At the end of the 19th century, Britain experienced a huge puzzle craze. I managed to pick up a number of the puzzles famous during that period in flea markets, despite their rarity. Based on these original puzzles from Britain's famous puzzle period, this is one that we have successfully revived in its new form. The key point of this puzzle is decisively navigating its labyrinth, in which exists one point of weakness for you to break through. For the indecisive part of you.

A very fun and intriguing puzzle that requires the solver to see both sides at the same time. And think about the way to move the two pins that are constantly hindering each other's progress. The solution is fairly hard for this one. It looks like a maze-type puzzle, but the states are not so easily told apart, so it's somewhere between maze-types and free-types. It is not so tough like other Hanayamas but it does not need to be forced, so physical quality is just okay. It also has multiple entry and exit points to and from the labyrinth, leaving the choice up to the solver. But many of them are just red herrings.

Nice puzzle, challenging but not "gruelling", too bad that the small pins are eroding quickly and i saw a person brute forcing his way out...

Borrowed this one from a friend. I spent a few hours on it and simply decided it wasn't worth trying to figure out. I may be wrong, but it seemed to be a lot like trial and erro.

I didn't think I was going to like this one, but the owner of the puzzle shop I visit recommended it. The solution was satisfying and I enjoyed the process. I think it took me a little over an hour to take apart, and about a minute to put back together, mainly because I paid close attention to what I was doing. It is non-trivial to reassemble if you don't remember how you got it apart.

A satisfyingly difficulty puzzle. Unlike the Enigma (realistically, a level 20), this is closer to a 6 in my books, even though it's ranked as 5. For this kind of puzzle, I like to ignore the action on the opposite side while keeping some arbitrary mark always held due north. The advantage is simplification; however, solving it the other way around becomes a new challenge.

Each face is a trivial maze, how hard could it be? Turns out to be quite difficult. Solving both mazes at once will test your spatial perception to the max. I eventually convinced myself it was impossible to solve, then the trick dawned on me. But a year later I cannot remember the solution!
