Wood Trick Enigma Chest Lock Box Wooden 3D Puzzles for Adults and Kids to Build - Engineering DIY Project Mechanical Model Kits for Adults Wooden Models

This is an amazing piece of kit. Lovely smooth wooden piece. It is a very intricate construction and looks fantastic once completed. My biggest tip is to use lots of wax on the moving parts to assist in smooth operation. I really enjoyed building and using this box. I wouldn't recommend to anyone under 16 or persons with a short attention span due to the complexity of it.

I have built many similar builds, this was the best and great to share with friends and family to try and break into the box. Best to put in a £1 scratch card as an incentive :)

Was complicated to put together. Watch some YouTube examples to get tips that the instructions don't tell you

After doing the galaxy marble run I thought id give this ago, I found this much more fiddly than the last and much more care needed with the instructions, read and read again as this to me is much more complicated than the galaxy marble run, its very elaborate internal workings are a credit to its designer, alot of thought has gone into it, I did only manage to break one piece but fortunately a spare was included enabling me to complete. Its a very tricky puzzle to solve and applaud anyone who can unlock it without instructions

This is a great build, the only thing is you don't really know it works until you have finished as so many pieces interlock but mine was good. I was very careful with the sanding aspect as that has caught me out in the past but the final piece works perfectly.

Still be very careful of part 144 if you want the box to lock. Mine had a bit of an imperfection which made the hook fall off and it was a very late stage disappointment when all the other mechanisms were working. I initially had a problem understanding how to order the replacement part and gave them 3 stars, but to be fair to them, once I'd worked out how to press the right buttons on their web site, the replacement part has arrived, it's fixed the issue, and I'm delighted with the box - it's an amazingly intricate thing, with very clever, step-by-step, movements required to open the box....again, just be very careful of part 144 - it's the only thing that ultimately locks the box....

If you like building things, this is ideal keeps the mind active and the end result I’ll give you a lot of satisfaction and then you want to buy another one plenty to choose from

the enigma box is ok very good craftsmanship and the end result is ok

Beaucoup de patience nécessaire : pas loin de 7h pour la monter et ce n'est pas ma première construction de ce type. Un cutter est nécessaire pour détacher certaines petites pièces récalcitrantes et vous aurez mal aux doigts après quelques temps. Bien poncer et cirer les pièces mobiles pour que rien ne coince. Il y a une dizaine de verrous à actionner dans l'ordre pour pouvoir ouvrir la boite ainsi qu'une combinaison à afficher sur la serrure. L'espace intérieur est très vaste, contrairement à d'autres modèles où il semble minuscule : 15,5cm x 8,5cm x 5,5 cm. Pas de crainte de casse pour les petites pièces qui sont proposées en nombre largement suffisant sur l'une des planches. Félicitations aux concepteurs de ce petit chef d’œuvre.

J'ai adoré ce produit très bien fait l, je recommande de vous procurer un petit bloc de paraffine pour bien enduire les mécanismes. Je vais assurément me procurer un autre modèle.

Pas moyen de faire fonctionner ce coffre, c’est une catastrophe pour le prix!

This puzzle is very sturdy and well designed. The instructions are fabulous, and as long as you have patience to sand and wax every moving piece, it will be great! Up to a certain part in the instructions, it will have you double-check that the gears are working properly. After that, everything doesn't work together until you have it totally together, so I wasn't sure if I was putting it together right. But after I finally assembled the lid, I left the lid open (just in case I needed to take something apart), and following the unlocking instructions, everything worked great! I was VERY happy I took the extra time to sand all the rough spots and wax ALL the moving parts. Because of this, I have a very fun combination lock box that very few (if any) people will be able to figure out on their own. You can see in the picture that I stained a few of my pieces to make it a contrast color and a bit more interesting. You can do what you want, just be careful to either dry the paint/stain, or make sure they are not part of a moving piece, because the wood may swell. This lock box is by far, my favorite puzzle to date, and I have put together many of these 3D wooden puzzles. I love most of them, and love that most have great directions. Wood Trick's instructions are wonderful, and it's very rewarding to get something like this put together. I highly recommend this puzzle, not only is it highly quality and has thick wood pieces, it's VERY fun, and VERY rewarding to complete.

Wir hatten diese Schatulle als Hochzeitsgeschenk bestellt. Da wir einige Leute waren, die Geld schenken wollten, haben wir uns gedacht so ne "knifflige Schatzkiste" wäre perfekt. Das war sie auch. Es hat mega Spaß gemacht sie zusammen zu bauen und den Mechanismus der Rätsel direkt zu verstehen. Das Brautpaar fande die Idee auch super und hätten in 2 Std die Schachtel offen. Die Umschläge haben auch gut reingepasst. Das Paar fande die Odee so cool, dass sie sie bei der nächsten Hochzeit weiter schenken möchten.
