Two packing puzzles in one by the great Japanese puzzle designer Iwahiro (Hirokazo Iwasawa).  This was Iwahiro's exchange puzzle at IPP32, held in Washington DC in 2012.  The first goal is to pack the 10 cubes in the accompanying box so that no piece can slide in any direction; the second goal is to pack 8 cubes in the box so that no piece can slide in any direction.  The cubes are made from beautiful walnut, and the box is made from MDF. I will provide a copy of the solution from the IPP32 e...

Extremely challenging 12-piece assembly puzzle which forms a very elegant structure when complete.  This devilish puzzle was designed by Koji Kitajima and used by Koji as his exchange puzzle at the 21st International Puzzle party (IPP21) held in Tokyo in 2001.  The goal of the puzzle is to arrange and stack the twelve pieces (second photo) on the base so as to form the elegant "stepped" or "staired" structure shown in the first photo.  The solution is unique.  The puzzle was ma...

Tube It In is a classic Assembly Puzzle by Wil Strijbos. The solution involves packing small rectangular pieces inside each other - an original and fun idea that remains unique. Wil's original design in metal used different wall thicknesses...our laborious redesign with uniform thickness is proprietary to Cubicdissection. Tube It In is moderately tricky, with many collectors reporting multiple solves just for the fun of it. Tube It In's construction is painstaking. Each piece is strengthened ...

Pack Six was designed by Eric Fuller back in 2003. This six-piece Packing Puzzle is deceptively tricky...it looks easy. Yet when most try to solve it, they are engaged quite a bit longer than expected. Just when you think you have it assembled that last block is in the wrong place. Piece analysis only gets you so far, making Pack Six an enjoyable challenge for both experienced and newer collectors. Customer Gaetan Gouge discovered an additional challenge for this puzzle: figure out how to mak...

Designed by Osanori Yamamoto and made by Pelikan. Eight different tetra cubes pack into the tube but you need to get them past the single block fixed at the lip of the tube.  Pause for thought!

Boats and Boats 2 - Alfons Eyckmans, produced by NothingYetDesignsThere are two challenges in this 2D packing puzzle: 1) to pack the small boats into the frame (plus a unique boat piece), and 2) to pack the large boats into the frame (plus a different unique boat piece).  I solve one of these fairly quickly, but the other challenge embarrassingly took me hours.Laser cut acrylic frame with laser cut wood pieces.  The puzzle is in great condition but there is some light wear from play (fingerpri...

Brand New In BoxFrans designed the Japanese Wood Joint Burr in 1999 for the London IPP. Originally crafted in very small quantities by Wayne Daniel, Frans considers it one of his nicest designs. As he still receives requests for the puzzle we decided to make a small batch. I'm glad that we did! This burr is uniquely tricky in both concept and operation.Japanese Wood Joint Burr is precisely crafted from Ash and Shedua. The fit and function are exact. This puzzle turned out very well and is repres...

The goal of Fano Blocks is to pack seven pairs of identical rectangular pieces flush into the box. These aren't just any pieces, however! They possess unique properties: any two distinct blocks share precisely one edge length in common and any set of two specific edge lengths are held by two identical blocks. The resulting number of edge-matching combinations creates a complicated problem. Finding even one of the eight possible solutions is an accomplishment. Named after the Fano plane (the s...

The Large Reversible Maze by Ohno is an interesting three-dimensional maze puzzle. The goal is to maneuver the shuttle piece from outside the puzzle to its final resting place in the middle square. Doing so is far trickier than you might imagine...typical of Ohno's designs, there are many twists, turns, and surprising moves. This is our second production run of this puzzle. Creation requires a combination of both laser cutting and traditional woodwork techniques. The end result is a beautiful...

8 piece packing puzzle designed and produced by Yavuz Demirhan. 

This was my exchange puzzle from IPP32 held in Washington D.C. in 2012.  It is based on a puzzle from 1932 by the Atlantic Refining Company that was used to advertise their motor oil.  The objective of the puzzle is to place the two wooden pieces on the scoreboard to produce a 12-11 victory for the Washington Nationals.  (The second photo shows an incorrect solution to the puzzle, because the final score shown is 11-9, not 12-11.)  Note that the puzzle is made from ash, the same wood used in...

Goetz Schwandtner wrote about it:“The latest puzzle “DUNANT” by Dr. Volker Latussek is a nice little box with some five identical C shaped pieces in it. In the initial configuration two of the pieces look out through the opening in the top and form the shape of a red cross (providing a reference to the name of the puzzle). Taking the pieces is quickly accomplished, and then the real fun starts. The challenge is to get them back into the box, but this time nothing is allowed to stick out of...
