Puzzling World

We went to Puzzling World today! It was puzzlerific! First we tacked the Great Maze: 1.5km of outdoor labyrinth which was much harder than we expected :) There were bridges that added  3rd dimension, which was what really made it tricky. It was really fun! We were proud that we finished in about 40min, much faster than the average time of 1-1.5h.

Next we went inside to the Illusion Rooms. There were some cool holographs and optical illusions, but my favourite was the Ames Room where I finally got to be taller than Scott! The Tilted House was pretty cool too. 

In the cafe there were lots of fun puzzles and games to play too, so we spent some time there too. Definitely a great place to visit!

The Leaning Tower of Wanaka
Hmmmm this maze is hard....
We did the difficult challange! It involved a lot of backtracking.
FINALLY found the yellow corner (it ended up being the furthest from the start).
Green corner! This one was easy.
Blue!
Red! Last one!
Hooray we finished the maze!
Multiple levels mean extra complicated...
Extra complicated means extra fun!
The restrooms...hmm...
This Hanoi Tower would take 700 billion years to compete, assuming 1 move per second. Crazy!!!
I'm taller than Scott!!
Now I'm smaller :( Optical illusions are fun!
I'm great at balancing!
This dangling swing shows how tilted this room is! Crazy!
