Intrism Level One proves that great things can come in a deceptively small box.
Intrism Level One is a great option for newcomers to laser-cut build kits, or for those who just can't seem to get enough. Put it together yourself, either with the included assembly guide, or if you're up for the challenge, try to build it without the instructions. Once assembled, your goal is to navigate the marble through the wooden maze's twists, turns, and tunnels to the finish line. Memoryis the name of the game here. You’ll need to track where you’ve been to plot your path to the other side. Unlike our original series, the marble cannot fall off the tracks of Level One, so the challenge lies solely in the complexities of the labyrinth. Can you get to the finish line and back?
Intrism Level One is for thinkers, tinkerers, and makers who are new to wooden puzzles or experienced but want to experience a unique spin on them. Whether you're into puzzles, art, engineering, or just building cool stuff, Intrism Level One guarantees excitement. We recommend Intrism Level One for ages 8+, but younger builders can enjoy it too with adult help.
Is prior experience needed to build this?
No experience? No problem. If you’ve ever built a LEGO set or followed IKEA instructions, you’ll do just fine. Everything’s pre-cut and clicks together—no glue or tools required. Once you’re hooked, check out our more intricate builds to expand your collection.
What are these made from?
Each kit is precision-cut from high-quality birch plywood using a laser cutter. It’s sturdy, smooth, and engineered to snap together with satisfying precision. No flimsy parts here—just solid craftsmanship.
Can it be painted or colored?
Absolutely, and we even have themes available for Intrism Level One. The natural wood surface takes paint, stain, and creativity like a champ. We recommend customizing it before assembly using a paint or stain that will not add thickness to the wood (otherwise it may complicate the assembly process).
What if I break a piece?
Don’t sweat it. We replace broken or missing wooden parts for free—just head to intrism.com/oops and we’ll get you building again in no time. Replacement acrylic panels are also available at Intrism.com/acrylic.
How difficult is solving Intrism Level One?
Patience is key—Intrism Level One has winding pathways for the marble to roll through, but you cannot fall off the track like our Original Series mazes. Instead, with focus and determination, you’ll find your way through the maze to the other side without too much trouble. If you prefer something a little more challenging, we have Intrism Mini and Intrism Icon. For the most difficult challenge, check out Intrism Pro.
Does this make a good gift?
100%. It’s the kind of gift people don’t forget. Great for birthdays, holidays, graduations, or just surprising the puzzle-loving person in your life. Every order is shipped in plain, non-branded shipping material to keep the gift hidden from prying eyes. Plus, we omit the purchase price, so go ahead and ship it directly to your recipient.
How does Intrism Level One compare to other models?
Each Intrism model offers a unique build experience and maze design. Intrism Level One is our first Level Series puzzle, and comes in at 4” in size, and is the simplest maze to solve. To see a full comparison of all Intrism models, check out our comparison page.

