Shriveled Soma – Advanced Packing Puzzle
Shriveled Soma is a creative packing puzzle invented by Dr. Volker Latussek, with 3D printing by Oskar van Deventer, and produced by Team JB Hobbies. Based on the classic Soma puzzle concept, this design introduces a clever twist by shrinking the pieces and requiring them to be inserted through a restricted opening.
The objective is to fit all seven Soma pieces inside the cubic frame. While the pieces retain the familiar Soma shapes, each has been reduced to 90% of its normal size, allowing them to pass through the opening and be assembled inside the cage.
The challenge lies not only in finding a valid Soma assembly, but also in determining how to maneuver the pieces through the restricted entry and into their final positions. Careful planning, orientation, and spatial reasoning are essential to success.
