Hajime contacted me out of nowhere and asked if I would be interested in crafting a new puzzle he designed. Given his performance at last years IPP Design Competition, it was a pretty easy sell. Pin Block Case is a unique and very interesting packing puzzle. It's not terribly high level, nor super difficult, yet there's something satisfying about the solution that makes it a wonderful puzzle. This was a hit at IPP and will likely sell out quickly.Construction of this puzzle was painstaking, with...

The puzzle begins with a small Sequential Discovery challenge and, once solved, transitions into a Packing puzzle where the goal is to fit 11 little figures inside the train wa...

Goh Pit Khiam sent me this design and I really liked it. It's a tricky packing puzzle that uses a new type of motion. With five identical pieces (but different wood types) and an acrylic cover, it's a lot of fun to play with and figure out. Moderately difficult, you can feel comfortable handing this off to a non-puzzling friend. Fit is very good, should not have any issues with humidity changes.Note:  This copy has an acrylic floating bottom panel for display in the solved state, which is diff...
