Description

Yasuaki Kikuchi ‘s puzzle style combines playful themes, puzzle cleverness, high craftsmanship, and conceptual originality.  This is well-exemplified by Zipp Chack, Kikuchi’s 2017 Christmas puzzle.  Its form is a zipper.  How do you open a zipper?  While the answer informs the solution to this puzzle, Kikuchi doesn’t make it the obvious “just pull down the zipper”.  Can you figure out how to “unzip” the box to open it?  All original packing material is included.