Kyle always delivers
Kyle Vandeveer, the creator of Intrism, has done it again , this time with a design that is still visually intriguing and fun to play, but with a new dynamic: one that can be built by virtually anyone. Kyle's Level One design is the easiest to assemble and play, so it is appropriate for beginners and the young alike. This is a good place to start if you don’t have the patience yet to tackle his more involved projects. Once you get your feet wet with Level One, you will understand the intricacies of the others, and build confidence to take them on.
I’m extremely impressed at the fit and finish of this laser cut construct-it-yourself puzzle maze. The pieces fit together perfectly with truly no glue required. I’ve put together many wooden projects but this one stands out as the best yet. Well done Kyle. You knocked it out of the park!
The maze was so fun to put together. Challenging but not in a way where you aren't set up for success. It just takes some attention to detail and a gentle touch. I've practiced the maze for hours and still have not been able to complete it successfully yet. I like this because I would not pick it up as often if it was easy to beat. I took it to work and my coworkers can't stop trying to beat the maze. They all want to order these for fathers day. 10/10 my one complaint is sometimes my coworkers don't know where to go and neither do I within the maze. The YouTube video of someone completing the maze without the acrylic panels is very helpful for this.
Kyle, I really loved the product you designed. All the instructions were easy to follow and since I am a visual learner this played into my strengths making it a joy to assemble. I am very impressed with your attention to detail and the quality of your design. I hope you have an equally or greater challenging puzzle for me in the future. 5 STARS, Well done!!
Saw an ad for this and knew it would be an amazing gift for a family member who loves puzzles and building things, and I was right!
Super fast shipping and great packaging. He loved the gift and immediately started putting the pieces together. Excited to get him the larger size next year! I highly recommend this product.
Fun puzzle, clear instructions, good part tolerancing
Extremely fun little build! The instructions are very clear and parts are well toleranced so they fit together tightly with little to no sanding. One of my favorite wooden puzzles and the perfect gift for anyone with an interest in puzzles even if they've never done 3D puzzles before
My partner and I had a great time putting the puzzle together. It's quite elegant as a finished product and I enjoy catching her play around with it since. Would recommend. Thanks Kyle!
My 14 year old Autistic grandson put this together, he did majority of the work, I only had to help maybe three times. He loves it. It would be great to see additional puzzles. I am now putting one together for myself it’s hard, don’t know how he finished it so quickly.
This product is outstanding. The material is excellent and the completion of the maze was a fun "puzzle". The description for the assembly is very clear. The laser cut pieces are perfect and the parts went together without glue. After sever hours/days of trying to complete the maze I was able to get to the next to the last step five different times, but then lost as the marble dropped to the bottom! However on the sixth attempt I was able to get to the finish line. I would rate this higher than 5 stars if I could.
I bought this as a gift for my 74 yo father. We started it together while I was visiting for a few days. I popped the pieces and he put it together. He finished it by himself 2 days after I left. What a great gift for a puzzle lover! It’s well-made and lovely once it’s complete. It’s not easy, but with some patience and care, it’s great fun. Highly recommend! Hope you come out with some new designs.
I'm a retired engineer and really enjoyed the construction process! Instructions are great, and the assembly drawings are excellent. Then the finished unit is a striking display, just asking to be picked up and enjoyed. Well done!
Great project. Fun puzzle. Well made. I was skeptical when this showed up. But once I started, the directions and engineering are amazing. I could not stop thinking about it when I was not working on it. I also had a bad feeling that I would finish and the cube would not fit. I was wrong. Fit perfectly. It is a favorite on my coffee table. Get this. You won’t regret it.
I loved it! Once I began I knew I would not stop. I got through it much faster than expected by following the instructions for each step. It was very satisfying to complete it and then be able to display it. That was my trial. I also purchased the Pro and I’m worried that once I start I will not want to quit until I complete that one. I’m a 60+ year old and I may be a bit heavy handed. I was concerned about breaking the pieces when trying to fit them together a few times. Waiting to hear and feel the snap when the part is in place. No accidents occurred thankfully. Looking forward to the Pro next!

Puzzles are a Gift Favorite
Bought these for my son and my son-in-law who are very hard to please. They are engineers and think alike but different from the rest of the family. I'd say they both were surprised and enjoyed them. According to them - the Game is Afoot! They made gift giving much easier for me! Thanks! I'll be back!

Fun to build, tough to solve!
I had fun poking out the parts and putting the puzzle together! Now the fun starts and it can be frustrating but takes my mind of more pressing frustrations!

The best Christmas present
I purchased the Level One for my autistic Grand-son. He is 14 yo and has challenges staying focused. I sat with him and went over the instructions. after helping him find the first piece, he completed the project other than the removal of the protective plastic film from the box pieces. Once assembled he solved the puzzle front and back and proudly has it displayed on the second story bookshelf for all to see. I am looking forward to getting him Level Two.

Super fun!
I gifted it to my dad for Christmas. Finally a gift he thoroughly enjoyed!!
I absolutely love it! I have to set time limits on how much time I want to spend putting it together at night or I'll be up all night! Very fun and addictive.

I enjoyed this puzzle, it is the only one I have done yet. It doesn't look very functional as far as moving the ball around -- maybe I put a piece or two backwards or something. Hope the others come out better.
I have a teenager who loves puzzle boxes and building things. This made him so happy to build and mess with. It's a little different in style than others he'd built, which made it more interesting and fun.
It was a gift for my son, but he hasn’t built it because when he scanned the QR code looking for instructions, it led him to attend end. I’m sure I can Google search it but it’s been sitting on the counter for two weeks now waiting for me to do that!
