After my reproduction of Juno's Slammed Car, here is Hugo !
Hugo the Hippo is a re-release of the original puzzle box created in 2024 by Junichi Yananose (Juno) who is the copyright owner, and is of course reproduced and sold under license. Hugo The Hippo won the title of "Puzzle of the Year" at the 2024 Nob Yoshigahara Puzzle Design Competition (winning both the Jury Grand Prize and the Puzzlers' Award), a historic milestone achieved very few times in the history of the competition. This is because it is not a particularly difficult puzzle, but the solution is extremely pleasant and fun.
The solution is identical to the original, while the reset has one single different move, as I have implemented a locking mechanism in a different way. This Puzzle is printed with PLA Wood filament. If you prefer I also print a grey version with a PLA "Stone" matte filament.Worldwide shipping is available. Shipping costs are calculated after purchase; via DHL, the cost is approximately €37 for the USA and Canada, and €23 for Europe. This puzzle is printed to order. Please allow at least one week for dispatch.
