"Daedalus is a masterpiece of design. Brilliantly creative and brutally difficult to both craft and solve, I've wanted to make this puzzle for a while.
According to Allard Walker:
"In its fully closed
form, the puzzle hides all of its secrets rather well - there is
literally no clue to the sheer pandemonium hiding inside in wait for an
unwary puzzler. One of the pics on the Contest website shows the
Daedalus with a single piece removed - and it has teeth! From that
picture you can surmise that the pieces are constrained by a series of
pins and channels, but even that doesn't really prepare you for the
challenge."
Daedalus was extremely difficult to craft. The accuracy necessary due level the of interlock is intimidating. Every pin, route and component piece must be spot on for the puzzle to feel correct. I'm happy to report that the extra care we took during manufacturing paid off, and the result is superlative.
