Six Puzzle Gift Set

I was a little hesitant when I purchased this product from the reviews that said it was cheap and broken when they got it. However I did not experience any of that. Came nicely packaged actually thought it was made very well. I would recommend this to anyone who likes these kind of puzzles.

With all the technology today , I know I could have found a more interesting possibly complicated gift for grandpa . Because he loves puzzles etc I really feel this was a perfect choice . Simple and not complicated.

Excellent puzzles, but only four stars as the The Diamond Cube puzzle developed a non-fatal break during my first play with it (one of then ends of the sliding blocks broke with the wood grain). I don't think this is due to poor craftsmanship, but a danger in making small-ish puzzles like these out of wood. The piece will be easily repaired with wood glue, but you have been made aware. Each puzzle in the set measures (just slightly under) 2 inches cubed (2"x 2"x '2") or 5cm cubed (5cm x 5cm x 5cm). Puzzle DOES box comes with cheat sheet to help you solve each puzzle. However, cheat sheet is rather poor quality, so younger/novice puzzlers may struggle to solve the puzzles even with the cheat sheet. The puzzles are made of wood (some bamboo). The box is mostly made of wood, except for the top and bottom which are dressed up press-board. Puzzles are pretty well built. Fit and finish is acceptable for an inexpensive product such as this. My puzzle set came with the following (I've included links to Amazon products similar to the ones in this set, but note they may be different that what Monkey Pod Games is selling here): 1. The Diamond Cube : Disassemble and reassemble the pieces of the cube. Puzzle stays together once assembled for easy handling. NOTE my diamond cube broke rather easily, but my break is easily repairable. Careful with the fragile ends, as the wood grain can be easy to break along. 2. Snake Cube : This one is my personal favorite (I actually came across this puzzle set while shopping for a new snake cube. Unravel the cube easily enough, but can you put it back together without looking at the cheat sheet (or YouTube)? This puzzle can be very challenging, but very manageable with the instructions provided. Wooden cubes are held together by a string running throughout. The string is about shoe-string thickness and strength. The string in a snake cube WILL BREAK (either from the sting itself breaking, or the string being pulled loose from its anchors). I've had good luck with this snake cube: no issues after many, many attempts by adults and children alike. 3. Totes Shooting Star Wooden Puzzle : Disassemble and reassemble the six-piece star. Can be more tricky than it looks. Also one of my favorites. 4. Burr Puzzle : Can you find the secret to disassemble and reassemble this puzzle without help? Also a tricky puzzle. I was able to reassemble by carefully watching how it came apart (not sure if that counts as cheating or not). I would consider this a 4 out of 5 difficulty (more difficult than the Star Cube, but less difficult than the snake cube). Instructions for this puzzle were also pretty clear. 5. The Falling Star : This was the hardest puzzle in the box for me. To make matters more difficult, the instructions were of little help. I was able to get this one back together. I'd say this one is 5 out of 5 for difficulty. 6. Soma Cube 3d - Large : This puzzle came in my box rather than the Ball in Jail puzzle. This puzzle is pretty lack-luster, and I would rather have had the Ball in Jail puzzle. Puzzle is pretty easy--say 2 out of 5 for difficulty. If you randomly stick the pieces together, you will eventually come up with the solution--that goes for stacking the Soma Cube into an array, or compacting it down into it's cube form. Conclusion: nice puzzle set. Decent craftsmanship. For $20-ish, not a bad deal. Beware of quality issues, and possibility of not getting the exact puzzles listed in the pictures.

Well made. They are little smaller than expected. Looks to be of good quality. Only used them for 2 hours though. Don't know how long it will last.

The dye bled onto the other lighter pieces so the look was off. These are also pretty hard and don't come with a cheat sheet so we have disassembled a few, and they haven't been put pack together.

I just received mine today in the mail and the puzzles are incredible. My husband is a puzzle junkie and loves them. When I opened the box it came with a personalized note that said thank you for purchasing and had my name hand written on the note. It was definitely worth the purchase and the wait time. 👍

We love these puzzles! They are a real brain teaser and a mind challenge. We love to give these puzzles to our friends to try. I highly recommend this product. It makes a great party activity and also is an amazing gift to others!!

It's fun, my husband loves puzzle games and he was ecstatic about this one. Glad I chose it over traditional Rubik's stuff. It's a classy look, looks nice on the shelf, and helps him destress between studying.
