What's in the Box?
Soma Cube: The Soma Cube just may be the most famous packing problem ever devised! Danish mathematician Piet Hein invented the puzzle in 1933 to distract himself during a lecture on quantum mechanics. The mind-blowing Soma Cube consists of 7 non-identical pieces that must be packed into a 3x3x3 cube. All 7 pieces must be used, and unlike most puzzles (which usually have only one right answer), there are up to 240 ways to build the Soma Cube! During your quest to find all 240 solutions, you may stumble upon the 100 other shapes that can be built using these same 7 pieces. The sky’s the limit!
Star Puzzle: This intriguing puzzle is made of six identical, wooden pieces that interlock to form a 3D star. Releasing the star is easy, but putting it back together will prove more difficult than you might think. The smooth feel of these precision-cut pieces make this puzzle a joy to play with and the high quality of the wood and craftsmanship ensure it will last for years to come. Once you’ve solved the Star Puzzle it makes a beautiful art piece to display on a bookshelf or coffee table for others to enjoy.
Burr Puzzle: This beautifully shaped Wooden Burr Puzzle seems to have no end or beginning, that’s how well the three pieces fit together! The puzzle offers a unique challenge. First, release the puzzle by following a sequence of several sliding moves to remove the first piece. Then, after the puzzle comes apart, can you piece it back together? Don’t be fooled, there may only be 3 pieces but the answer is very tricky!
Falling Star Puzzle: The Falling Star Puzzle is made of nine interlocking wooden pieces. This moderately difficult puzzle will keep adults and children entertained for hours, but not long enough to give up! Each precision-cut piece must be placed just right to lock them together into a beautiful falling star. Use this puzzle as a wonderful desk toy - challenge friends and colleagues and display it on a bookshelf or on a coffee table.
3D Squares: This 12-piece puzzle has an abstract and beautifully symmetrical shape. The secret to success for this puzzle lies in finding the single key piece that needs to be removed first, releasing the puzzle. This key must also be the last to go in while rebuilding, locking the mechanism in place. The 3D Squares Cube makes an ideal desk toy for breaks at work, as well as an entertaining coffee table puzzle to challenge friends and family.
Ball in Jail: This perplexing Ball in Jail Puzzle consists of 12 identical wooden pieces and one tiny ball! The challenge is to release the ball from its wooden jail inside the structure. There is no single piece that locks the cage in place; you must be careful and thoughtful while taking this puzzle apart to free the ball. Afterward, the second task is putting it back together again - a bonus challenge!
Snake Cube: The Snake Cube Puzzle builds up spatial reasoning skills and patience as you twist the snake made up of 27 wooden cubes back into its original 3x3x3 cube. This puzzle is perfect for all ages with no loose pieces and it provides a wonderful educational experience that hones problem-solving skills. If you don't have it yet, what are you waiting for?

Tavor: The remarkable interlocking Tavor Puzzle is made of 12 non-identical wooden pieces and one tiny ball! The 12 pieces fit together seamlessly to form a wooden cage that traps the ball inside. The puzzler must examine the structure and deduce which pieces are able to be moved, and in what order, before the cage comes loose. The end goal is to free the wooden ball that is trapped inside. Afterward, can you rebuild the cage in the same shape?
Notch Puzzle: This exquisitely designed Notch Puzzle is a wooden Burr puzzle that seems to have no way to break in; the pieces fit seamlessly together with no cracks or openings! This variant contains 13 non-identical pieces (that use 9 different shapes), which the puzzler must intersect to form the end shape. As an intermediate-level puzzle, the Notch is a great way to practice the endurance of the brain as you search for the proper placement of each piece, but without the pressure of some of our hardest puzzles. Keep it on your desk or kitchen table and fidget around with the Burr in your downtime!
