Description

One Hand Box is an unusual puzzle that evolved out of a commissioned packing puzzle. It was meant to be a one-off, but then Rob decided to share this very enjoyable packer with more than just one lucky fellow (albeit with permission of the commissioner who was very gracious to allow it). I don't know what the original puzzle was like since there has been some changes and refinement into this puzzle for the masses to enjoy. But One Hand Box is a delight!

First, the puzzle is received as a sealed up and heavily lacquered rectangular box. Then as the solver pushes the lid open, the "pin" piece pops up. Like a grenade, when the pin is pulled, pieces will go flying! Hopefully to less than fatal consequences for the solver though! The challenges of the puzzle is three-fold:
First the solver has to figure out how everything goes back together just for resetting the puzzle, which is no mean feat! But the lid refuses to slide open any further than halfway!

So secondly, the solver has to find the alternative way to pack the pieces inside.

And once that's all said and done, the true meaning of the puzzle's name finally comes up! Try to pack the pieces back inside with only one hand! It seems challenging since the magnets on the pieces love to push against each other to frustrate all solvers, but it's easier than one would think if one pays careful attention to the order of insertion into the box.

Please keep in mind that next week is the Thanksgiving celebration so I may be delayed in shipping out puzzles until the Monday after Thanksgiving at the earliest.

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 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.

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 ...

Knot-a-2x2 by Rex Perez

Knot-a-2x2 made for a wild flashback to my younger years playing with a Rubik's Cube. I'll be honest here, I struggled just as badly here as I did back then with the Rubik's Cube hahaha.I had fun with Rex's prior designs when he was mostly selling coin releases and burrs, so when I heard that he was designing an SD for seemingly the first time, I knew I had to get it. And hearing that it's based on the design of a Rubik's Cube, that just sealed the deal.The goal is to scramble up the cube so you...

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...
