Kevin Sadler wrote about it:This takes the usual packing puzzle which we love so much to a whole new level of frustration and cleverness. With a box/frame and holes in it and a few simple pieces to be placed inside which completely fill the aforementioned holes leaving no gaps visible, we usually have to create a 3x3x2 shape inside which, despite such simple shapes, is quite a tremendous challenge. This time we have a 3x3x3 cube to be constructed and two HUGE diagonally opposite windows to put p...

It seems simple: Just fit the wooden "chain" entirely into the box.

"The artisan series is being discontinued; once these puzzles are gone they will not be remade.Half Lid Box by the famous Hajime Katsumoto is a similar challenge to Obstacle Box.

This puzzle i...

Dr. Volker Latussek wrote about it:“I have been thinking and working on FERMAT for more than two years. I had initially planned a puzzle with a box typical for me: a square base and centred opening and three triangles. Preferably equilateral triangles. Despite considerable effort, I could not find discover an exciting solution. So I switched to isosceles triangles, in the end the 45 degree angle imposed itself. The side lengths of the three triangles now had to be chosen in such a way that the...

8cat by Jigsawholic. Pack the pieces into he tray. Maker / designers description:At first glance, these puzzles seem like a pure combinatorial problem, but then it would be nothing unusual.As we know that the name of the puzzle always reveals some secret related to the puzzle, we have every right to ask ourselves what do eight cats have to do with these puzzles?You may notice that with these puzzles comes a “little” secret. If they told you what that secret was about, then it wouldn't be a...

Kevin Sadler wrote about it:“X-ray cube is another challenge from Dr Latussek – the box has been beautifully made from Cherry and the pieces inside are Dark oak. I think it's named this way because the pieces need to be arranged in the box so that the pieces no longer obscure the holes in the top and bottom of the box allow you to see all the way through. In my website review I had not realised that this was the requirement and I had spent the best part of an hour trying to put the pieces ba...

The puzzle is a set similar to the Penultimate Burr with multiple problems to be solved. The set consists of a 4×4×4 cage with a 2×2 opening on each face and 14 non-planar penta/tetracubes. The objective is to fill the cage with four of the pentacubes and three tetracubes to complete a 4×4 cube. A jig is provided for testing possible solutions outside the cage, as well as a box which doubles as a display plinth for the solved puzzle. This is a difficult puzzle, with two assemblies having a u...
