This is a super fun but challenging puzzle that comes in an all hardwood box with sliding lid. Embedded into a hold area on the lid is a red block, the "Redstone". If you remove the lid you will see that the box appears to be full to the top with 8 pcs. You goal is to take the Redstone and insert it into the box such that you can close the lid using all 9 pieces! Seems impossible.. but of course it can be done. Comes with clear instructions. Box measures about 4 1/2" x 3" x 2 3/4" high.

Level 4 difficulty 

Can you separate the 2 pieces without cutting the strings or pulling them out the balls?

6 puzzles to solve from the 9 L-shaped pieces. An EXCELLENT puzzle with many challenges!

• Level 1 (easy) – make a cube, any cube.
• Level 3 (moderate) – make a cube with just RED dots showing on all 6 outer surfaces. Then, make a cube with just GREEN dots
• Level 3+ (moderate +) – make a cube that looks just like a Dice cube (numbers 1-6 with opposite sides adding up to 7)
• Level 4+ (tough) – make a Dice cube with just RED dots. Then make a Dice cube with just GREEN dots. Highly recommend!

The challenge should you accept is to form a 4 sided pyramid in a wood base.  This is a moderately challenging puzzle and would make a great brain teaser for both young and senior.
