Where do I even begin with Captain's Quest?

I am in awe of how incredible the craftsmanship and build of the puzzle is! I am in love with how beautiful it is and it just looks mind-boggling fantastic.

In terms of looks and build, I consider it among the best looking puzzles I've ever seen. Nothing new here. Jesse always knocks it out of the park with how pretty his puzzles are, but it's amazing how nice it looks and feels as a hybrid of metal and wood. There are supposed to be some printed parts as well, but I never noticed them at all and they must be only used in hidden sections that are not revealed to the solver.

The puzzling is amazing as well. I was surprised by the novel mechanisms used and I loved how everything was in theme. It really feels like a puzzle a submarine captain would come up with, or serve as an amazing gift to a captain! I wish I could say more, but I shouldn't spoil anything!

I'll mention that there are some ciphers and riddles involved with solving this puzzle for those who aren't fans of that sort of puzzling.

I don't really want to let go of this puzzle and I feel guilty for reselling this when I was so fortunate to get an early copy, but this puzzle retails at $1,189, and that's just too much money for me to have tied up in a puzzle. So I bought it with the intention of solving it and passing it on to a lucky buyer right afterwards.

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 ...

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...

T14 Popplock by Rainer Popplock

Where do I begin with this beast of a puzzle? It's one of the most sought after puzzle lock with multiple fanatical fans wanting to collect every single lock made by Rainer. He definitely knows how to make locks that would stump any thief looking to loot one's puzzle collection! It'll stump their minds and is made so sturdily that it'd stump their aching hands and demand power tools to break through!It's not an easy puzzle at all and I struggled for a long time working on it, but it was such an ...
