Sound Patterns by Oskar van Deventer: A Mesmerizing Mechanical Challenge

Inspired by Genius

"Sound Patterns" is a tribute to the ingenious work of Kagen Sound, a renowned puzzle maker known for his award-winning secret opening boxes that form complex, mesmerizing patterns. Continuing in this tradition, Oskar van Deventer has crafted a new challenge that transforms these captivating designs into a dynamic cylindrical form.

Engage with Every Turn

This unique puzzle consists of small rings arranged along a tall cylinder, each featuring a small knob on the inside that slides into notches within the cylinder. The task? Align the rings to form symmetrical patterns. It sounds straightforward, but the catch lies in the notches' clever design, which allows each ring to fit in multiple positions but only one configuration achieves the correct solution.

Seven Challenges, One Solution

Designed to offer just the right level of complexity, "Sound Patterns" includes seven different challenges, each with only one possible solution. This setup ensures that while the puzzle is approachable and not overly difficult, solving it provides a deeply satisfying experience.
