Description

Keep Locked is one incredible puzzle by Robert which has sparked a lot of envy from my puzzling friends and no small number of plans to break into my house and steal it! ;^)

It's a sequential discovery puzzle with 4 puzzle locks and a complex castle the solver has to navigate to reach the end. I had a blast and found it an amazing adventure. I also love the design and the sheer majesty of how having a castle looks in my puzzle collection.

Sadly, it's time for me to let this puzzle go to whoever is lucky enough to win it!

It's in excellent condition, but not flawlessly so. A few parts of the castle has come off, but all of the parts were carefully glued back on with no visible sign of any such issue. I'm only mentioning it to be through since no one would otherwise know about it. I'm of the opinion the glue simply got too weak instead of any wood being broken. I used Tite Bond Glue to reattach the parts.

I have a custom sized box with specially cut foam inserts to best protect the puzzle and the locks in shipping. It's shown in some of the auction pictures. I can attest to it working perfectly since I have loaned out Keep Locked to multiple friends to solve it and never had any issue shipping such a delicate puzzle.

Do you dare challenge the castle and save the princess from the tyranny of the villain who has trapped her inside forevermore!?!?

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 (and domestic) buyers.

I am willing to consider other 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.

Payment Methods: Wise, Other payment method (see description)

Simple Lock 1 by Ben

Simple Lock was the first puzzle Ben ever released, and he knocked it out of the park!People found it hard, but raved about it so much after solving it. It's a very high quality lock puzzle in craftsmanship and ingenuity of the mechanisms. There's even a lovely panel on the back solvers can take off to see how it all worked inside too! I thought of it as a more toned down version of a Popplock. It's not as big or heavy, but the solve and high-precision machining is on the same level! Who wouldn'...

Simple Box 1 by Ben

Out of all of Ben's puzzles, it's interesting how my top favorite is also his cheapest (relatively speaking) puzzle to buy. The Simple Locks and the upcoming Simple Pen are more visually appealing, but the solve of Simple Box is just so much more fun and elegant in my eyes. I had a blast with it and am deeply impressed by Ben's creativity.Get this sucker so I can convert another puzzler into being a brainless fan of Ben who mindlessly buys everything of his!I apologize that my auction pricing is...

LOL by Frederic Boucher

Frederic Boucher has a long history of coming up with wild puzzles, but he doesn't like to craft more than a handful of copies before moving on to the next design. Which is why I'm so appreciative of Pelikan for stepping in to make more copies of LOL for everyone to try!LOL is a packing puzzle where the solver needs to fit all of the pieces into a 4x5 space with only a 1x2 opening to fit the pieces inside. It's obvious that rotations will be required since there are pieces that wouldn't otherwis...

Archipuzzle by Lucie Pauwels

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr...
