Packing or interlock puzzle? This is how Eric describes it:

This put together puzzle blurs the line between packing and interlocking puzzles. With a level 4.4.17 solution

Great looking “Lolly box”, kinda begs you to pick it up and start fiddling with it. I had no problem getting the first two lollies out, the second two took me a while longer.

When I got them all out it dawned on me… I have a major malfunction! My brain won’t comprehend the fact I’m too eager to get my hands on the lollies that I don’t care about the fact that they aren’t supposed to be eaten, but actually supposed to go back in the box!? Aaargh!

I first discovered I had this disease when I got my Cartesian wallet, but I don’t seem to be able to remember that I have this “condition”.

Anyhow… not paying attention to disassembly of this puzzle might not kill you, but it will make a few hairs on your head turn a few shades closer to gray.

If there is something I have learned from solving puzzles, it’s p a t i e n c e, I thought I had plenty of it before, but now I’m: Yoda meets Mother Teresa in a body of Buddha who ate Gandhi

Long overdue post but here it is 1 month late =)

The same size as the King but with a slightly different solution. The Queen also harbors a secret, and in this case… a girls best friend.

King And Queen

Craftsman: Eureka
Designer: Marcel Gillen

Long overdue post but here it is 1 month late =)

Designed by Marcel Gillen in 2002 and reproduced by Eureka.

A fairly large piece about 15cm (~6 inches) tall. Not a very difficult puzzle but different.

All Kings has a Queen by their side, and she is a wee bit more difficult to find, but available here.

Can you find the hidden coin?

This is a HARD puzzle!
I have been working on it on and off and there are some devious tricks in this puppy. Still unsolved, but will hopefully have cracked it before the gold comes out.

Read my blue RevoMaze review for more info on this great puzzle.

Another one from Vinco’s new batch. It’s quite tricky to see any seems in this puzzle, and quite hard to feel them too. I got really confused even on to where to start on this one because there is no way of getting any kind of grip.

This is one of Vinco’s new designs. Even though I’m starting to get a pretty good feel for his puzzles, I ran into some problems getting this puppy open. =)

Crossbox

Sat down in my sofa and started to fiddle with this one while I was glancing at the Tv, didn’t really get anywhere, but I kept going and then all of a sudden it open! Spooked me quite a bit, because all of a sudden I had this thing that was semi-open and quite a lot bigger then I started =)

Also requires a little “multi-fingery-movement” and shares characteristics with Flattrick and Explosion Cube, but has it’s very own “take” on it.

About the same size as Flattrick and displays very nicely.
(Had some problems taking pictures of this one, the picture makes it look a bit crocked and rough, but it’s the exact opposite… straight and smooth)

Christmas present from Vinco. Clever little puzzle, stuns you a bit when it won’t move the way you would expect. Perfect puzzle to annoy friends and families that aren’t too familiar with this kind of puzzle.

Perfect fit, just snug enough. I actually thought this was a 2 piece puzzle once I disassembled it, but when I played with it a bit more discovered it’s a 4 piece! =P
I have encountered wood puzzles where the pieces has been slightly stuck together, due to the lacquer holding some pieces together at first, and becomes loose once “dislodged”. But that’s not the case here!

Really fun to play with!

Face-(Gesicht)-by-Roger

Craftsman: Roger
Designer: Roger

This Roger puzzle has me really puzzled! I have no idea what the goal is here… You have this aluminum block which makes out a face (gesicht), and several square holes on it’s sides. There is one metal ball inside, and you have a “stick” ? with rounded edges (one bigger then the other). It seems like the goal of this would be to get the ball out of one of the eyes. All other holes are too small to get the ball out.

There are paths within which directly connects to the holes, and the only obstruction is a couple of “compressed” pieces if foam. (It’s really hard to explain but I will put up more pictures soon) You can poke the ball past each piece of foam with some force. (There is no damage to the puzzle, foam nor ball by doing this). So if the goal is to get the ball out through the eye it’s easy as pie!?

And why does the sticks ends has different sizes? There got to be more to this puzzle then meets the eye!

If you can confirm or dismiss my theory on the goal on this puzzle please contact me and let me know.

Here are 3 pictures of the foam, excuses the poor color balance.
