River Crossing™ - Background

About the Inventor

River Crossing™ was invented by UK maze enthusiast Andrea Gilbert. Initially offered as an online interactive puzzle-game jointly developed with former colleague Graham Rogers, plank puzzles became a popular attraction on Andrea’s website, www.clickmazes.com. This clever hands-on version was masterminded by Andrea’s partner, Bill Mitchell. The rich and unique puzzle set was handcrafted by Andrea, with final touches by Ukrainian puzzle genius Serhiy Grabarchuk.
