Stockade by Andrew Crowell is an excellent packing puzzle. The goal is to fit the pieces in the cage with all the gaps covered by the pieces to create the illusion of a cube inside. The solution involves 15 steps with multiple rotations to offer a good challenge and a unique display shape. We've added two extra pieces to make Stockade 2 as an extra challenge. Stockade 2 is a level 4.4.4.3.3 packing puzzle with the same goal, fill all the gaps in the frame to create the illusion of a cube inside...

+Burr (Plus Burr) is a six-piece burr in an unconventional shape designed by Stephan Baumegger in 2015. The name derives from the negative space on each assembled face which resembles the addition symbol. With a level 8.1.2 disassembly is not trivial, but not overly challenging. I recommend disassembling and scrambling the pieces for a great assembly puzzle.We have made two variants for this release, one with light white oak and rich walnut, and another with bright ash and intricate zebrawood. T...

One of two things can happen when the minds of Wil Strijbos and Peter Hajek come together:  EITHER total annihilation of the world, or the creation of a FIENDISH and DIABOLICAL puzzle.  Fortunately for all of us, the latter was the result when these two puzzle genius heads came together to create Peter's exchange puzzle for IPP41, held in Houston in 2024.  The goal of Burrglar is simply stated:  put the (only!) three pieces toge...

The Hyperboloid Burr is a very fun six-piece burr puzzle made from identical hyperboloid pieces, designed by Oskar van Deventer and Naoaki Takashima.The puzzle has two solutions. The six-piece version is a put-together that assembles and displays well, but if picked up by a single piece falls apart under its own weight. The seven-piece solution is completed with a satisfying "click" and holds together well.Both assemblies are made possible by machining to very accurate tolerances. A mere 0.03mm ...

We are excited to work with another new designer Tyler Hudson for this release. Parasitic Burr is an eight-piece burr in the disguise of a traditional six-piece burr shape, done in an ingeniously simple way. Six standard burr pieces interlock around two identical tetracube pieces which are hidden inside the belly of the final assembly. The unique solution is an approachable level 3, and figuring out the correct placement of the smaller inside pieces makes it a very fun assembly puzzle. Look out ...

Slideways by Ray Stanton and Akio Yamamoto is one of our favorite Interlocking Burrs. Three simple, identical pieces combine to form the symmetrical shape. The solution is trickier than it seems, and some struggle even after even seeing it performed in front of them. There is a tricky concept in play that must be understood; once discovered, the pieces' smooth movement is addicting. Slideways is not the most challenging puzzle, but it just may become your favorite.*******************************...
