Pincers by Alexander Magyarics
Alexander Magyarics wrote about it:“2D and 3D packing problems are my favourites, especially those with only a few pieces, together with a sufficient level of difficulty. I hope you will like Pincers and add it to your collection. You do not need to create the illusion of a full cube inside (like we all do with amazing packing designs by Osanori). Just fit the three pieces below the top layer. So what is the clue here? – the shapes of the pieces and box opening. Study them well to eliminate ...

Pavillion by Osanori Yamamoto
Kevin Sadler wrote about it:“Triangle ring looks like it might be fairly easy due to the huge amount of manipulation space available with the 2 holes in the frame. However counteracting this is the fact that the pieces to be placed have a total of 26 cubies and thus there is only a single gap to allow the pieces to move once packed. The solution is an absolutely beautiful logical progression which you will only find by thought and not random movements. A brilliant starter for this release seri...

ODD Packing Puzzle by Hirokazu Iwasawa
The ODD Puzzle is a wonderfully challenging packing problem. Three rather large pieces must somehow fit through a wholly inadequate seeming slot to fill the box. The solution is creative and satisfying! This puzzle was the grand prize winner at IPP28.Construction of this puzzle excellent, with very precise cuts. The splines reinforce the mitered corner ensuring a long lasting joint. Fit is perfect, as it must be for this type of puzzle.************************************************************...

Nine Blocks Box by Jerry Loo
I saw this puzzle on Ishino's excellent site and thought it was interesting. While I was browsing, I was playing around with a leftover matchbox from Oskar's Matchboxes that I had fitted with a couple magnets to keep the drawer closed. Then it hit me! Make the packing puzzle in a small format just like the Matchboxes puzzle! The result is a pocket portable packing puzzle, beautifully made, which will not slide open and fall all over the place thanks to the magnets. Furthermore, the box is two si...

Wishing Well by Alexander Magyarics
Alexander Magyarics wrote about it:“I've been playing with this idea for a long time – to create a packing puzzle where one of the pieces cannot be taken out of the box and it works as a moving obstacle to make your solving process more difficult. Three pieces must be placed in the 3x3x3 cube under the 'timber', you don't need to fill the opening completely. One unit cube of the 'timber' enters the inner 3x3x3 space – it ends its journey in the middle of the upper side (the same position a...

Digigrams by Martin Watson
I always liked this design, and on a whim emailed Martin about possibly making it available again. When he replied in the affirmative, my only thought was "yay!" as I ran to the laser cutter.Digigrams was released at IPP20 and is a very clever packing puzzle. Each digit is represented, and there are only three solutions to pack them all into the tray. It's quite tricky.Crafted with precision cut acrylic and walnut, with a solid granadillo bottom. Nice pleasing fit and a compact size means it won...

Box Rebellion by Stewart Coffin (RPP)
Box Rebellion was previously released as an IPP exchange puzzle in 2004 by Walt Hoppe. Similar to the wildly popular 4L design, Box Rebellion is a tricky multiple-step packing puzzle with a single solution. The four identical pieces must be packed into the box but are blocked by an odd-shaped acrylic slider over the top which only allows one side of the box to be accessible at a time. The solution includes multiple rotations.For multiple items, combined shipping is available. Simply message me...

Reticulated Cubes is a fascinating exploration of 3x3 cube puzzles with a novel twist. Each box contains nine pieces, and there are eight possible cube solutions. The goal is to organize the pieces in the box such that any three pieces in a straight line will assemble into a cube (tic-tac-toe style). The solution is quite difficult to find!For multiple items, combined shipping is available.

S in Bloom
Description by Brian Pletcher :"The goal of this puzzle is to use the eight dark pieces to make an S
inside the frame. I fiddled around with this one for a bit, but didn't
have much luck. I have a tough time with these more abstract puzzles
where you don't know quite what you're supposed to be doing. Eventually I
gave up and looked at the solution, and it is pretty good! Perhaps I
would have gotten it if I stuck with it a bit longer: it is tricky but
not impossible."It was one of my ...
