BonBon by Frederic Boucher (RPP)
The "BonBon" packing puzzle by Frederic Boucher is just a ton of fun. The set of five tetrominos must be fully inserted in the rectangular box, and there is only one very specific way to do it. The solution requires well over a dozen correct moves, including rotations.
The box itself is very unusual, with cutouts in the top and sides. The acrylic top is held in place with a tricky set of shoulders resulting in a great fit which retains a solid exterior presentation.
BonBon is constructed w...

Boxy by László Molnár Oddball
"Boxy by László Molnár is a unique packing puzzle concept. You must pack the five simple pieces into a clever box with a rotating and connected top/bottom panel. Joined by a dowel, the top and bottom move together and therefore limit access to the interior. As the box fills with pieces, the movement of the lid is increasingly restricted. Despite multiple possible configurations, you can assemble only one in a particular order. Boxy is a fun, challenging puzzle.
I'm thrilled with how this...

Pack Six by Eric Fuller Oddball
Pack Six was designed by Eric Fuller back in 2003. This six-piece Packing Puzzle is deceptively tricky...it looks easy. Yet when most try to solve it, they are engaged quite a bit longer than expected. Just when you think you have it assembled that last block is in the wrong place. Piece analysis only gets you so far, making Pack Six an enjoyable challenge for both experienced and newer collectors.
