Original Czech puzzles: RADEMIC presents a new puzzle - ZIGGY! Doug Menzies from New Zealand created this imaginative, original mechanism. A collaboration started when a prototype was sent to Radek Micopulos who added a smiley design to the principle and Ziggy was born. This animated smiley is made of duralumin with orange anodising. A lot of love and care has gone into making Ziggy but he still seems confused. He needs your help! Can you figure out what’s going on inside his head and make him happy? In other words, your goal is to take ZIGGY apart and put him back together.
We are puzzled guys, grumpy and full of emotions, we fall apart, we are Demonticons. A blend of words emoticon and demount. Each of us have our own dreams, hobbies and story which is complete only after you get inside our head. Our stories contain a word combination that is also a clue to solve our mysteries and dreams.
The Demonticon family tree is growing with several characters that all have different life goals. You will notice that all women have a name beginning with the letter S and all men with the letter Z.
"We're all complicated. Our characters only state how we are difficult. The difference is in the number of obstacles and the visibility of the solution. Seldom smiley, we're the Demonticons! Devilishly devious since 2022."
Ziggy is labeled as CHEEKY - less obstacles, with a visible solution.
