Creative puzzle game, inspired by the popular in the 90s series The Incredible Machine. In the game we play the role of the inventor, who has to construct a fancy machine from predefined parts, able to perform a specific task.

Crazy Machines: Inventors Workshop is a creative puzzle game inspired by the Incredible Machine series by Sierra, which was extremely popular in the 1990s. The title is the result of cooperation between two German studios: FAKT Software and Pepper Games. The game was initially released only in Germany and neighbouring countries (including Poland), and its "export" version called Crazy Machines: The Wacky Contraptions Game appeared in the world almost a year and a half later.

The mechanics of the game is based on the concept of the so-called "Rube Goldberg machine" - an American inventor and draughtsman who used various bizarre machines in his cartoons. In the game we play the role of an inventor, whose task is to create a machine from predefined elements, able to perform the task set before us. It can be e.g. placing an object in a given place of the board, supplying power to a device or lighting a fire to boil water or bake a sausage.
