DRIVE YA NUTS – 3D Printed Logic Puzzle
DRIVE YA NUTS – 3D Printed Logic Puzzle
Challenge your logical thinking with Drive Ya Nuts, a classic-style hexagonal matching puzzle recreated as an independently designed 3D-printable model.
The objective is simple to understand but challenging to master: arrange seven hexagonal pieces on the game board so that every pair of touching sides displays the same number.
Each piece features six numbered sides (1–6) and can be rotated to find the correct combination. One piece occupies the centre of the board, while the remaining six pieces form the surrounding ring.
Although the rules are straightforward, finding the correct arrangement requires logical thinking, careful observation and a systematic approach.
Features
- Seven-piece puzzle: One central piece and six surrounding hexagonal pieces.
- Number-matching mechanics: Every touching pair of sides must have identical numbers.
- Rotatable pieces: Rotate each element to explore different combinations.
- Reusable challenge: Mix the pieces and start again whenever you want.
- Compact design: A simple board-and-piece construction.
- 3D-printable model: A physical version of a logic puzzle, designed to be produced using 3D printing.
How to Play
- Remove all seven pieces from the board.
- Mix them to create a random starting arrangement.
- Place one hexagonal piece in the centre.
- Arrange the remaining six pieces around it.
- Rotate the pieces until all touching sides display matching numbers.
The puzzle is complete when all seven pieces are correctly positioned and every connection matches – both between the centre and the outer pieces and around the outside of the board.
