Stickman Dwemer Construct Puzzleboxes are
quality hand-crafted by puzzle artist Robert Yarger
from walnut & sapele, (with maple accents and
inlays). They are limited in edition to 60 completed
pieces.
The Dwemer name comes from an ancient lost
race of elves in the Elder Scrolls, well known for
their skills in crafting mechanical items, similar to
this style of box. This puzzle is initially of moderate
difficulty, but once solved, all mechanical
components come apart and can be recombined,
(with some additional pieces found inside), to craft
a more complex secondary solution mechanism.
Crafting this second solution is a puzzle of its own, and in my opinion, the most fun aspect of
this box.
Essentially with this box, puzzle solvers
gets a taste of what designers get to do as
they create a new design. I find it more
enjoyable to design puzzles than to solve
them myself. The beauty of this secondary
solution is that the assembly of its pieces
provides few clues to how it is solved. In
essence, this box is three puzzles in one. An
additional alternate solution was also planned
for this project, but time and funding ran out.
Particular parts have noticeable sockets,
rods, or odd mechanical shapes that appear to
do nothing, but have obvious mechanical
applications. These were crafted this way as part of this third solution design. It is my hope to
revisit the project in the future, and perhaps offer these additional parts to those desiring to
upgrade their version.
