The Box with a Ribbon designed by Akio Kamei, reproduced by Bits & PiecesThis is a remake of Akio Kamei's Ribbon Box (P-27, "The Box with a Ribbon").  Originally created in 1996, Bits and Pieces seems to have remade it several times since it's been called different names including "Elegant Ribbon Puzzle Box" and "Square Ribbon Box".  This box is specifically catalog #08-7372 (Ribbon Box).I received this with a box of puzzles, and this box still has shrinkwrap protecting the top ribbon.  It lo...

Physically a fairly large and heavy puzzle which also makes for a decent display piece. The Elephant consist of 11 interlocking pieces. There is some order to disassembling the pieces and the reverse is required to put everything back together again. Cherry.

The Akiyama Packing Box is an extremely colorful wooden puzzle crafted by the famous Vinco workshop.  It was was used by perennial Puzzle Exchange participant Pat Major as his exchange puzzle at IPP38, held in San Diego California in 2018.  The object of the puzzle is to form a cube from the eight pieces which will then fit in the accompanying wooden box.  Each piece is a cube with a triangular section removed from the interior and appended to the exterior, with the orientation of the triangl...

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...

Hudson's 3D printed take on a cross puzzle. This puzzle looks like a Stribos one and uses that fact against you. To put it simply: Symmetric Cross is to Alu Cross what Revenge Lock is to Lunatic Lock. Thanks to some innovative mechanisms, it provides a fresh challenge for fans of the genre.

Its name becomes apparent after solving. Leopardwood.

from cubicdissection.com:I saw this puzzle at the IPP design competition this summer and know I had to make it. I was very happy when Mr. Ohno allowed me permission! Cubane is a three dimensional interlocking maze replete with loops and dead ends. It's very reminiscent of the excellent "Wanderer" puzzle by Oskar van Deventer and Tom Lensch. Navigating from start to finish requires a minimum of 15 moves, including rotations, turns and pass throughs. This is a very very fun puzzle to play with!One...

Taiji is a take apart puzzle by Ayi Liu. There are no markings on this one but I am pretty certain that it will have been originally acquired from Wil Strijbos. It won a Jury honorable mention in the 2015 Puzzle Design Competition. I have not fully solved this puzzle but have tested the first couple of moves and they work without issue.******************************This is one of a number of rare/collectible/hard to find puzzles that I (Steve Nicholls) am selling on behalf of Ethel Brokenshire. ...

Small Box Two - "Aha Box" This design was Alan Boardman's IPP exchange puzzle in 2004. He describes it as ""Designed to lure your non-puzzler friends into ""our"" world."" It gives very few clues upon handling...it seems to be solid, with no way to open it. A solution does exist, and it's quite tricky to discover. Sturdy and pocket sized, a great puzzle to share with friends and non-puzzlers. This little box also has a surprisingly useful amount of space inside! Construction of this puzzle is...

Six Slabs is a unique packing puzzle reminiscent of the Hexahedroom design. Six uniform ""slabs"" must be packed into the box, which has three openings in a non-symmetrical pattern. This is complicated by two fixed blocks inside the box. With a level 1.1.9.3.2.3 solution, Six Slabs is non-trivial to solve.Crafted from Curly Maple (box) and Wenge (pieces). Great care was taken during construction, with Wenge accents on the box corners and extremely precise dimensions. Extra attention was spent on...

Taken from the Cubic Dissection Website:MagneTeam packing puzzle incorporates multiple challenges to keep you busy for some time! The first task is packing the three Grandillo pieces into the box so that all openings are filled, giving the illusion of a solid inner cube. The highest level assembly conforms to this requirement, with the other four falling short. The second task shares the same goal with the fourth piece's addition (made from Morado). This arrangement has three possible assemblies...

Leontev's 205 Minutes is a masterpiece in both design and construction. So named because if you make one correct move per second, non stop, it will take you 205 minutes to disassemble. This n-ary juggernaut requires over 12 thousand moves to disassemble. Once disassembled, a reset mechanism allows you to quickly bring it to the original state with only four moves. It also comes with the 136 minute piece which only requires around 8,000 moves to solve. It was a difficult decision to make this ...

Blah Box is the result of the accumulation of ideas I had while trying to design a simple mechanism for the box containing the DDD Burr Puzzle. I wanted to make a simple trick opening mechanism for DDD, but in the end, discarded the idea because it would overly increase the price of the puzzle. I came out of the design session with some solid ideas, which, when combined, turned into a rather interesting box on their own. I was feeling rather "Blah" about my failure with DDD and decided to name t...
