What colour will be next?

[mattangel]

Yup, your right! So we come back to colours, the most obvious way to discriminate between different puzzles. So assuming the order is Yellow, Purple, Gray(?)... what comes next, and will it be a new range at Gold level and beyond or a new range starting from a level similar to Blue.
What new tricks and traps could be incorporated into ReVomazes. I'm thinking you could introduce magnets in a couple of ways; magnetic pionts on the path that could attract to hold you in place and make it difficult to move forward or, like poles that would repulse and try and force you from the path. The magnets would have to be quite robust and not prone to splintering, perhaps they could be encapsulated in some way.

Mhuti,

Have you thought about entering the Orange Design competition? You have until the end of the month to submit a design.

[Stigy]

It will be a new set starting at a level similar to Blue. Chris will have to do it that way to involve everyone new to Revomazes. Otherwise he would be limiting his customer base to only those who have been through all of the series 1 puzzles. And frankly to keep making new mazes harder and harder above Gold could be too big a challenge even for Chris

To mattangel1;
I can't enter the competition, I've ordered all of the puzzles available but am yet to recieve any of my puzzles. I have some other blind labyrinth puzzles, which is why I am interested in the ReVomaze series of puzzles and I have seen images and video showing the spindle of a ReVo but I have not yet opened one. I will get started on my ReVos ASAP but probably not in time for the competition. From an engineering point of few there are a number of tricks you could use to make navigation through the maze harder, odd angles, platforms (discs or elipses etc.) with multiple exits at random points, making the pathway narrower, crossroads at oblique angles. I suppose the hardest path would be a totally random computer generated squiggle, you might eventually find your way around but would struggle to repeat the feat. likewise rotating a shaft at a very narrow angle is very tricky, lots of lateral movement with a very small vertical movement. But the whole point of most good puzzles is to engage the puzzler, challenge them and make them seem they have beaten the puzzle maker. I'm sure I will enjoy the Orange puzzle when it arrives on my doorstep and good luck to all those who enter the competition. Personally I'm hoping that the puzzle chosen is a significant challenge.
To Stigy;
I think you are correct, there is a limit to what can be achieved with this type of puzzle in it's current format (shape/size etc.). However Chris has already designed a puzzle 25% harder than the Gold. I'm sure there is scope for a series of puzzles that start from Bronze (80) going up to or beyond the 'Big One' (125+). If this is the case new puzzlers could still engage in the new puzzles by first working through the Obsession range.
Chris has stated that there will only be 500 Gold puzzles. Maybe the focus of new puzzle development will be the plastic puzzles and any new Extreme puzzles will be all limited editions on release. Then again mabye I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time... (or the last! )

[Manifestjp]

Don't fool yourself stigy. The orange is a special revo designed by those of us who love a challenge and I know a lot of us would be disappointed if it turned out as easy as the blue. You need to have a go at the bronze at least before you truly understand a Revomaze. I hope the new series is insane! The first one should have a 100 hour opening average.

[mhuti]

So does anyone else have any idea what they think might be next...
Sets? Colours? Difficulty? Plastic/Metal? Limited Series? Totally New Concept? Next Competition? etc.

[Gdamatov77]

it was mentioned that information regarding the 10-11 series is coming soon after the competition. i have a feeling they will be a tad harder for the first 2 than the blue and green were, but not too much harder for the equivalent 2 to the bronze and silver, and gold will be a goldmine in difficulty next year

[Jehrets2]

Well, from the title"world series" I think it would be cool if the maze was based of geological features in the world. As for the orange, I wish the 250 limit won't run out by the time I'll be able to get it (I want to at least get the green first).

[stet]

I see no reason why the next series of puzzles can't use the same colors as the first series.

[mhuti]

Don't you think using the same colours would make it difficult to distinguish between different series of puzzles as time goes on?

[stet]

Why do you think the would look the same? My understanding is that the next series won't even be the same shape. Wasn't there a teaser picture around somewhere showing a puzzle shaped more like a disk instead of a cylinder?
