Here is the incredible, absolutely masterful Simple Box limited edition of 100. I bought
this direct from Ben at Simple Puzzles upon release in April 2025 and it is now sold out.
I
cannot rave enough about this puzzle. This is the kind of Sequential
Discovery you dream about. Surprising, logical, mysterious, wonderful in
the hand and so satisfying to complete.
Ben's metal work is
impeccable. I've owned Simple Lock 2 and Simple Box continues his
crafting work. The aluminium is beautiful in appearance and texture,
it's smooth in the hand, and the brass work is a lovely accent to the
piece.
The ideas and mechanisms in the box are
such a joy to discover. It rewards careful investigation and trying of
ideas. it has some mechanisms and ideas that I haven't seen before in
any puzzle. Every step is fun to find and think about progressing to the
next.
The ending of this puzzle is my favourite of any ending of
any puzzle I have ever solved. I mean it. It was so special to
experience and has cemented Ben in my mind as a true master of puzzle
design. It makes me want to buy any of his future releases that can.
It's for this reason alone that it makes me sad to see Simple Box go! I
wanted to keep this one for life! But I need to sell to fund a new
puzzle purchase.

From
the website: "Simple Box 1 is an original sequential discovery puzzle.
It has
everything you'd like from a Simple Lock. A refined style, noble
materials and a meticulous finish, as well as pleasant and interesting
mechanisms. Although this puzzle is intented to be slightly more
accessible, you'll find 6 entirely new and challenging solving steps.
The aim, as you might guess, is to open the box, and then close it back.
All parts are machined and assembled in France from solid aluminum and
brass.
Limited edition to 100 puzzles in total.
