"Jerrymander" comes from the diabolical mind of the great puzzle designer Bill Cutler, and was used as Bill's exchange puzzle at IPP32 held in Washington DC in 2012.  The puzzle tray was beautifully laser cut and engraved by popular and prolific puzzle craftsperson Walt Hoppe (Laser Perfect), and the pieces were precisely laser cut by Pavel Curtis of Pavel's Puzzles.  The object of the puzzle is to rearrange the pieces of the four different colors (representing four political parties: Democrat...

Shipping only to CONUS. Mondrian's Mess is an assembly puzzle created by Tom Jolly in 2021. Building on concepts from his puzzles Little Window (2011) and Open Window (2012), and with a name inspired by the abstract geometric paintings of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, Mondrian's Mess turns those two designs inside out, putting the odd-shaped pieces on the outer layers instead of on the inner one. The result is a visually appealing piece of art that's just as pleasing to look at as it ...

I'm trying to include at least one interesting packing puzzle in each update, and the A-Pack absolutely overdelivers in that regard. The concept is unique and brilliant, and I'm very glad I made it. There are two sliding shuttles which are captured in the acrylic frame. The goal is to pack the pieces completely in, and it's very very difficult. Right off the bat you're faced with a level 12 shuffle to get two of the major pieces situated. The remainder comes along together nicely, not too simple...

One of Stewart's earlier works, Pyracube is a puzzle I've always wanted in my collection. I figured since I was going to make one, my customers might want one too. So here it is! Stewart has this to say about Pyracube:Pyracube introduces a large family of puzzles made by joining polyhedral blocks together different ways, in this case by using edge beveled cubes (or to put it another way, truncated rhombic dodecahedrons). Strange as it may seem, they pack snugly and neatly into the cubic box with...

Great care was taken during construction, with Wenge accents on the box corners and extremely precise dimensions. Extra attention was spent on t...

This puzzle was Henry Strout's exchange puzzle at IPP 29 in San Francisco. I enjoyed solving it a lot, and decided to make a run of them. To solve the puzzle, all the pieces must be put in the box. Easy enough, except for two things. One, they must all go through the 1x2 slot in the side, making the order of insertion quite important. Two, the yellowheart piece is stuck inside the box, so you have to plan around that. Quite tricky! Using a toothpick makes assembly easier, but it's solvable witho...
