Broken Soma is a puzzle hiding more secrets than one would expect. I first worked on it thinking I would solve it within minutes, but to my surprise, it took at least an hour before I had the crucial insight to solve it which put a smile on my face at Ken Irvine's sneakiness.It's called Broken Soma, because Ken took the 3 voxel piece (the small L) and broke it into 6 half voxel pieces which he then attached to the other 6 Soma pieces. Taking a puzzle that had 240 solutions down to only one! Now ...

This is a 2 in 1 puzzle. Assemble the 12 deformed pentaminos into a cube. Assemble the 6 plates into a box for the assembled pentaminos.Figuring out the pentamino solution is not easy but really satisfying once things start to come together.Few words from pluredro:Juno modified the pentomino pieces to form a cube. As puzzle lovers know, twelve pentomino pieces can form a 3 x 4 x 5 cuboid but those pieces cannot form a cube. Juno changed the ratio of the element of the pieces from a cube to...

Kryptonite is very aptly named, because it's proven to be MY kryptonite! The 6 challenges are incredibly difficult and I've only managed to solve the ones that don't require rotations thanks to BurrTools giving me a few hints. The ones that do require rotations? I couldn't solve them. But I've gotten tired of trying and trying again, so I'll just pass this puzzle on to someone else smarter than I am.It's a 3d packing puzzle where you are given a list of 6 challenges to pick specific pieces from ...

This is a fun little puzzle where you have to put together the pieces to form a cube. Its the perfect level of difficulty.

Description from CubicDissection: New Melting Block by John Rausch is an improved version of Tom Obeirne's original Melting Block puzzle. This paradoxical 3-D packing puzzle has two unique assemblies, one using seven pieces and the other using all eight. There are two possible solutions for each assembly.The seven-piece solution seems to fill the box entirely, with little room to spare. The leftover block seems far too large to fit in the box...yet somehow, impossibly, the eighth piece does fit...

The Stomachion is perhaps the world's oldest puzzle. Very difficult to solve. this 14-piece puzzle is attributed to Archimedes of Greece (287 BC - 212 BC). Each of the pieces has an area that is a rational fraction (a multiple of 1/48th) of the total area of the dissected parallelogram.

Three very different framed packing puzzles in one, with 5 identical Walnut pieces, 5 identical Cherry pieces and 5 identical Maple pieces. The goal is to fit each set of the same shape/wood flat into the Canarywood frame. Puzzling Time's best puzzle of 2019.

A unique anti-slide puzzle in 3-dimensions! The pieces inside form a soma cube, but the real challenge comes in trying to fill the top surface in anti-slide conditions (no pieces fall down or move when the box is slid form side to side). Puzzle was properly stored.

“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 a huge number of possible assemblie...

Dr. Volker Latussek wrote about it:“Some years ago I experimented with notched logs in a 5x5x5 box and discovered a wonderful property in the interaction of the different parts. I settled on six copies of each of two shapes. HARUN (aka GUILLOTINE) with its two very simple shapes should be a beginner’s box-packing puzzle. But it didn’t quite turn out that way. This year I searched for more simple pairs of shapes whose arrangement is also very interesting. I have found two pairs – one of t...

Frederic Boucher is one of the best packing puzzle designers out there - Cubi 361 is possibly one of his slightly easier designs - but that doesn't mean to say it's easy! I would probably describe it as having the perfect difficulty for a packing puzzle, with some nice aha moments on the way to a nice solution. I think the box was damaged when it arrived, so I re-glued it, hence the sloppy glue work, sorry (see image). This probably makes it a good opportunity for someone to buy a rare design f...

Ryan is an up and coming designer with plenty of bright ideas. He designs puzzles that would be tricky to produce without the magic of 3D prints, and has excellent colour choices. Loose marbles is a very interesting design as you have to find a place for 3 small ball bearings, as well as more standard packing puzzle pieces - where could they go I wonder??Will come beutifully packed in the original mesh bag.If you like the look of Ryan's work I encourage you to follow his etsy store, careful tho...
