Description

I joined the puzzling world back in August 2020, and Ansel came out September or October 2020 which makes it one of the very first puzzles I've ever bought. It was a gentle and enjoyable introduction to the puzzling category called Sequential Discovery even if it's not the very first SD I've done (that's First Box).

It's tricky to even find the very first step and Brandon is evil for preying on our assumptions. But once you get past that part, the rest of the puzzle isn't any easier as you fumble your way through cursing at the seemingly random behaviors.

Truthfully, I don't want to sell this puzzle, but I want the cash to buy new puzzles and to winnow down my collection after people reminded me that I still had this puzzle with the release of the Rainbow Ansel. As of posting this, there are still at least 2 acrylic versions in stock on Brandon's website for only $50 which is much cheaper than buying this copy.

I accept Paypal, but there are no extra Paypal fees, since I consider it to be the responsibility of the seller rather than the buyer.

I accept Transferwise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS.

Buyer chooses the shipping speed, First Class or Priority.
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Box of the Celts by Numbskull Puzzles

Box of the Celts is a very strong contender for being the hardest sequential discovery puzzle out there! But it's very fair with it's difficulty, so I can't truly say it's the most difficult puzzle in the world. I'm looking at you SMS Box and I still say you are very unfair with your solve! It involves aspects from puzzle boxes, puzzle locks, disentanglements, coordinated motion, mazes and hidden mechanisms to torment you!BotC by Numbskull Puzzles or Matt M, is diabolical. It's surprisingly stra...

OPUP by Dan Shane

You'd think that one piece packers would be trivial and be identical to each other right? But speaking as someone who has worked on Improved One Piece Packing Puzzle by Simon Nightingale, OPUP still surprised me with a fresh twist on the same concept and has some distinct, amusing surprises in store.I solve the insertion part fairly quickly myself, but getting it back out was the harder part to do! I did worry if the orange cube was permanently glued in!It's a cute packer that's not too hard in ...

Edge Corner Cube Variation and Non-Void Cube Variation by Christoph Lohe

Edge Corner Cube Variation and Non-Void Cube Variation are very unusual TICs designed by Lohe and printed by Andrew Crowell.Their novelty is the fact that pieces are attached by diagonal connectors which makes for a large degree of freedom in what potential moves can be made. While they aren't easy tics to be solved, it is likely that they are actually fairly simple solves in comparison to the potential tics lurking in the possibility space of diagonally linked tics:https://www.etsy....

Vertigo by Dee Dixon

Vertigo definitely lives up to its name considering how easy it is to go around and around in circles with this puzzle!It's a good thing that it's so pretty and nice to look at considering how long I spent just staring at it like an idiot lost on the next step to do! I liked it more than most of Dee's other works. It has some very nice steps that I was impressed by and liked to repeat just for the tactile pleasure of executing these steps.Grab this bad boy to enjoy as the first puzzle of 2026!I ...
