My husband likes wooden puzzle boxes but particularly with a theme. The last one was Harry Potter theme and eventually he got inside and it had the sorcerers stone.

Where can I find higher end boxes like this?

My budget is 100-300 USD.

I lost the solution sheet for this puzzle cube and I never found it super helpful anyway. Does anyone know of a video tutorial for solving this specific puzzle? Or write a solution? There are 25 identical zig zag pieces and the box is approx 5x5x5cm

My husband is turning 40 this year and I want to give him something(s) special to solve. The issue though is that I've lurked here and have bought a lot of the recommended sequential puzzle from the $20-$500.

He's currently getting the Jason Bourne Sherlock subscription (which he partially lost sigh) and is stuck on the Keebox Yellow. He loved The Lotus flower.

So... Any suggestions? I'm not looking to spend a fortune (again) and would like to keep it less than $500. He also prefers metal puzzles.

I am stuck at this level and can't for the life of me figure it out. Could anyone hint me in the right direction please?

I (not so clever) have recently bought a Jean Claude Constantin N3 Puzzlebox for my boyfriend (very clever!) to hide a coupon in and have him solve it for his birthday. However, to hide my coupon in it, I now need to get the thing open myself. I tried using a youtube video but somehow go lost and stuck

This is the current state - can anyone help me how I can solve this?

Thankyoooooou!!!!

I got this one at a convention and I'm still struggling to solve it completely. I thought maybe I'm missing a clue due to the unknown name. Thanks in advance!

Hi!

I've been making some wooden puzzle boxes on the side. I've made some with hidden panels to slide and some dovetail drawers. For the wood sliding actions I find that sometimes the wood is a little sticky. I'm trying to figure out an approach to make the sliding actions a little better feeling. They're either too loose or too stuck. And that depends on the day as well. Are there some wood species that do this better than others? Maybe some other techniques that work well for making nice sliding joints?

Any help is super appreciated!

which type of puzzle game is the best for beginners

Pretty, but annoying

So I just finished the Davy Jones clue box it literally only took me half a day to do I started it at 8:30 this morning I probably could have had it done well before that but of course I have kids so running around catching the kids kind of stopped me anyways I just finished it I thought I want to get to the bottom of the box it says at the bottom when I get to I end up getting to a card and it says can you find us and then I thought it was a website I'm assuming it's another clue one that for some reason I can't even figure out I'm looking at this box after I took it all apart still trying to figure out what the clue is to get to this one I'm confused

I want to buy a puzzle as a gift for my dad who used to love them. He had a stroke a few years ago and now only has use of one hand (and even that hand gets swollen). Can anyone recommend a puzzle or any similar gift idea that is not to fiddly and does not require use of both hands?

Sby ideas would be appreciated. TIA

So I work in cyber security and have been looking for a puzzle box but a capsule kind of like the DaVinci box but bigger and a little wider, I'd like it to be really hard and be cryptographic like in cyber security

Does anyone know of anything close to what I'm trying to find? I'd like it to be all metal I want to be able to store something inside of it which is another capsule

Anyone get Space Rover? I have a question about the finale.

Hi, I'm looking for one of those metal toy puzzle things, that you have to separate or put together. But a difficult one, for an adult who already solved some and finds some too easy.

Anyone has a suggestion for a good one I could order online?

Thank you.

Announcement from Jesse Born's newsletter:

The Rattler's Tail is a sequential discovery puzzle box that follows much in the vein of the Sea Chest or Captain's Quest puzzle boxes. Based on the legend of the Lost Dutchman's Goldmine, this puzzle incorporates secret moves (a number of them), a map, a riddle combination, mysterious clues, and a treasure (or two).

Got the idventure puzzle box sherlocks camera for my husband. I'll start off with saying puzzles are his absolute hobby, the harder the better, and is extremely gentle with them as to not force any solving. I want to geuss that he's maybe 10 steps in and the camera lense came off way too early. He re attached it by spinning the lense dial but it's very loose in and out and he stopped as he's afraid to mess anything up.

He sent me on a quest to try to figure out how it could have accidentally fallen off, and how to reattach so he can continue on. Of course tho, he doesn't want spoilers that could ruin the geuss later on, and I don't even know the exact step he was on...and I'm not puzzle smart. Can anyone give advice? Can't find any videos of it being reassembled. Frustrated that this task is my thing to solve when I know nothing of puzzles lol trying to do the good wife thing, because he freaking loves the puzzle and it's sat for 2 weeks trying to get this answered. Thanks alot
