Legend of the King was #3 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 3.5 pounds, so buyers beware; it will be costly to ship.

This is manufactured by Family Games in Ontario, part of their "Sacred Myths and Legends" series. This weighs almost 2 pounds without packing materials, so buyers beware; it will be costly to ship.

This one is basically a tray puzzle with a restriction (2 colors of pieces), interesting to solve.

This Stickman No. 6 Puzzlebox is crafted from oak, with bloodwood inlays and intricate wooden gears that actually make the clock hands turn. This puzzle is identical to the one that Jerry Slocum received at IPP for his retirement present. The puzzle requires manipulating its internal gears and levers until that the clock reaches midnight, after which two more unique moves are required to access its single hidden drawer. Figuring out how to manipulate these gears is half the fun. Once the ...

This Stickman No. 24 Puzzlebox is filled with personality and takes the classic style Kumiki puzzle to the next level. It is a must have for those who appreciate such puzzles. The puzzle must be partially solved to access the two hidden compartments in its base, but after that can be entirely take apart (even the base) into 26 pieces that are quite challenging to re-assemble. In all, it requires a minimum of 25 steps to fully solve. The puzzle is crafted from Mahogany, Paduk and Maple, me...

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. The unique aspect of this puzzle is that the decorative bricks on the corners of lighthouse tower also serve as screw-threads. As it rotates, this external disk will move up and down the tower shaft upon these threads. At certain positions, this thread action changes in mechanical output and will also cause s...

Stickman No. 2 Puzzleboxes were made in several different wood type variations. This particular puzzle was hand crafted from red oak. Like all versions, it has the intricate inlay of a tree on its top (picture). The puzzle requires a minimum of 55 moves and is of moderate difficulty to solve all 4 of its hidden compartments. The puzzle is in perfect working condition, (though some of its moves are just a hair on the tight side, and could possibly be even be tighter in exceptionally ...

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 ...

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...

This Stickman No. 17 puzzle box is crafted from Bloodwood, Cocobolo, Yellowheart and Wenge. Solving entry into its two hidden compartments requires manipulating the cage that surrounds it up/down, left/right and forward/back as pegs in the care intersect with the maze pattern on the exterior of the box. It requires a minimum of 37 moves to reach both compartments. A total of 40 of these puzzles were made, and this one is # 1 out of the limited edition set, and is the one pictured in the St...

This Stickman No. 18 Puzzlebox is quality hand crafted from Cocobolo, Bloodwood, Monticello and Holly. Its single hidden compartment can not be accessed until the wooden ball inside is somehow removed from the external cage that surrouds it on all sides. The process requires a minimum of 10 steps of manipulating the spines on the ball through various notches in the cage. The puzzle is in perfect condition. It measures 3” round and comes with its original official leaflet, (no instructio...

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 ...

This Stickman Snowball is a larger version of the Stickman No. 9 (Snowflake) puzzlebox. It is identical in design, though larger and crafted from walnut instead of holly. This puzzle requires a minimum of 7 moves to open and can then be taken apart into 6 individual pieces that are quite challenging to re-assemble. This puzzle comes with its original Stickman leaflet.

This Stickman No. 22 is crafted from a patchwork of exotic interlocking wood pieces that sequentially slide, eventually freeing up parts that can be then recombined to form a sinlge wooden key. Additional progressions are then required to discover a hole that this key can go in to unlock its single hidden chamber. This is an incredibly intricate design, with each step seldom revealing its next step of progression. This particular puzzle is in perfect working order, and is one of the better...

This Stickman No. 25 Puzzlebox consists of an intimidating arrangement of highly ornate and inlaid mechanics that must be figured out in order to solve the puzzle, and therefore free an original copy of the Stickman Milestone Puzzlebook found inside. The extensive amount of detail that went into this puzzle is astounding, and only done as a special edition celebration for producing my 1000th completed puzzle. In fact, this particular puzzle was kept back for my personal collection “becaus...

This Stickman No. 8 Puzzlebox is a unique in that the same move does not always produce an identical result. The logical algorithm of its internal mechanics must be deduced before its hidden drawer can be revealed, and even then there is a very ingenious tricky move left that will boggle the mind. A minimum of 18 to 40 moves are required (depending on the initial setting) in order to access its single hidden drawer. Puzzle measures 7” x 3” x 3”, is crafted from purpleheart with mapl...

This Stickman No. 5 Puzzlebox is crafted from maple, walnut, cherry and bloodwood, and requires a minimum of 32 moves to get open. An additional 3 moves will also allow it to come apart into more than 75 individual solid wood pieces. The puzzle uses no glue, but is entirely held together only by the shapes of its parts. These puzzles are limited to 45 completed pieces, and this particular box is # 1 of the limited edition set. Puzzle measures 11” x 6” x 5” and comes with its orig...

What a wonderfully insane but fun puzzle this Stickman No. 7 Puzzlebox is. It puts all sleuthing, advanced planning, strategy and memory retention skills to the test, and is definitely one that will hone all mental abilities to their sharpest point. Moving any drawer to its desired position first requires positioning the drawers on both its sides. Positioning those drawers requires doing the same for the drawers next to them (which comes back to repositioning the original drawer you were tryi...

This Stickman No. 23 Puzzlebox places the beauty and strength of quality solid wood hinges as the focal point of is design and beauty. The only problem is that with hinges on every side, opening any lid is impossible. Lids can slide back and forth a bit on their hinge pins, but not enough to actually access any of its four compartments. The center dials on each end also turn, (sliding around internal drawers,) but this also accomplishes little in regards to getting the first lid open. Thi...

The Stickman Snowflake puzzlebox comes closer to meeting my "personal criteria of a perfect puzzlebox” than any other puzzle crafted by me before or since. It is symmetrical, eloquent in its simplicity while moderately complex in its solution, -- all while being two puzzles in one, and being held entirely together by the shape of its pieces without any glue. It also serves a purpose in that it was originally crafted to go on a Christmas tree. This is one of the original snowflake puzzles gi...
