Colorful mechanical puzzle with interlocking rings and sliding square tiles in blue, green, yellow, and orange.

Orbix Core is a modern mechanical puzzle built around two intersecting rings locked at right angles. Unlike traditional twisty puzzles, the rings themselves never rotate or come apart. Instead, the challenge lives on the surface. Each ring contains a continuous track filled with square sliding tiles that sit perfectly flush with the ring. The tiles move smoothly along the path, guided by a single empty space on each ring. At the point where the rings intersect, tiles can transfer between rings — but only when the empty slot is correctly positioned. The result is a deceptively simple puzzle with surprising depth. Every move shifts not just a tile, but your future options. With more tiles, planning becomes essential, and careless sliding can undo minutes of progress. The objective is to restore order by arranging the tiles so that each colour forms a clean, continuous band, occupying its designated half of the structure. There are multiple valid solved orientations, but only perfect balance completes the puzzle. Orbix Core blends the intuition of a sliding puzzle with the spatial challenge of a three-dimensional form. It requires no algorithms, no memorisation — only logic, foresight, and a steady hand. Elegant, tactile, and deeply satisfying, Orbix Core is designed to be explored, mastered, and displayed. See more
