If you can wrap your head around the idea of having a center piece that doesn’t move and also to the idea of shape shifting, you can solve this cube.  Twisty Puzzling will show you how to solve this one and get you back on track.  This is quite the cube I must say.  Very original and very well made.

The Trick Lock #3 is an extremely well constructed heavy Puzzle Lock. Like some other similar Puzzle Locks, there is a “secret” to opening it. It then is very simple —when you know how. That makes it a very good puzzle to carry around and bring out as a conversation piece, even for people who never attempt to solve puzzles. One thing you can say about it is that it is not intimidating, and just about anyone will “give it a try”. That makes this a great puzzle to bring out [Read More...]

Paradigm Puzzles are a series of six packing puzzles designed by William Waite and produced by Family Games America. I’ve been reviewing this series for a while, with already four of them reviewed, and today, it’s time for the Tetrascales. The Tetrascales is, like all of the puzzles in the Paradigm series, visually stunning with a beautiful symmetrical pattern. The effect is created by 9 pieces with different arrangements, but always with four segments, hence the name “Tetra”. The board and pieces are made from laser-cut wood, with measurements of only 11.1 x 10.2cm (4.3″ x 4″) – This makes the puzzle [Read More...]

When I first saw Squarescape (see the blue image), I thought to myself: okay here’s another maze game where you have to slide your man as far as it can travel, pick up an object, and then find the exit.

Old school computer graphics.  As I whizzed through, I discovered the more interesting levels.  Look at the orange image.  Those orange squares can shift within their zones. Just tap on the arrows.  Very nice challenging element.

Look at the purple image.  The purple square shifts on its own. So, when you slide your man (the white square) you must time [Read More...]

When I first saw a picture of the Cubetresor, I was intrigued, to say the least. When I first got to hold it in my hands, I was fascinated with its pure beauty and superb feel and appearance.

As a matter of fact, it felt so good to hold and twist and turn; I almost thought it would be fun [Read More...]
