Japanese puzzle box designed by Fumio Tsuburai of the Karakuri Creation Group.New, and only opened once to check functionality.

From Eric Fuller's description:The "Topless Box" is my contribution to the project. I originally was only going to make enough for the submission, but got pretty excited about the design once it was finished, and decided to make it a larger run. I've seen a fair number of boxes and this one has what I believe are some unique characteristics. Unfortunately I can't show much detail of the inside of the box without giving away the workings. I can say that the box has two lids, and neither a top nor...

From cubic dissection.com:Tom emailed me this design a while back and kind of downplayed it. I thought it was a brilliant idea. As usual, I was right :-) This 5x5 cube is a shell with a hollow interior. Inside the cube is another 2x2 cube, minus one unit. The internal cube interacts with the shell in a maddening way, interfering with what should be a straightforward disassembly. There's even dead ends and false solutions. The large hole in the shell is there so you can poke your finger in and ma...

A nice puzzle that is not so easy to find now.

I picked this puzzle up second hand as part of a larger puzzle group and unfortunately the Cigar was missing from the puzzle when I acquired it.There are some very minor marks to one side of the puzzle that I assumehave arisen subsequent to purchase - I've been unable to get a clear picture of them and they are barely noticeable they - are most visible on the last picture with the black background.Eric's original description was as follows :"This final installation of the Havana's box is the "Br...

Eric's Description: This puzzle is a joint effort between Pit Khiam Goh and Eric Fuller. Pit designed the B-Box, which is a cross between a secret-opening type of box and a burr - inspired by Super-CUBI but with a much simpler mechanism. It also has an insane level 135.9.2 solution! The panels slide frictionlessly and end with a satisfying click...this is a really nice puzzle.Once you conquer the 135 moves of the B-Box you will find another, entirely separate puzzle box waiting inside. Called th...

As per Mr. Fuller:This design was inspired by the interior of the previous box I made, the Reactor Box. The final interior box was held in place by a couple strong magnets, and felt like a button when pushed. It made me think about the things I could do with an apparently simple box that just had a button to push. I like to take advantage of people's assumptions, and everyone has them when it comes to a button! So I set about thinking up designs...I came up with a lot of ideas. Therefore, this w...

Designed and made by Brian Young @ Mr Puzzle.The challenge is to work your way through the puzzle to find the barrel of oil.You've inherited this oil well from Uncle Bubba who plugged it in a very tricky way back in the 1960's when oil was selling for under AU $3.00US $2.30 a barrel.

from Karakuri website:The “binary” is used by different way until now. This way may be more primitive usage. Unlock the drawers by moving the bars. To see the number of 3 and 8 did you get a hint? Each bar means each place of binary. When a bar is opened, it means 1, and a bar is closed, it means 0. Each drawer means 0, 1, 2, ….and 7. “Move up of digit” is expressed more exactly. Similar mechanism will be possible at trinary and others. But, more than at least 18 drawers must be made i...

From karakuri website:Three cubes are connected.It is impossible to separate them.One of joining plates is the key.If you slide the 1st step plate of one box, you can not open the other two boxes.It takes 38 (8+7+8+7+8) moves to open all the lids at the same time.This box is completely different from Snake Cube(KW-6).I developed completely new mechanism. Created : 04/2011Size : 148×148×148 mm 

Kawashima's excellent Christmas Present from 2013...from his Karakuri listing:This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2013.The purpose of almost all karakuri boxes is to open a lid. However, the goal of this box is to take the ring off of the box. Although the mechanism is different, the purpose is the same as KW-17. ** I have not done any checking of movements other than accessories. It may be impossible to remove it according to the form of the ring.

Kawashima's excellent Christmas Present from 2014..from his Karakuri listing:The purpose is the same as Ring box(KW-17),Ring box 2(KW-20).I made this with every mischievousness, but mechanism is simple.
