Hello puzzlers!!! Back for extreme close ups and bad jokes I see. Well I can’t really see you…. Or can I. I’m looking at you one eyed purple people eater. As you can tell, I carefully plan my intros. So, the puzzle hidden behind door number three is called Two Keys by Jean Claude Constantin. In a nutshell, this puzzle is what happens when a laser gun asks an innocent piece of wood for all its money and the wood refuses…. Ok ok what I mean is that the wood is laser cut to form the two mazes found on [Read More...]

This is a harder version of the jumping mazes (see Jumping Mazes). Start on the 3 in the top left corner, and jump three squares horizontally or vertically to a new square. The number on that square then gives you the size of the next jump, and so on.

Continue making horizontal or vertical jumps until you reach a circle, when you should switch to moving diagonally. Continue moving diagonally until you reach another circle, in which case revert to moving horizontally or vertically, and so on.

Find your way to the bottom right corner in the smallest number [Read More...]

The Lunatic Lock is designed by Gary Foshee and this particular edition is produced by PuzzleMaster.

There’s a wide range of trick locks in the market today, some are cheaper and others can be quite expensive, like this one. The Lunatic Lock falls into the category of the cheaper ones, but don’t be fooled, you’ll get more than you paid for, as the puzzle can be extremely frustrating to open. It’s made of aluminum, which is cheaper to produce, but doesn’t look very good as a finish, because it has these brushed strokes and it looks [Read More...]

Shift 2 has 120 levels. I’ve spent about 1 hour and am stuck on level 9. It’s hard and fun. And that’s the bottom line.

The object is to get your man to the door. Pick up a key, avoid the deadly spikes. When you Shift, the maze does a 180 and your man will turn white and enter the black part of the maze.  Very clever.

This is a review about the Medallion Puzzle designed by Oskar van Deventer and manufactured by the Japanese puzzle company named Hanayama. This version of the puzzle is also exclusively licensed to the Puzzle Master company. The Objective of this puzzle is to free the puzzle pieces through navigating a series of mazes. When I started this puzzle, I tried to move the two pegs found in the center of the puzzle. I won’t go into the solution method but let’s just say that an alternative approach is required. The puzzle has four mazes. The two mazes on the gold [Read More...]

Today’s online game is a fun little game called Orbox B.  The object of the game is to manoeuvre your little red square until you can exit the level.  When you push the red square in a certain direction you will continue going until you hit an object.  Which means if there is no object to stop you, you will continue on until you reach the edge of the screen.  As the game gets harder, you get less and less patient to try out different moves to solve the puzzle.

I quite enjoy games like this.  [Read More...]

Being a lover of puzzles does have its draw backs.  You are constantly looking for something challenging enough to keep your mind happy and fun enough to appeal to the happy person inside.  This game does both for me.  The game is called Flow Free.

You start off with matching colors on the screen.  The object is to connect the matching colors with a line.  The size of the board that you have to manoeuvre through gets bigger as the levels get harder.  You start off with a 5×5 board and 4 or 5 colors.  Working [Read More...]
