Abraham's Well by Brian Young (aka Mr Puzzle)
Sequential Discovery, come with original box.From the Mr Puzzle Website:There are elements in the puzzle Brian would consider as much easier than 10/10. But he’s incorporated completely new ideas in this puzzle too so that always throws a spanner in the works and makes the puzzle harder. Overall, we do think it’s a very difficult puzzle. To work it out with his intended solution we believe its definitely worthy of the 10/10 rating.The making of Abraham’s Well puzzle has been a huge under...

Another excellent SD by Alan Lunsford!! A little about myself and the puzzles. I am a solver / collector. I try to collect various types of puzzles from various designers / makers.

Buffalo Nickel Puzzle
The Buffalo Nickel Puzzle is based on the Nine-and-a-half-Moves
puzzle by M. Oskar van Deventer. It is composed of just three pieces
that fit together in such a way to hide a secret compartment. Although
the three pieces are flat and lie in a single plane, it takes a
remarkable 9 1/2 moves to solve.Originally made by George Miller for IPP 20 in Los Angeles, I believe this was subsequently reproduced by Bits & Pieces and is what is offered here.It is basically a two dimensional three pi...

ResQ by Frederic Boucher & Eric Fuller (RPP)
ResQ is a unique Sequential Discovery Puzzle based on Boucher's brilliant Visitor Q. We took the original design and modified it by adding additional goals, tools, and tricks. ResQ is the result of nearly three months of prototyping and features previously unseen concepts and hardware.
The brilliance of Boucher's VQ design is in the depth of possible movements and states the puzzle can be in. Visitor Q is very much like a maze; you find configurations that won't allow you to progress and mus...

Nipple Bolt by Wil Strijbos
Wil Strijbos made several bolt puzzles, including this design.The goal is to remove the ring (see last picture, no spoiler).This design is easily recognised because of the nipple in the end of the bolt.This is WS #8 according to Haubrichs catalog of bolt and nut puzzles.This copy has a few rusty patches, in the thread and on the pin that extends from the nut.This does not affect the puzzle fuctionality.

Unsafe Deposit and Bolt Action by Alan Lusford
Unsafe Deposit and Bolt Action have been considered by the MPD to be gateway puzzles into the Sequential Discovery genre for good reasons. They're cheap and easy to get while also being excellent puzzles with tools and quirks to be discovered!An enjoyable puzzle for sure, but I need to clear out some space in my collection (not that selling these two tiny puzzles will net me much room). Also, they're being sold as a bundle, because if you have one then you need to own the other one.They also hav...

Topless Box
Topless Box had me confounded for a VERY long time. The 'aha' moment for this one is why it is so sought after. Here is the description from the website:Topless Box by Eric Fuller was my contribution to the legendary Apothecary Puzzle Chest. Topless is an unusual challenge; with two lids and no top, how can it be opened? The solution is tricky and will surprise you. Originally released in 2012, we found strong demand with our re-release last year and decided to make one more batch for newer col...

16 to 1 ring maze
A reproduction from a turn of the century promotional piece during the presidential election of 1896.This puzzle design is almost equal to Hanayama's cast laby puzzle, produced around 1996.The main differences are the text and the colour.It comes with a solution sheet that also describes the background of the design.The goal is to navigate the double sided maze on one of the two rings and ultimately seperate the two parts.
