The Pin Cubes series by William Hu are three new cubes based on a 3x3x3 structure. By including drilled holes and pins, each puzzle in the set takes advantage of this format in a different way and creates three very different experiences.  Designed to be tricky in both disassembly as well as assembly, they are a new take on an old idea, and well worth a look. Pinwheel (Maple) is the easiest of the three. The most 'standard' of them, with five moves to remove the first piece - a level that's im...

Tube It In is a classic design by Wil Strijbos. To solve it you have to take the various small rectangular pieces and pack them all inside each other. Wil originally made it with small cut sections of metal pipe! What an original and fun idea, still unique to this day. The puzzle itself is moderately tricky and fun to solve.Construction of this puzzle is painstaking. Each piece is strengthened with shouldered joinery on the edges and then beveled on all faced. This was very tricky indeed with su...

Tabula Cube is a very interesting puzzle. The 3x3 cube format is augmented with eighteen smaller planks which connect with the cubes to make nine different shapes. The level 1.7.2 solution is tricky to disassemble and very challenging to assemble. Tabula is a lot of work to make, with 45 component pieces and very precise gluing requirements. We may not sell it out immediately but that's ok...it's a unique puzzle and I'm looking forward to having a copy in my own collection.**********************...

2-in-1 is a twelve piece interlocking burr with a unique solution and a couple challenges; the first puzzle is to figure out what shape it makes, and the second is to make that shape. Ingenious design using full notches makes finding a solution more difficult, as the open spaces concealed in the puzzle allow more false starts.This puzzle is shipped disassembled.************************************************************For multiple items, combined shipping is available.

Boron is a moderately difficult puzzle that displays like a piece of sculpture once it's solved. The 12 pieces are made with contrasting hardwoods and precision-crafted in our North Carolina workshop. Its interlocking nature means that several pieces have to shift around to release the first piece. This puzzle is a lot of fun and a great addition to anyone's collection, beginner or advanced. Boron is delivered disassembled.************************************************************For multiple...

Rupture by Alexander Magyarics is a tricky space-filling puzzle. While adding the pieces into the box is not too difficult, the proper solution requires you to fill the openings completely. No gaps are allowed, and no rotations are necessary. With a unique level 6.6.3 solution, this is easier said than done!************************************************************For multiple items, combined shipping is available.

I'm glad to be revisiting this fun design! Originally released with limited availability in 2015, the Chicken Puzzle boasts an impressive level 10 solution and a hidden surprise.  The 2020 version was upgraded with an improved chicken byproduct retention system. Yellowheart and Cherry offset each other for that pleasing chicken look without all the annoying chicken poop everywhere. Or do they...? Construction techniques used in this puzzle are unique. The Yellowheart cage is made of only six p...

Geneva is the first new puzzle by William Hu in quite some time. Named after the clockwork mechanism that it's partially inspired by, the level 9.3.4 solution includes some very unique rotations and coordinate motions. During assembly, there's a fair amount of freedom, with a lot of dead ends to run into and circles to run around in. Geneva is a nice addition to any TIC collection.************************************************************For multiple items, combined shipping is available. Simp...

Are you ready? No. You're not ready. This puzzle is a BEAST.Puzzler's Cage was designed by Junichi Yananose in 1999 without the aid of a computer. He describes it as “crazy hard”. The puzzle has more interlock than should be possible, with half of the stick ends captive in notched perpendicular pieces. Even with instructions, assembly is a daunting task.We used three different woods to give clues for solving. The beautiful tones of Bubinga, Schedua and Black Palm ensure this will hold a priz...

The puzzle is a set similar to the Penultimate Burr with multiple problems to be solved. The set consists of a 4×4×4 cage with a 2×2 opening on each face and 14 non-planar penta/tetracubes. The objective is to fill the cage with four of the pentacubes and three tetracubes to complete a 4×4 cube. A jig is provided for testing possible solutions outside the cage, as well as a box which doubles as a display plinth for the solved puzzle. This is a difficult puzzle, with two assemblies having a ...

Double Slideways is a brilliant design and I'm glad we found time to make it again! This is a re-release of Ray's excellent exchange puzzle we last produced in 2014. The exchange edition was in a smaller format and fully notched for production efficiency. This remake is in a larger size and features augmented construction with a triangular stock insert. As a result, there is less void space once assembled, giving this edition smoother operation and more stability in the solved state.We used a ve...

The goal of Fano Blocks is to pack seven pairs of identical rectangular pieces flush into the box. These aren't just any pieces, however! They possess unique properties: any two distinct blocks share precisely one edge length in common and any set of two specific edge lengths are held by two identical blocks. The resulting number of edge-matching combinations creates a complicated problem. Finding even one of the eight possible solutions is an accomplishment.Named after the Fano plane (the small...

With a level 24.2.2.2.4 solution, Spy is definitely hiding something!

Tenchi is a brilliant anti-gravity packing puzzle named after a Japanese word that translates to both "Sky" and "Land," the goal is to pack the pieces into the frame so that the puzzle can be lifted and rotated without any part falling out.There are over four thousand possible assemblies, but only one unique assembly locks the pieces. While challenging, Tenchi is not impossible; analysis and experimentation provide enough insight that you may find the solution using critical thought.We used nine...

This second release of Lift Box incorporates a couple of design improvements over the last version. Customer reviews of the previous release describe the box well:"Removing the lid of the Lift Box is easy, but this does not allow to access the inside of the box and here the actual solve starts. The box has an unusual mechanism, and first time I have seen one like that. There are some carefully hidden hints in the design that give you a rough idea what may be required, but actually finding the mo...
