Invented by Polshek Partnership Architects alum and
architectural designer, Andrew Comfort, and inspired by his grandfather's wooden marble run, Q-BA-MAZE (pronounced: cube amaze) is a smart, new construction toy that amazes players of all ages as they imagine and build colorful transparent towers with a simple system of interlocking cubes, then watch as shimmering steel balls randomly collide and roll through their amazing invention.
"It sounds crazy -- but I spent three painstaking years designing just three cubes," said Andrew Comfort, Q-BA-MAZE designer and founder. "The fact that I.D. Magazine finds Q-BA-MAZE ingenious is both a huge honor and a long-awaited affirmation of my sanity!"
