Description

It can be difficult to make a worthy sequel after a smash hit. There's even a term for it, sequelitis. Although that tends to be used more for when a sequel is made just to cash in on the money from the original, which definitely isn't the case here!

I was blown away by SunDial and actually think it might be the better puzzle compared to Sea Chest! The puzzling is insanely clever and it felt like I was in an Indiana Jones movie as the archeologist himself! It's also very in theme with the Mayan history involved here and has the same "aged" look as Sea Chest! I love it and it's an incredible journey to solve it!

In my opinion, Jesse sold his 100 copies at a criminally low price tag!

I'm very reluctant to let it go, but I want to downsize my puzzle collection a bit and I've solved it often enough that there isn't any replay value in the puzzle anymore. That's why the starting price tag is fairly high compared to the retail pricing. If no one is willing to pay even that much, I'm fine with keeping the puzzle for longer. It's not exactly a hardship to do so!

Note that the Sea Chest and SunDial are a paired set with the same number of #93.

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.

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

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...

Simple Box 1 by Ben

Out of all of Ben's puzzles, it's interesting how my top favorite is also his cheapest (relatively speaking) puzzle to buy. The Simple Locks and the upcoming Simple Pen are more visually appealing, but the solve of Simple Box is just so much more fun and elegant in my eyes. I had a blast with it and am deeply impressed by Ben's creativity.Get this sucker so I can convert another puzzler into being a brainless fan of Ben who mindlessly buys everything of his!I apologize that my auction pricing is...

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...
