PatternCatch - catch the pins and match the patterns

PatternCatch is a new puzzle, designed in 2008, and made at the Rolloworks design house in London. You have to line up the coloured patterns across the wheels, but you can only move some of the wheels at any time. They are not simple to solve, but not too difficult either, if you make the right moves.

Each PatternCatch is hand-made to order, in ones or small batches. We can customise them for special occasions.

Why do I want one?

• It's new
• It's eyecatching
• It's clever
• It's addictive
• It's fun

PatternCatch doesn't all come right at once. Every design contains several puzzles, so you can move from one to the next, or just play around and see what turns up.
