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...

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!

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 ...

Sand Castle is the first in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it starts things off with a bang!The goal is to find and raise the hidden flag from within the castle, but that's not the end point of this puzzle. You have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's not considered too hard, but I still had a lovely time with the involved 5 steps of the puzzle and it makes for an excellent introductory lego puzzle to hand to family and friends.The pdf ...

Prison Block is the second in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it makes for a very worthy sequel!The goal is to open the gate of the prison, trigger the alarm, and free the imprisoned jailbird from his cell! But that's not the end point of this puzzle. Just like with Sand Castle, you also have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's a major step up from Sand Castle with 18 steps and Josiah was rightfully proud of himself for implementing som...

Hol(e)y is the third and final puzzle in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it ends things with a major challenge!The goal is to simply open the drawer to find your prize. But if anyone was paying attention, just like with the prior puzzles in the trilogy, you also have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's yet another major step up from Prison Block with 30+ steps and Josiah was gloating about including some diabolical sneaky mechanisms to t...

Slidebox 353 is a BEAST of a puzzle where you have an incredibly high move count before you can take out the sides of this "box". In fact, the move count is included in the name of this puzzle. It takes 353 moves before this box opens up!The acrylic sliders are a nice touch to support and enhance the wooden panels. I liked the contrast between the 2 materials and they helped me by not obscuring as much of the wood. But I have to be honest here. It's such a long solve that I got tired and just re...

Small Box: Block C and Creature P is such a cute and quirky puzzle by Kasho. He crafted it with such stunning skill that it looks like a solid block of wood with no visible seams. And it's a lovely puzzle that's fun to work through even if it's on the easier side!Furthermore, the name explains that there are 2 versions of this puzzle with identical outsides. "Small Box: Block C" is the base puzzle where the solver simply needs to open up the box. "and Creature P" indicates that it was a special ...

This is one of many, many, many yosegi boxes where the goal is to open up the puzzle box by moving panels around on the 6 sides of the box and sometimes with further tricks involved. It's not a terribly difficult puzzle. In fact, it's fairly easy and I'd use it to introduce non-puzzlers to the hobby as the first starter puzzle for them. I liked how cute it was and fun to find the next move in this solve. The only complaint I'd have is that the seams of the panels were a tad too visible, but that...

Knot-a-2x2 made for a wild flashback to my younger years playing with a Rubik's Cube. I'll be honest here, I struggled just as badly here as I did back then with the Rubik's Cube hahaha.I had fun with Rex's prior designs when he was mostly selling coin releases and burrs, so when I heard that he was designing an SD for seemingly the first time, I knew I had to get it. And hearing that it's based on the design of a Rubik's Cube, that just sealed the deal.The goal is to scramble up the cube so you...
