Description

In addition to crafting original puzzle boxes, Kel Snake is especially well-known for his distinctive, highly creative series of "retrofit" puzzle boxes made from vintage wood boxes. Keyed Up is distinctive in being a doubly retrofit puzzle box. First, the box is made from an old cigar box. Second, Kel took a classic Oskar van Deventer keymaze puzzle (one of the big, old ones, in metal) and figured out how to turn it into a locking mechanism for this puzzle box. According to Kel this is the only copy he ever made of this puzzle box.


Size: 112 x 100 x 147 (175 with key) mm

Condition: See photos (it's made from a used cigar box, but despite its intentionally vintage exterior the puzzle is in perfect working order)

Four-Leaf Clover - Karakuri Idea Contest 2017
As with the best of Karakuris, this 2017 Karakuri Idea Contest winner beautifully integrates its theme with its solution.  The top of the box presents a field of clovers.  What do you need to do in this field of clover to get the box to open?  It's trickier than your first guess might suggest.  And, if you do solve it, what possible mechanism could possibly make it work?  All original packaging included.Ordinarily I'd include Karakuri's product description of the puzzle, but it is a bit ...

Dwemer Construct - Stickman #34 (Robert Yarger)

Dwemer Construct - Stickman #34 (Robert Yarger)
This may be the most creative and complex creation from one of the world’s foremost puzzle designers and craftsmen, Robert Yarger (“Stickman”).  Only 60 of this massive puzzle were made – this is #40.  Rather than try to generate the words to describe this singular creation, I’ll instead rely on excerpts from the review by Boxes and Booze that captures the puzzle so well: “The Dwemer Construct, aka The Stickman No. 34 Puzzlebox, is an impressive artifact indeed. It appears to be...
