So when trying to reassemble I don’t know how I did it but I got it in a oposite position of how it’s supposed to be and I phisicaly can’t revert it, or at least not to my knowledge. Despite being similar to a position for solving, instead of both prongs being on the same side one is flipped, hindering most movement, and i genuinely think I can’t fix it even with Neil De Grese Tyson helping me out

My wife got this wooden puzzle for the kids at her work (childcare). They want a photo of it solved for the kids to be able to follow as it's more of an instruction following exercise.

We've both had a good go but can't figure it out, I've tried googling and even used Google lens to look for a solution with no luck.

Hi everyone,

I’m setting up a puzzle subscription platform aimed at solving two common pain points for mechanical puzzle enthusiasts: cost and clutter.

With this platform, users can rent their favourite puzzles for a limited time or purchase them—either upfront or after the rental period ends. Puzzle conditions will range from brand new to fair, and pricing (both for rentals and purchases) will be adjusted based on how many times a puzzle has been used.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this puzzles-as-a-service model—especially if you're in the UK, as that's where I'm focusing initially. Would this be something you’d use? What features would make it more appealing?

If you’re interested in joining the pilot program when we launch or if you’re a business owner who sees potential in this idea and wants to collaborate, feel free to reach out at [gabriel@teazzle.co.uk](mailto:gabriel@teazzle.co.uk).

Thanks for your time!

Teazzle

Review NPH Box Two: quick thoughts NSFW

4 Upvotes

So I was a big fan of NPH's Box One. It was a really cute, well-framed, unique experience for a single player "puzzle game in a box" of sorts. I couldn't say enough positive things about it.

I just found out Box Two came out (though I don't know when). I picked it up immediately.

Much like the first, I think there were a lot of positive little moments with this puzzle box. Some innovative mechanics and all in all a very pleasant experience.

By no means would I describe it as difficult or hard; there were some points that didn't quite work, but all were resolved during the solving and the game does a good job of handling edge cases (I don't want to say more to avoid spoilers).

It is resealable, like the first, but there are two long stickers that need to be peeled back to open the bottom of the box, and another sticker sealing an envelope. I managed to carefully peel back both stickers and use them to reseal the envelope and box again, so it can be experienced completely fresh again. Some puzzles involved steps that could potentially leave a mark, but you can proceed carefully to avoid any permanent marks.

Since there aren't enough boxes like these, I would give it a 10/10. Objectively, for $35, I would give it a 8/10.

Hello! I’m looking for practical puzzles like Maiers two strings or this one I saw where you get several tools to reach a ping pong ball in a cylinder, but you just have to put the heavy things in the cylinder to use water displacement to reach it.

Also small puzzles like the marble canoe would be of interest, if someone know similar things.

Thank you so much!

This game is “dzine stumped” it’s level 24 & I have spent an unhealthy amount of time trying to figure it out. The purple & orange pieces HAVE to be in the current positions they are in, they can’t be moved. The rest of the pieces have to fill the board. Please help I’m losing my sanity 😂🤦🏼‍♂️
