In addition to its original shape, the instructions suggest several other challenging shapes.

Back by popular demand, 4L is one of our favorite designs. This diabolical packing puzzle seems simple, yet the solution is anything but - 4L is FAR trickier than it looks. The goal is to pack the four L-shaped pieces into a very simple box. There are two different types of L pieces (fat and thin) and several possible configurations. The solution is creative and devious and earned Mr. Hashimoto an honorable mention at IPP 2015.************************************************************For multi...

4U Plus, designed by Kohfuh Satoh, produced by AsobideaThere are several challenges to this packing puzzle.  First goal is to simply pack the 4 pieces.  I don't think it's too difficult, but it took me an embarrasingly long time to solve.  The second series of challenges, on the other side, is to pack the pieces such that all the UFOs of the same color can be seen (there are 4 different colors, so 4 unique challenges here).  These side B puzzles were not too challenging.Comes in original po...

Stewart Coffin designed the venerable Half Hour puzzle in 1975, so named because he thought it would take most people about that long to solve it. This variant of Half Hour, STC-29B, is a spin on the classic design. The box features a removable top panel that dovetails into the restricted opening for storage of the solved puzzle. Solving the Half Hour cube will only get you partially there, as the "T" shaped restriction limits the assembly to one solution.Previously existing as a prototype made ...

On the Rocks, designed by Nob Yoshigahara, made by Toyo GlassThis was an intermediate challenge for me, compared to the other Toyo Glass packing puzzles.  The irregular pieces of "whisky and ice" aren't easy to put together, but there aren't so many pieces and when they fit, it feels right.  Great looking puzzle, and it includes the original box, felt/velvet drawstring bag, and documents.  Box shows light wear consistent with age but the puzzle is in great condition.-----Buyer is responsible ...

BonBon packing puzzle by Frederic Boucher is just a ton of fun. The set of five tetrominoes must be fully inserted in the rectangular box, and there is only one particular way to do it. The solution requires over a dozen correct moves and rotations, and must be found by careful analysis rather than random attempts.Accommodating the unusual cutouts in the box was an exciting design challenge. The acrylic top is held in place with a tricky set of shoulders resulting in a tight fit while retaining ...
