Description

Wil Strijbo's First Box is a sequential discovery puzzle, where the goal is a cryptic phrase "Make me smile". It's hard to say anything more about it without spoilers, but there was a point during the puzzle solving where I thought it was broken, and apparently it's a very common experience. So if you think it's damaged, keep trying. You'll be surprised.

It's a very handsome, blue anodized puzzle box that will not give up its secrets very easily.

First Box is in pristine condition with no marks anywhere and no mechanical defect.

Due to concerns about Covid, I will be disinfecting the box before sealing it in its package for delivery.

I accept Paypal, but there are no extra Paypal fees, since I consider it to be the responsibility of the seller rather than the buyer.

I accept Transferwise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is $10 US Priority

1st Class International $18

I ask the winner to hold on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs added to the final bid.

Payments & Returns

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

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...

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...

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...

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 ...
