Description

Where, oh where do I begin with this utterly wild and marvelous puzzle?

Do I start with how it's the third in the series and how tacroy went extremely far with the presentation and lore of this puzzle's backstory, steadily building it up puzzle by puzzle for a wonderful climax once the third puzzle has been solved which feeds back into the clues and snippets hidden in the prior 2 puzzles of this trilogy?

Should I cover how the puzzling was incredibly fun and brought me on a wild ride with very creative mechanisms that I never even considered being implemented in 3d printing before? How I felt like an Indiana Jones working as an archeologist uncovering long lost secrets that came with a risk of death to the people involved with these artifacts? Tacroy's touch of "aging" the prints to look older and more authentically ancient was a lovely design choice!

All in all, I had an absolute blast with these puzzles, and while I think it's ideal to get all 3 puzzles in the series and to tackle them in order, tacroy kindly designed the puzzles to be solved in isolation without requiring the prior puzzles in the series for this one.

This puzzle places very high on my list of favorite 3d printed puzzles!

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.

I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other desired payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).

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.

Finally, we're in the crush of the Christmas holiday season which may mean delays or difficulty delivering packages. So if the winner of this auction wishes for me to hold off on shipping them out, let me know and I'd be willing to wait until a better time to ship out.

Japanese Yosegi Sliding Box

This is one of many, many, many yosegi boxes where the goal is to open up the puzzle box by moving panels around on the 6 sides of the box and sometimes with further tricks involved. It's not a terribly difficult puzzle. In fact, it's fairly easy and I'd use it to introduce non-puzzlers to the hobby as the first starter puzzle for them. I liked how cute it was and fun to find the next move in this solve. The only complaint I'd have is that the seams of the panels were a tad too visible, but that...

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...

Slammed Car by Juno

Slammed Car is a beast of a puzzle with way, way too many people going crazy for it and begging people for a copy. It's wild to think about how the original wooden copy remained in stock at Pluredro's store for at least a good month before selling out. That just goes to show how there can be treasure and quality gems out there simply undiscovered by people.While people may not agree on which SD puzzle is Juno's hardest or most popular one, no one can deny that Slammed Car is a strong contender f...

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

Does anyone remembers Oskar's Matchboxes? The solver had 5 matchboxes with a square shell and a box attached to it at different spots from piece to piece, and then they had to be put them together so all 5 boxes would fit inside another matchbox. It was a very interesting puzzle with 4 cavities to store small items inside and people had fun finding multiple ways to put the boxes together. It was fairly popular and not the only one of it's type! Matchbox Play Six by Olexandre Kapkan upped the cou...
