Description
This metal wire puzzle is a small brain teaser made of shaped lengths of wire. The wire is bent into loops and hooks and linked together so the pieces seem impossible to part. The task is simple to explain and much harder to do: find the route that slides the pieces apart, then work out how to put them back. The wire has a bright silver finish. The puzzle comes in its own printed card box in a matchbox style, with an inner tray that slides out. It measures 6.4cm long, 4.5cm wide and 1.7cm high, so it slips easily into a pocket or a bag.
There are six styles, each with its own shape and its own name printed on the box. We send one style chosen at random, so we cannot promise which one you will receive, and that small surprise is part of the fun. It is the kind of puzzle that sits happily on a desk, a coffee table or a bedside table, ready to be picked up during a tea break or passed around after dinner. With no batteries, no screen and nothing to set up, it is a quiet, hands-on challenge for anyone who enjoys a test of patience and logic.
Every puzzle comes with a cheat sheet, so if the pieces refuse to part you can check the solution rather than give up. Being all metal, it needs very little looking after. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth now and then to keep it looking its best, and store it in its box between goes so the pieces stay together. As a small gift it tucks neatly into a gift bag or alongside a larger present. It also makes a welcome little distraction left out on the table when friends come round.
