Sticky Barrel by Phil Wigfield is an incredibly popular and incredibly frustrating puzzle, the goal of which is to "simply" remove the plunger from the barrel.  I would rate this as an extremely difficult puzzle.  I was CLUELESS until Eric --- may he be resting in peace and be entertaining those in the "the world to come" with his skills and talents --- was kind enough to send the solution to me.  The puzzle also doubles as an excellent fidget toy!  My copy is complete in it's original box, ...

TriLox is the third generation of "Lox" puzzles started by the great Finnish puzzle designer Vesa Timonen, in which the object is always to pack the truncated cylinders "flat" in the box provided.  First there was "Lox In Box," used by Tomaz Lindén as his exchange puzzle at IPP21 in Tokyo in 2001.  Then came "Lox In Box II" a few years later, also designed by Vesa.  Eric took the concept to a new level, with a solution much more elusive than those of the predecessors, and in my opinion, more...

This copy is from the November 2020 release.Blah Box is a delightful little sequential discovery puzzle box! Not a super extensive solve, but a very tricky one, which might have you fiddling for a fortnight or more - unless you're the most seasoned of solvers! And, puzzling aside, what a beautiful piece it is, just on its own. Excellent to touch and to handle.[This copy of the puzzle has been updated with the small fix that was provided by Cubic Dissection soon after release, which prevents a po...

This was my exchange puzzle from IPP35 held in Ottawa Canada in 2015.  It is based on a design that was used by the Co-operative Wholesale Society (CWS) in England, modified by me to be double-sided, and thus, more diabolical.  (There are 128 possible arrangements of the plates in the modified puzzle, compared to 32 arrangements in the original puzzle.)  The objective of the puzzle is to stack the three wooden plates such that fifteen Ottawa "O's" are visible.  I will supply a copy of the so...

2LIT is a fresh packing puzzle concept by Kris Antibus and Matthew Hochberg. The goal is to fit five pieces into a rather unique box. The opening to the box is a sliding panel with a notch, and a block fixed on the inside. The movement of this panel creates a changing state which significantly complicates the solving process. With no external tools allowed or required, you'll have to summon all your creativity to defeat this clever opponent!We manufactured 2LIT with a Maple top and bottom combin...

EVERYONE knows the 5-piece square puzzle.  Well, here is a British dime store (twopenny-halfpenny store?) version from the '50's or '60's (no later than 1965), "Five Block Puzzle," one of dozens of novelty items produced by the E&S Novelty Company.  There is something appealing about the "kitchyness" of the presentation of the puzzle; collectible much more for the packaging and presentation as opposed to the puzzle.  If you want a 50+ year old example of how a classic puzzle made it into popu...

Selling my copy of Six Doors! This was a really fun one and very addicting to resolve! Six Doors by Yavuz Demirhan is a variation on the classic six-piece burr shape. The added rings around the endgrain resemble a stile and rail door once the puzzle is assembled. Each ring complicates the movement of the pieces to reach a formidable but approachable level 14 solution.Yavuz had originally released this design in 2012, and since then has optimized the puzzle to increase the level from 12 to 14 mo...

In 2022, Doug Menzies [aka 'Doog' of 'Doogaloo Games'], created only ten copies of what he entitled 'The Maths Box'This is copy #7 of that oh-so-limited run. The mixture of wood and metal looks incredible.The puzzler must find the dial for the combination lock, as well as determining the combination itself, via a number of mathematical riddles.(Doog previously created the 'Precision Box' and 'The Red-Herring Box'. The RHB is one of a kind and is currently on a world tour from puzzler to puzzler...
