Hello 👋
Welcome to our blog. Below are a few snippets from a day at the workshop, where the sleeves for the Black Lite were being made. This was the next stage in the process, following completion of the mazes a few weeks earlier.
Scroll down to cast your vote in the poll and help us choose the sleeve colour for the REVOMAZE Lite – 4 Set (Limited Edition).

The reduced size of the sleeves allows us to produce the aluminium bars in-house, cut to size, and ready for use.

Following the setup of the programme, the machining process begins.
Filming the full process of creating a single sleeve.

Sleeves have switched around to do side B for the end cores.

Each sleeve is cleaned separately to remove excess oil before being placed in the box.

Sleeves are then placed in the box, in preparation for the batch to be sent to the anodisers.
Cases and Foam

The cases are here, and the foam for the 8 sets is almost ready. Community Question

On February 18, when we introduced the new store and announced the expansion of the Lite line, we invited the community to vote on the sleeve colour for the REVOMAZE Lite – 4 Set (Limited Edition). There were 3 options to choose from.
The first option was to have both the sleeve and the core anodised in the same colour, such as Titanium, featuring a matching Titanium sleeve and core.
The second option was for each of the four mazes to have a Gold sleeve, paired with a core colour that matches the difficulty level.
The third option was a Black sleeve, again combined with a core colour that reflects the difficulty level.
Which sleeve colour would you choose?
Core and sleeve anodised in the same colour
Gold sleeves with coloured cores (difficulty level)
Black sleeves with coloured cores (difficulty level)
The poll closed on March 25, 2024. The winning option for the 4 Set (Limited Edition) was having both the core and sleeve anodised in the same colour, which received 29 votes. The result was extremely close, with gold sleeves and coloured cores following closely behind.
Once all sets have been sold, the final result will be revealed.
When the introductory set puzzles are ready to be released and delivered, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the difficulty levels and whether they align with what we’ve set. We’d also enjoy seeing the names you come up with for the maze sections, as has been done in the past. The most creative suggestions will be added to the product descriptions.
Thank you for reading, and we’ll be back soon with more news from HQ. Last updated: January 2026

I really love the new rough end of the core for easier grip with fingers. It looks great.
I also can't wait for a smaller and lighter sleeve, I fell in love with the obsession for how light they are, I was able to play with it holding it in my hands. The normal metal revos I've always had to keep resting on my lap or a table. Since we're sharing requests, I wish there was a measuring ruler engraved on the core for both draw and rotation. So many people have made different forms of grippers and measuring tools. Most of these revos are too difficult to do without a map but there's no clear way how we're supposed to…
Really looking forward to try out the Lites! :D
If I could add a wish, it would be that the sleeves of the first 8 Lites would be the color of the level. Instead of black. They look so nice with the colors, but all closed up on display they would now be all (almost) black.
