About 

We are a family-owned puzzle manufacturer based in the picturesque Askam-in-Furness, Cumbria, specialising in the art of creating mechanical puzzles for puzzlers around the world. Discover our designs that inspire and evoke a variety of emotions.

Here, you can explore our company's background and learn about our unique products. Until February 2024, we were known as "Revo HQ," but we've recently rebranded to "The Puzzle Workshop." Our passion is in developing challenging puzzles that promote cognitive development and improve problem-solving skills.

From the acclaimed REVOMAZE Puzzle series to the innovative VAULTMAZE Pilot and our reimagined classics, our dedicated team  is committed to providing high-quality, engaging pieces of engineering for highly curious minds.

The Origins

Ashton Pitt Ltd transforms ideas into reality through creative problem-solving. Our mechanical metal puzzles are designed for fellow puzzlers around the globe.

REVOMAZE was established in 2008 by Chris Pitt, inspired by a memorable mistake during his engineering apprenticeship. A miscut in a plastic screwdriver handle ignited the concept for this distinctive puzzle, which now proudly occupies a spot in our cabinet.

This mistake led to the creation of hidden mazes within a sleeve, starting with the Blue model. The concept was straightforward: create minimal components that enable quick assembly while providing a genuine challenge that exceeds the puzzler's expectations.

Since then, our collection has grown to over 20 designs, supported by a passionate and talented global clientele! Our community is continually expanding, and we have broadened our product line by launching the VAULTMAZE, featuring 19 mazes, each divided into 8 rings. The objective is to find, build, and solve the mazes to enter a competition for a chance to win the remarkable SUPER GOLIATH PUZZLE (20-RING), which is nearly three times larger than a standard REVOMAZE!

In late December 2023, we introduced the REVOMAZE 'Lite' version as suggested by our customers through a survey. This version is lighter and more affordable, featuring smooth gameplay and a pin on the outside that pops up once solved, ensuring it cannot be lost.

 

The new Lite version targets both younger and older puzzlers to familiarise them with the REVOMAZE concept, provide our existing users with a fresh challenge, and enable them to share their experiences with family and friends.
