanism enabling the player to turn the page and begin solving the puzzle in the next page. Similarly for the next page, and each succeeding page until the last page, solution to the puzzle by the player will disengage a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism holds the active page being solved by the player to the next page. In the implementation of the invention described in this disclosure the latching mechanism comprises a hooking piece protruding in a perpendicular direction from the planar front surface of the next page, where the hooking piece fits into an opening on the planar back surface of the active page and a blocking piece on the active page is aligned between the hook portion and the exit to the opening, thereby preventing the hooking piece on the next page from disengaging from the active page.

A circular mosaic puzzle for retaining a puzzle design that is adjustable between ordered and disordered configurations. Plural circular mosaic substructures, each with a display surface, a central section, and four peripheral sections, are rotatably retained relative to a frame. Adjacent circular mosaic substructures have overlapping circumferences. Each peripheral section has opposed convex arcuate surfaces, and each central section has four concave arcuate surfaces for receiving one or more peripheral sections. Concentric actuation knobs can be retained relative to reverse surfaces of the substructures. A receiving track in the frame rotatably receives the circular mosaic substructures. The receiving track corresponds in shape and size to the shape and size of the overlapping circular mosaic substructures. The track can be a depressed formation within the frame that is laterally bounded by the border structure. Correspondingly disposed apertures in the track permit passage of hubs to permit manipulation of the substructures.
