Chained Sliders – Advanced Sequential Movement Puzzle
Chained Sliders is a clever hybrid puzzle designed by Oskar van Deventer and produced by Team JB Hobbies. Inspired by Bram Cohen's Enigmatic Shapeshifter, this puzzle combines a traditional sliding puzzle with a hidden disassembly challenge for those willing to dig deeper.
At first glance, Chained Sliders appears to be a familiar 3×3 sliding puzzle. Your initial objective is to arrange the numbered pieces in order from 1 through 9. The chained perimeter pieces create an unusual constraint that adds an extra layer of challenge to the classic sliding puzzle format.
However, solving the slider puzzle is only the beginning. Once the center section has been isolated, a much more difficult challenge emerges. Through a precise sequence of moves, the puzzle can be disassembled, allowing the chained pieces to be freed. Reassembling the puzzle afterward is an even greater test of skill and patience.
