# Maze Game Alarm Clocks The 'NEMO' Puzzle Alarm Clock Requires Users to Play to Snooze By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-05-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-alarm-clock References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/05/16/snoozing-made-not-so-easy/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gartinat) Those that find themselves constantly hitting the snooze button in the morning will find the 'NEMO' puzzle alarm clock to either be the best or worst way to help eliminate unnecessary snoozing. Instead of featuring a snooze button, the 'NEMO' clock features a [maze game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-maze) on the top that requires users to play in order to snooze. The ball must be shifted to the blue section in order to be set, while moving it to the red section allows users to snooze. However, the act of having to move the ball in the complicating maze will incite users to simply get out of bed rather than trying to figure it out. The 'NEMO' puzzle alarm clock is the design work of Snežana Jeremić and is conceptually designed in three wooden color options. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gamified Alarm Clocks:** Developing alarm clocks that incorporate games to make waking up more fun and engaging for users. - **Sleep Tracking Devices:** Creating gadgets that analyze sleep patterns to help users optimize their sleep and wake up in a more natural and energized state. - **Artificial Intelligence Integrated Alarm Clocks:** Integrating AI-powered voice commands to improve alarm clocks, allowing users to customize wake-up routines and other features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovating in the alarm clock space to offer new features and make waking up less of a chore. - **Smart Home:** Creating alarm clocks that integrate with other smart home products to provide a seamless and customized experience. - **Health and Wellness:** Developing alarm clocks that help optimize sleep patterns and promote healthier wake-up routines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lottery-Inspired Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortune-clock.md) - [Branded Technology Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-snooze.md) - [Digital Personality Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-oclock.md) - [Connected Simplicity-Focused Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-rubiks-cube-clock.md) - [Gentle Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-alarm-clock.md) - [Analog Control Nap Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nap-timer.md) - [Clapperboard-Inspired Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-alarm-clock.md) - [Elegant Aromatic Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paramita-universal-alarm-clock.md) - [Connected Toy-Like Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubb-alarm-clock.md)
