Two U-shaped bolts and four nuts – this looks like a combination of spare parts but looks are deceiving. This puzzle comes with a deviously hidden trick. The key to unlocking these parts is to look carefully at each part first. It was designed by Kyoo Wong from Hong Kong. The theme is complexity.

At the end of the 19th century, Britain experienced a huge puzzle craze. I managed to pick up a number of the puzzles famous during that period in flea markets, despite their rarity. Based on these original puzzles from Britain’s famous puzzle period, this is one that we have successfully revived in its new form. The key word here is “antlers”. Can you free the antlers… and then put them back together again?

At first glance, this puzzle by Kennet Walker of Rivermore, California doesn’t seem un-lockable. The five pieces, however, can most certainly be taken apart. Putting them back together, however, is a whole new problem in itself. My suggestion for solving this puzzle would be to not apply too much pressure. Solve it or not, the five pieces exude a kind of elegance, spiraling into a comfortable fit in the palm of your hand. The key word is “spiral”.

We have created a puzzle that takes on a spherical shape of an astronmical model composed of a planet and its surrounding ring. The planet positioned tightly inside the ring looks as if it cannot be taken out, and all you can do with it is rotate it on its axis. Or is this really the case? The theme of the puzzle is “heaven” and was created by Oskar or The Netherlands.

At first glance, it looks as if there is only one ring hanging from the grid but there are in fact, two rings attached with a magnetic force. Can you separate the rings from the grid and return them to their original positions? After you conquer that, next, try also to fit the two rings ar the four-crossing point on the grid indicated by the numbers. The level of difficulty increases as players aim for crossings with higher numbers. Theme: “Magnetism”. An ambitious product by Oskar packed with multiple problems to be solved.

The design is evocative of a study padlock. Just pick it up and you’ll quickly gain an appreciation for the challenge that lies ahead – this puzzle will not open easily! The interior is comprised of two elliptical pieces, locked together tightly around the circular pieces and obstinately refusing to be released. But don’t give up! Repeatedly separate and then put them back together and prove you have what it takes to unlock this riddle. Designed by Korean designer JinHoo Ahn. The theme is “obstinacy.”

Cast Cyclone is a puzzle in which each piece interlocks with the other three. While all the pieces initially look the same, there are in fact two different kinds of pieces. The design of each ring has been carefully calculated, highly restricting the amount of possible movement and creating an extremely puzzling puzzle — the pinnacle of a long line of challenging puzzles created by a master puzzler. Designed by Hong Kong designer Kyoo Wong.

There’s a whole of wisdom wrapped up in this Oskar masterpiece. The three pieces can be separated and then joined again in their original form. What’s special about this puzzle is that it can be solved three different ways, depending on which of the three pieces is chosen as the middle piece. Solving this puzzle requires an especially subtle kind of working of the pieces, the kind that often leaves the victim struggling in frustration. Keeping in mind its chainlike behavior and using your feeling to your advantage is the best way to attack this. The key word is “chain”.

The early 20th century witnessed a kind of puzzle boom, which in 1905 gave birth to an absurdly simple looking puzzle known as the “Devil’s Claws.” We were surprised at how nicely this new version turned out after deciding to revise the original. Don’t let the smooth looks of this one fool you, you may become one of those who let frustration take over, and leave this puzzle forever unsolved. Dedicated to the true puzzler! The key word is “claws”.
