Storey Maze by Tamás Vanyó
I've made several maze puzzles in the past and they were all tricky and interesting. But they were also approachable and sometimes downright friendly. Storey Maze is neither. This puzzle packs a whopping ONE HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT moves before the first piece comes out. That's just...insane. It took so long to assemble them I'm charging a fee for the ones that were assembled. But I left about a third of them unassembled for those who want a lower price and a harder time :) This is one downright evi...

Event Horizon by Tim Alkema
Tim has been doing some very interesting work with regular burr pieces interacting with loose elements inside cages. I wanted to make one of his designs but there were several to choose from and it was a tough choice. I eventually settled on Event Horizon as a good representative of the concept. Four standard burr pieces dance around with a single cube in a box. The box has an unusual opening in the top and bottom, and hidden protrusions inside. The level 20.4.6.7.3 (whew!) solution is very diff...

Dual Maze by Tamás Vanyó
I very much enjoyed making William Hu's "Simultaneous Maze" puzzle for the last update, so when I saw that Tamás had made a sequel using two mazes and one pin, I knew I had to make it. Vanyó's design uses an identical top and bottom plate to confuse and trick the solver. I won't say much about the solution but it's a lot of fun and not what you would expect. An excellent addition to your collection, and a must have to compliment the Simultaneous design.Construction was very time consuming for ...

Moonflight by Osanori Yamamoto
This tricky puzzle by Osanori has an interesting appearance as well as an interesting solution. The two halves of the frame create a maze internally which changes state as you slide the pieces back and forth. The internal pieces dance around, moving in and out and about each other until finally they (hopefully) find their final resting spot with a symmetrical solution. Given a unique level 20.2.5 solution, this could not be called a simple puzzle, but neither is it hopelessly difficult. The obvi...

Cage for 4 Sticks by Stephane Chomine
This attractive piece of art is also a dang tricky puzzle. Four sticks interact with a straightforward cage in vary non-straightforward ways. The unique level 24.6.3 solution means what it says - this puzzle's not joking around. Figuring out which piece goes where is only the beginning, since some of them switch around during assembly. Order at your own peril - I'm shipping this assembled in the spirit of friendship - craftsman is not liable for any lost sleep!Construction of solid wood througho...

Rail Box by Yavuz Demirhan
Rail Box looks like just another caged burr at first glance. It's only after playing with it that the genius of the design is apparent. Four identical vertical pieces dance around the two longer horizontal pieces to create a unique level 18 solution. Not only do you need to determine the position, but orientation becomes important as well. A nice challenge for the seasoned puzzler, yet approachable for the intermediate / beginner.************************************************************For mu...

Nine Theta by Jerry Loo
Made in the same fashion (and intended as a companion to) 2014's "Rail Box", Nine Theta takes the same piston concept even further down the road. While the solution is a couple moves fewer than the Rail Box (15.3 instead of 18), it's more confusing due to the increased number of pieces. This is a damn difficult puzzle, even for the seasoned collector!Construction of this puzzle is excellent, with through cage joinery, milled solid pieces and bevels all around. Fit is dead-on.********************...

Triangle Ring 3 by Osanori Yamamoto
Kevin Sadler wrote about it:“Triangle ring looks like it might be fairly easy due to the huge amount of manipulation space available with the 2 holes in the frame. However counteracting this is the fact that the pieces to be placed have a total of 26 cubies and thus there is only a single gap to allow the pieces to move once packed. The solution is an absolutely beautiful logical progression which you will only find by thought and not random movements. A brilliant starter for this release seri...

STC #240 Double Cross by Stewart Coffin
STC #244 Double Cross hand crafted and signed in pencil by Stewart Coffin.Double Cross was Tom Rodgers exchange puzzle at IPP 29 in San Francisco. Designated #240 by Stewart Coffin, it looks fairly simple with six thicker sticks intersected by six thinner sticks. Solving it is anything but, as the angles are very confusing and you always end up with that one piece that won't fit. I'm delighted with this puzzle, it's a heck of a lot of fun. Difficult enough to challenge an experienced puzzler whi...

Box Rebellion by Stewart Coffin (RPP)
Box Rebellion was previously released as an IPP exchange puzzle in 2004 by Walt Hoppe. Similar to the wildly popular 4L design, Box Rebellion is a tricky multiple-step packing puzzle with a single solution. The four identical pieces must be packed into the box but are blocked by an odd-shaped acrylic slider over the top which only allows one side of the box to be accessible at a time. The solution includes multiple rotations.For multiple items, combined shipping is available. Simply message me...
