Missing Tile is a 7/8, 2D packing puzzle. The goal is to fit the 7 larger pieces into the frame and then add the smallest 8th piece and fit them all in the frame. The beauty of this design is that based on the shape of the inside of the frame and a few of the pieces, both solutions fit "perfectly" into the frame.

One piece is missing an angled notch, which obviates the obvious coordinate motion assembly. Can you figure out the alternate methodology?This puzzle came out very nicely, with a precise fit and a solid maple cube with magnets on each face to keep the inherently unstable assembly together once solved.This puzzle is shipped ...

The Exolution IV Puzzle is a sliding, interlocking wooden puzzle with a marble inside. This puzzle also includes a new feature: a steel ball bearing. This feature was suggested by someone who purchased one of the older Exolution puzzles, and thank you for the suggestion. Without giving away the purpose of the bearing, as it's part of the puzzle, let me just say: "NO EXCESSIVE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO OPEN THIS PUZZLE!" If a piece won't move fully or at all, then you need to try something else. Thi...
