Trinity Infinity from Doug Engel (Bits and Pieces)Three-piece metal take apart (or disentanglement) puzzle.  The goal is to take the three pieces apart and reassemble again.  I found it fairly easy to take apart, but a little more challenging to put back together.  A review can be found here: http://mypuzzlecollection.blogspot.com/2012/02/trinity-infinity.htmlIt has been solved several times, and is in used condition.  There is minor but noticeable wear on the pieces.  Some of the sm...

Casino packing puzzle made by Eric Fuller.  This was one of the the final release copies sold in the summer of 2019.  Excellent condition.

Original description (2014) :Dan is a new designer and brought a fresh idea to the table with Shake Something. This level 14 packing puzzle uses four burr pieces in a box and is anything but simple. The name comes from the fact that you have to turn the box various directions and shake it to accomplish some of the moves. While all the pieces are visible, many of the underlaying interactions are not, so this is a much trickier puzzle than the piece count would lead you to believe. This is a very ...

Looks like a regular 18-piece burr but there is a twist. Bill describes it on his web site:-The original design of The Slider was done in the early 1960's. The puzzle looks like a standard 18-piece burr (which I had not seen before at the time I designed it). To unlock the burr, one needs to move three pieces in different directions at the same time (coordinate motion). I used slant cuts to enforce this.In 2010 I decided to use this design as the basis for my souvenir puzzle. The puzzle was made...

Discontinued Artisan series version of 4L from 2018. Very popular and difficult to find, 4L was awarded an Honorable Mention at IPP 2015 and is FAR trickier than it looks. The goal is to pack the four L shaped pieces into a very simple box. There are two different types of L pieces (fat and thin) and several possible configurations. The solution is extremely creative and devious.

Impossible Chain was Saul Bobroffs exchange puzzle at IPP25 in Finland, 2005.This puzzle is impossible to take apart (in a non-desctuctive way), but how was it posible to put it together... or was it not possible at all?The goal is to imagine how this impossible chain was made out of 2 zebrawood ring/block pieces and 4 silicone rings that have no seams. Even on very close inspection this seems impossible!= = = = = over 70 IPP25 exchange puzzles available, see my other listings = = = = =

This is the "new" version of Kohno Ichiro's Ninja Tool Box from IPP30. I need to reluctantly sell some pieces from my collection to replenish puzzle funds; all puzzles are kept in a pet-free room between 68 and 73 F, and between 45% and 50% humidity.

Remove the 5 pieces from the 2 piece frame. They can spell either Tokyo or Kyoto. Solution is provided and shows a 52 move solution to remove TOKYO and a seperate 52 move solution to spell Kyoto.Unusual for a puzzle from Wil to have a solution given !

The idea for the Escalating Box came from a couple of different mechanisms I'd been fooling around with. I was going to release them as two fairly simple separate boxes but realized that I could put them both into one trickier box. I made a poll on our Facebook Group and everyone overwhelmingly voted for a single, more difficult box. Done and done!I got to the drawing board and realized not only could I put both mechanisms together, but that they would interact making the sum more difficult than...

Great Collision from Doug Engel (Bits and Pieces)Beautiful looking 3-piece metal take apart puzzle.  The goal is to free the plastic ball in the center by taking apart the 3 metal pieces.  I thought the solution (and reassembly) wasn’t too difficult.  I enjoyed displaying it with my metal puzzle collection though, especially given its size, weight, and theme.The puzzle is in great condition, with no major scratches or marks.  Scuff marks will develop on the black coating as the pu...

A TIC-type design by Ken Irvine described by Brian on his Wood Wonders site:-Another of Ken Irvine's clever designs is this Rotational Cube (well not really a cube) The 3x4x4 Puzzle has a rather difficult to discover assembly. No many moves but still a good challenge I think. I spent several evenings trying to put my copy together before I was forced to break down and ask Ken for the solution so that could get back to making them! Made from exotic hardwoods.Only four pieces but far from simple.

This one is an amazing looking very early design by M.Toulouzas.Please note the puzzle is sold unassembled as I never managed to solve that one.The craftmanship is amazing, these edges are pretty sharp!Here is what Mike tells about it:
