 Do you need a mental challenge? Sep 08, 2008
Puzzling World in Wanaka is a really nice place for everyone, who loves tricky puzzles, optical illusions and a self-challenge in a good maze.
I’ve been to Puzzling World and absolutely enjoyed this experience! You can easily divide your visit into three parts. First of all you can check how talented and patient you are with the help of dozens of different puzzles (and you don’t even have to pay an entry for this activity). Then you can visit the illusion rooms including the Hall of Following Faces, which is unique in the entire world. But don’t get seasick! You’ll learn how easy it is to trick our human senses, though. Honestly, I’ve never felt that bad after a roller coaster ride. And then you can try to find your quick way through the wooden maze. I just say that after I had walked through the illusion rooms the maze has been a much bigger challenge because there was just a tiny sense of direction left ;-). Don’t forget to have a look at the pretty special Roman-style toilets. They are worth a photo! Furthermore you can buy a lot of interesting and challenging puzzles and games at the gift shop. You can find both traditional kiwi puzzles and modern games in there.  Part of the New Zealand 2008/09 travel blog

Puzzle World was fun. They have a human maze, an illusion room and then the cafe and front area has numerous tables with all the puzzles they sell laid out for people to challenge themselves.

After the walk we were off to Dunedin again. We came through Clyde, where there's a dam in Lake Dunstan to protect the city of Clyde.

We really love Wanaka!
We chose to stop at Wanaka instead of Queenstown (where all the "adrenaline sports" fanatics go!) and we were not sorry. On the way into town, we went to the fantastic Puzzling World following a tip from one of J…Puzzling World following a tip from one of Jeremy's colleagues (thanks Sue B!) - a giant maze and series of illusions. We must admit that the maze had us foxed - we were wandering around for ages trying to find each of the four corners… Wanaka |
