Rupture by Alexander Magyarics (RPP)
Rupture by Alexander Magyarics is a tricky space-filling puzzle. While adding the pieces into the box is not too difficult, the proper solution requires you to fill the openings completely. No gaps are allowed, and no rotations are necessary. With a unique level 6.6.3 solution, this is easier said than done!************************************************************For multiple items, combined shipping is available.

Chicken Puzzle by Olexandre Kapkan (RPP)
I'm glad to be revisiting this fun design! Originally released with limited availability in 2015, the Chicken Puzzle boasts an impressive level 10 solution and a hidden surprise. The 2020 version was upgraded with an improved chicken byproduct retention system. Yellowheart and Cherry offset each other for that pleasing chicken look without all the annoying chicken poop everywhere. Or do they...? Construction techniques used in this puzzle are unique. The Yellowheart cage is made of only six p...

Geneva by William Hu (RPP)
Geneva is the first new puzzle by William Hu in quite some time. Named after the clockwork mechanism that it's partially inspired by, the level 9.3.4 solution includes some very unique rotations and coordinate motions. During assembly, there's a fair amount of freedom, with a lot of dead ends to run into and circles to run around in. Geneva is a nice addition to any TIC collection.************************************************************For multiple items, combined shipping is available. Simp...

Pin Prick by William Hu (RPP)
The Pin Cubes series by William Hu are three new cubes based on a 3x3x3 structure. By including drilled holes and pins, each puzzle in the set takes advantage of this format in a different way and creates three very different experiences. Designed to be tricky in both disassembly as well as assembly, they are a new take on an old idea, and well worth a look. Pinprick (Goncalo Alves) is the middle difficulty and takes advantage of its form to include an unusual step that will amuse any solver ...

Puzzler's Cage by Junichi Yananose (RPP)
Are you ready? No. You're not ready. This puzzle is a BEAST.Puzzler's Cage was designed by Junichi Yananose in 1999 without the aid of a computer. He describes it as “crazy hard”. The puzzle has more interlock than should be possible, with half of the stick ends captive in notched perpendicular pieces. Even with instructions, assembly is a daunting task.We used three different woods to give clues for solving. The beautiful tones of Bubinga, Schedua and Black Palm ensure this will hold a priz...

Double Slideways by Ray Stanton (RPP)
Double Slideways is a brilliant design and I'm glad we found time to make it again! This is a re-release of Ray's excellent exchange puzzle we last produced in 2014. The exchange edition was in a smaller format and fully notched for production efficiency. This remake is in a larger size and features augmented construction with a triangular stock insert. As a result, there is less void space once assembled, giving this edition smoother operation and more stability in the solved state.We used a ve...

While challenging, Tenchi is not impossible; analysis and experimentation provide enough insight that you may find the solution using critical thought.We used nine...

Little Kenny
Can ship assembled or disassembled Description from WoodWonders: Another of Ken Irvine's clever designs is this Rotational Cube (well not really a cube) The 3x4x4 Puzzle has a rather difficult to discover assembly. No many moves but still a good challenge I think. I spent several evenings trying to put my copy together before I was forced to break down and ask Ken for the solution so that could get back to making them! Made from exotic hardwoods

Lock Nested Cube (Lensch / Cohen)
Three identical pieces must be combined into a cube shape (with some missing external voxels). Unique challenge by Bram Cohen, beautifully crafted by Tom Lensch out of Canarywood, with Tom's logo on the inside of one piece. Tom added hidden dowels each of the pieces for added strength.I need to reluctantly sell some pieces from my collection to replenish puzzle funds; all puzzles are kept in a pet-free room between 68 and 73 F, and between 45% and 50% humidity.
