In 2018 famed Austrian puzzle designer and craftsman Stephan Baumegger created a gorgeous sequential discovery puzzle in the form of a fire hydrant. The exotic wood exterior hides a devious puzzle comprised of 44 different parts. The stated goal is to find the fire hose inside. The puzzle has some very well-disguised, clever moves, and was an award recipient at the 2018 International Puzzle Party.
