Description
Soma op Recept – Advanced Packing Puzzle
Soma op Recept is a sophisticated packing puzzle designed by Dr. Volker Latussek, with CAD work by Oskar van Deventer, and produced by Team JB Hobbies. Based on the classic Soma puzzle concept, this version introduces a clever system of pins and holes that transforms a familiar packing challenge into something far more demanding.
The objective is to fit all seven Soma pieces into the cubic frame while aligning the pins and holes throughout the assembly. Simply finding a valid Soma arrangement is not enough—every piece must be positioned correctly so that the lid can be closed without any pins protruding from the puzzle.
While many Soma assemblies are theoretically possible, the pin-and-hole system dramatically narrows the options. The result is a puzzle that rewards careful planning, logical deduction, and a deep understanding of how the pieces interact.
