The Cluebox is an interactive, manually assembled wooden box with various puzzles, which have to be solved one after the other to open the box. Very much like an Escape Room in a handy format! The solution to each and every puzzle is based not on randomness, but only on logical decisions.
The Cluebox is an intriguing challenge. It's difficult to solve, satisfying to hold, and beautiful to display. Captain Nemo's Nautilus is the third and most sophisticated Cluebox so far. It has the highest number of riddles and new mechanisms which will make your puzzle adventure unforgettable!
The Story:
1870, Paris. After the first book about Captain Nemo and his submarine “Nautilus” raised great interest in public, Jules Verne is publishing the ending of the story about the mysterious captain.
Right before his death, Nemo says that he will enclose his scientific findings and autobiography in a small unsinkable container: "The last one of us left on the Nautilus will throw that container into the sea, and it will drift wherever the waves take it." Right after that, Nautilus is destroyed. Although someone could think that the whole story is just a fantasy of Jules Verne, in private conversations the author admits that the characters are real. And now we can prove it!
We have found the “unsinkable container” and it is now up to you to reveal the secret of Captain Nemo and find the lost traces of his scientific findings!
The cluebox consists of 116 individual parts which are precisely cut from high quality birch wood using the finest laser technology.
Secret Space 2x2x4 cm
Size: 11x11x12 cm
Playtime: 60 – 90 minutes

I **loved** this puzzle! I think Cluebox puzzles have a bit of a learning curve because I found this much easier than Schrodinger's Cat, even though this is a higher difficulty level, but this is now my 2nd puzzle by them so I knew a bit better what to expect. The only note is there is one place where I couldn't tell if I was stuck or not as a piece was turning with more resistance than I would expect, but I was 99% sure I'd solved up to that point correctly. It turned out I had and this was correct behavior; but don't use that to mean you should use *actual* force anywhere.★★★★★Wednesday December 13th River wrote,

Received this as a birthday gift. Was pleasantly surprised it took me nearly two weeks to solve. Some steps were quite basic and others more complex. Sadly I had to cheat to get all the pieces back together (because I was worried about breaking some of the delicate components). Definitely fun but I still prefer the more abuse-tolerant metal cast puzzles, both for small size/transportability and because I don't need to worry about being to rough (most of the time!).★★★★Saturday September 16th Puzzle Shiva wrote,

Absolutely amazing! The ingenuity to come up with this... well, suffice to say I had a great time. 80 minute solve, 10/10★★★★★Thursday November 17th Pete L wrote,

What a puzzle! In my opinion, this is the hardest between the three of "Cluebox series". It took me about 2 hours to solve and it's really worth it! thank you IDventure for this amazing experience!★★★★★Tuesday November 1st Ibrahim Abbas wrote,

I bought Captain Nemo's Nautilus, after seeing Chris Ramsay feature it on his YouTube channel. The puzzles are creative and really get you thinking. The reasons that it didn't get a five star rating is that some of the engraving was a little hard to make out and easy to over look. Also, some of the mechanisms were a little on the sloppy side, allowing me to surpass the actual solve process on one of the steps, the tolerances on the rest were well done and worked great! It's a must have puzzle for your collection! Look for more of iDventue's Escape Room in a Box!★★★★Sunday October 30th Jim Winters wrote,

I got this along with the Davy Jones box, and this is the harder one of the two in my opinion. It has more, but maybe easier puzzles than the Davy Jones box. I actually messed one of the puzzles up, being 100% certain that I'm right and the box is wrong... I was still able to open it, but when I checked the hints after, I realized I completely missed one of the solutions. Highly recommend.★★★★★Thursday January 27th Andrei Barany wrote,

I loved this puzzle. Very clever clues that were both non obvious but very clear when understood.★★★★★Tuesday January 4th Ryan wrote,

Another great Cluebox but there were a couple of minor issues with this one which led me to only give it 4 stars instead of 5. One of the puzzles was basically already solved when it arrived so that wasn't any fun and one of the components didn't work properly and had to be forced. I spent a lot of time working on it thinking I hadn't figured it out, but it just wasn't working as intended. Nevertheless, I still thoroughly enjoyed this and consider it worth the money.★★★★Tuesday January 4th Katy wrote,
