The Grooved Three Piece Burr by Kouki Kusumi is an interesting assembly. With three identical pieces, it takes the standard shape and mixes things up. Despite being identical, the pieces interact uniquely. With a level 8.2 solution, this puzzle is approachable yet fun for all experience levels.You can see in the picture that one puzzle piece has slightly darker grain than the rest.

Place all six T-shaped pieces into the box so that you can place the top onto the box to lay flush. There are a few impediments attached to the inside of the box to make your life a little harder.

Slideways by Ray Stanton and Akio Yamamoto is one of our favorite Interlocking Burrs. Three simple, identical pieces combine to form the symmetrical shape. The solution is trickier than it seems, and some struggle even after even seeing it performed in front of them. There is a tricky concept in play that must be understood; once discovered, the pieces' smooth movement is addicting. Slideways is not the most challenging puzzle, but it just may become your favorite.*******************************...

We received several requests to remake this classic design by Stewart Coffin, featured as design number 185 in the Ap-Art book and challenged by the author to "Try your luck on this one - or test your patience!" As a follow up to the previous Blind Slot Machine release in 2005, this edition features a clear acrylic window to view your progress during the solve and a removable top panel which will turn the puzzle into a "Blind Slot Machine" which significantly increases the difficulty. Construct...

Stewart Coffin designed the venerable Half Hour puzzle in 1975, so named because he thought it would take most people about that long to solve it. This variant of Half Hour, STC-29B, is a spin on the classic design. The box features a removable top panel that dovetails into the restricted opening for storage of the solved puzzle. Solving the Half Hour cube will only get you partially there, as the "T" shaped restriction limits the assembly to one solution.Previously existing as a prototype made ...

BonBon packing puzzle by Frederic Boucher is just a ton of fun. The set of five tetrominoes must be fully inserted in the rectangular box, and there is only one particular way to do it. The solution requires over a dozen correct moves and rotations, and must be found by careful analysis rather than random attempts.Accommodating the unusual cutouts in the box was an exciting design challenge. The acrylic top is held in place with a tricky set of shoulders resulting in a tight fit while retaining ...

+Burr (Plus Burr) is a six-piece burr in an unconventional shape designed by Stephan Baumegger in 2015.

I recommend disassembling and scrambling the pieces for a great assembly puzzle.We have made two variants for this release, one with light white oak and rich walnut, and another with bright ash and intricate zebrawood. T...

Six standard burr pieces interlock around two identical tetracube pieces which are hidden inside the belly of the final assembly. The unique solution is an approachable level 3, and figuring out the correct placement of the smaller inside pieces makes it a very fun assembly puzzle. Look out ...
