Alley Maze is a ball maze. The object is to get the 8-mm ball out. The puzzle consist of eighteen 1x1x5-unit alleys that are put together into a cube. Some of the alleys are connected via larger holes, so the ball can pass through. The ball starts from the middle of the cube. The maze pattern is "interconnected loops". So when solving the maze, one may go around a loop several times, before accidentially passing to a next loop. Or to a previous one.
Note that the ball is not included. Fortunately,
8-mm ball bearings are easily to find on the internet.
