N5-9 Puzzle

This is a large and satisfyingly systematic maze puzzle brought to you by Jean Claude Constantin!  The shaped tracks in the puzzle display like an "N" or a "5", hence the name of this series of puzzles that is available in different sized grids.  This particular version of the series features a 9x9 grid of pegs and channels.

Your objective is to free a small metal ball from the maze through the exit hole.  This is accomplished by maneuvering the wooden sliders around the fixed metal pegs until the opening is clear of obstruction.  A very complex, methodical and intriguing puzzle!

Jean-Claude Constantin lives in Germany, where he designs and manufactures many different wood and metal puzzle, as well as magic tricks.
Please note that wood colors can vary.
