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.

Dark Matter Burr by Juno

Dark Matter Burr sounds ominous with it's name and looks, but it's quite gentle in my eyes.I solved it fairly quick when I first got it, but it's really fun to take apart and reassemble with how there are only 18 moves to take out the first piece. It looks like it should be a nightmare with its unusual pieces' shapes, but once the solver gets going, it's only a modest challenge to beat. I wouldn't say this is an easy puzzle or beginner-friendly, but it's not hard either. I rate this at medium di...

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

Tenchi is a fun little assembly puzzle that Cubic Dissection made from Fredric's design. It's an "anti-slide" puzzle where all of the pieces have to put into the square and positioned around the single cube notch in a way that none of the pieces can slide right back out of the square on either end. It sounds impossible, but I promise that it's very doable even if you have never tried this style of puzzling before.If it ends up being too confusing or demanding to fully solve, I have a solution Bu...

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...

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...
