Japanese boxes are really beautiful but for me who has never bought a puzzle box its very difficult to judge quality etc. does anyone on this sub have good experience with any (preferably eu) sites you can recommend with good boxes?

Level 34 no club how to fix if you click one square all the square in it rows with colors horizontal and vertical

Anyone have any recommendations?

Hello! My boyfriend is an incredibly smart aerospace engineer (MIT) and I really want to get a puzzle box for his birthday. Not sure if smarts are correlated with solving puzzle boxes but I want one that he's not just going to solve in a couple of days.

Budget: Under $750 please

Aesthetics: Space-themed would be cool but really just looking for a really nice puzzle box that is difficult.

Or if puzzle boxes is a bad idea for a gift for a boyfriend please let me know and make some suggestions. He didn't ask for one or talk about it, but I just recently stumbled upon some cool-looking Japanese ones and think it would be perfect! Thank you! I just want to get him something really nice and intellectually stimulating (not a wallet or something). He's a very hands-on builder kind of person (he made a particle collider by himself at age 7 and other things as he got older but can't explain because then it would be easy to Google him).

Hi r/PuzzleBox,

We’re looking for folks to help create logic puzzles to train AI models!

Our project involves a 2-hour paid training with the potential for ongoing work at 20-hours per week. We’re open to folks working from anywhere in the world and are compensating $25 per hour. Hopefully this can be a helpful source of side income for folks who are already thinking a lot about puzzles!

If you’re interested, we have a short survey that’s designed to assess your fit for the project. Shouldn’t take more than 30 min to complete: https://forms.gle/34brgr41dGUYHoi47

Excited to find folks to work with on this project!

​

Warmly,

Celianne

Ok im not exactly sure if in the tight place but my class having a bit of fun so we did some puzzles and this one lost its solution and it would be great yo get some help.

Hi everyone. Me and my soon-to-be wife are getting married in June. Puzzles and boardgames are a bif part of our relationship and we try to do at least one escape room when we travel.

For our wedding we want to incorporate a riddle / lock puzzle, but it should be discreet. Here is what I am thinking so far. All ideas welcome!

A locked wooden box (two locks) placed at a pretty obvious place at the reception hall. There will be no mention of the box to begin with, but I want to place the clues and answers to the combination here and there.

For example: place a random question or clue on the menu in an obscure place.

Hints could be color coded and a specific color order to give the correct combination displayed elsewhere.

We will have polaroid pictures of us with dates written on them at one wall. One date could be the answer to one question.

You get the point! Lets brainstorm and make this thing awesome.

Im a currently creating a wooden puzzle box and will create more and more in the future. I am thinking about also creating different membership opportunities and it would only be a one time fee that will get you discounts, rewards and pre order status. All boxes that i create will be limited quantities and come with certificates of authenticity. Im posting this to see if this is something people would be interested in paying for before i spend the time creating and advertising the memberships.

So i recently got myself into solving puzzle boxes and i am kinda addicted to it.

So far i only solved the shroedingers cat box and cambridge puzzle.

Now i am looking for the next one but the other iAdventures don't have the best reviews from what i've seen. I don't want to spend hundreds on them so if anyone can recommend something that is fun/sequencial and not too expensive, i would be down for it. Don't matter if lock, boxes or something different.

Thanks!

I’m looking for this old mobile puzzle game that I liked as a kid, I don’t know what it’s called but I distinctly remember that the first area is in a large boot where you have to power a train, if anyone could help me find this it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Today I solved the Einstein Lock Puzzle, but I couldn't put it back together. So I searched up a solution and I somehow turned a figure in a way it shouldn't be. The picture is what I did and here is the actual solution to the puzzle: https://www.reddit.com/r/PuzzleBox/s/p19CohTzBW

Any suggestions on how I can put the puzzle back together?

Another puzzle for the collection by puzzle maker Jesse Born. Excited to try this out!

I’m curious what the price is to buy all the pieces for the full puzzle to build with authentic Lego pieces. Or if anyone has the parts list I can check myself!

Only a handful remain in stock - don't miss out on owning a fantastic puzzle lock that will be super hard to come by in the coming years.

Hello,

I am studying Karakuri puzzle boxes and trying to learn from them. I seon thee work-kit page https://www.karakuri.gr.jp/creation/work-kit/workkit.htm that WS-13 is a "jack in the box" where a snake pops-up. It is described as a traditional Hakone region box/toy.

I understand this to be a toy / fidget more than a puzzle, but I could not find any information on the web (tried google translate to search in japanese, nothing there either, probably using wrong words).

Does anyone has an idea of where I could find more information? Pictures / videos would be great !
Thanks for your help.

Title sort of explains it. I'm a dungeon master for a DnD campaign and I wanted to disassemble and paint a puzzle box so it didn't have the wooden appearance. I was thinking probably the antigravity or philosophers stone by puzzle potato. Has anyone ever done anything like this? I'm concerned that it could potentially be more trouble than it's worth and the parts might not move the way they're designed to upon reassembly.

Any guidance would be amazing. Thank you all in advance

Hello,

I am in a hobbyist journey to learn puzzle box design for 3d printing models.
I am thus trying to learn about different puzzle mechanisms and how these transfer (or not) to 3d the printing constraints.

I ran across the beautiful Ripple Out puzzle box
https://puzzlescore.com/en/karakuri-ripple-out-puzzle-box/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2apfEejGB8s (spoiler video)

And I am trying to understand how it works. As per the video, to open one must slide in one direction and then the other, to specific positions and in a specific order.
This is thus a mechanical state machine, the mechanism somehow stores the information that it was slid in one direction. It makes me think of combination locks mechanisms (turn one direction then the other, then the other), or of a push latch.

If can think of some ball-based mechanisms that would have such "path dependence", but in the videos things are reset without moving around the box.
Do you have some idea of how such box might work inside?

Do you know of good resources/communities where I can learn more about puzzle box designs?

Thanks a lot for your ideas and pointers.

Has anyone here crafted a puzzle chest?

Imagine....a series of puzzle boxes based off of the different races in the Tolkien universe. I'd definitely be down for a puzzle box supposedly crafted by the elves who forged the rings along next to one by the dwarves especially if it was during the time they got along better and the both crafted one together. Puzzle box of Moria/Dwarrowdelf perhaps? Glow in the dark moon runes and such...

These puzzle boxes contain unique sets of puzzle to be solved and can also be connected to each other like interlocking mats. They were encased in transparent acrylic. They were around 4-5inches in all sides and were on different colored pedestals
