DaVinci's Secret
DaVinci's Secret was #1 in a series of puzzles (the first 4 are all listed here) that were to lead to a larger meta-puzzle through clues given with each puzzle (scrolls and markings and so on). This is manufactured by Family Games in Ontario, part of their "Sacred Myths and Legends" series. This weighs a massive 3.7 pounds, so buyers beware; it will be costly to ship.

Stickman No. 6 Puzzlebox (Grandfather Clock)

Stickman No. 20 (Lighthouse)
This Stickman No. 20 Puzzlebox is handcrafted from purpleheart, with intricate diamond shaped maple inlays. Its rocky cliff base is carved out from walnut, leopardwood and paduk.

Stickman No. 11 Puzzlebox (Fulcrum)
The Stickman No. 11 Puzzlebox evokes the strategy of leverage. Each move on this puzzle manipulates levers that then allow future moves. This is a rather simple puzzle to solve. It only requires 7 moves to reach both of its hidden chambers, but it is a stunning puzzle to look at and fun to play with.
These puzzles were limited to only 35 completed copies. I am unsure of the limited edition number of this particular puzzle, and if it came with an instruction book initially, then I can no ...

Stickman Mahogany Chest
This Stickman Mahogany Chest is one of the very first projects to bear the Stickman logo. It is hand crafted entirely from mahogany, with a lid crafted of mosaic of pieces so strongly interlocked that it can easily support my weight. In fact the entire thing is very sturdy. This is not really a puzzle as much as a large hope chest, with sliding knick knak tray and lots of drawers and compartments (some of them secret). For nostalgia the original sales leaflet is still taped under the lid, an...

Stickman No. 12 Puzzlebox (Cross Box)
This Stickman No. 12 Puzzlebox requires a special inlaid block to be internally maneuvered to a one particular position before its secret compartment will open. Manipulate the same block to another position on the other end, and the drawer will pull out further to reveal a second hidden chamber.
Though all blocks are identical, maneuvering them around within their cage is not an easy task and often requires a good deal of advanced planning. Each move is allowed or restricted by the blocks ...
