Story
Decades ago, the 'Pioneer-Class' explorer 'Nostralis' vanished without a trace. The ship was on a charting mission beyond Hazard Perimeter Gamma-7—a sector deemed impassable ever since.
The ship was believed to be lost forever. However, an autonomous salvage bot of the Hyperspace Patrol detected a faint, anomalously pulsating signal. It was the Primary Recorder of the 'Nostralis'.
This artifact, scarred by cosmic erosion, holds the final data of the lost explorer. At the research complex, data technicians have so far attempted in vain to access the memory core of the Primary Recorder.
It is a silent witness containing the final chapter of the 'Nostralis'. Somewhere within its interior lies the truth behind the disappearance—the final navigation logs, mission reports, and hidden data sequences.
Your mission is clear
Unlock the Primary Recorder. Retrieve the Memory Core. Subsequently test the Memory Core for functionality.
This state-of-the-art core can be charged by photons. Expose the core to a bright light source and then check in a dark location for visible activity. If the core reacts, it is undamaged and can be analyzed by our scientists.

Produktion
This product is manufactured using modern filament 3D printing technology (FDM). Unlike injection molding, the component is built up layer by layer. This process enables high design flexibility as well as efficient material usage without unnecessary waste, making it ideal for small-batch production.
Note on Surface Texture: Due to the layer-by-layer manufacturing process, the surface exhibits a fine, technically inherent structure (layer lines). These visible lines do not represent a quality defect; rather, they are a characteristic feature of 3D printing and do not affect the stability or functionality of the product.
The box is carefully hand-assembled from over 100 individual parts.
Visible lines and a rough surface texture are characteristic features of additive manufacturing.
💡Important Information
- Do not use force - the puzzles are designed to be solved with care and patience. No external tools are required.
- The box is robust but should still be treated with care to ensure its longevity.
- ⚠️ Caution: This is not a toy. Intended for adults and teenagers aged 14 and up. Contains small parts—choking hazard. Keep out of reach of small children.
