What visitors will learn

This hands‑on challenge puts your spatial reasoning to the test, but with a twist. To succeed, you’ll need to build the mirror image of a key slot, not the slot itself. It’s a brain‑bending exercise that sharpens your ability to visualize and replicate shapes in reverse.


How it works

Solve to puzzle to earn the prize inside:

  • The lock mechanism features a 4 × 10 grid of pins, each set at a different depth.
  • Your goal: press each pin to the exact position that matches the mirror version of the target pattern.
  • Once all pins are aligned correctly, simply turn the key.
  • The door swings open to reveal a reward.
