Rattler's Tail

A little bit about the puzzle:

The Rattler's Tail came about initially as a unique puzzle concept that fit a rattler snake theme. Slowly over time the nature of the box "discovered itself" as we added and subtracted mechanisms. Finally the puzzle arrived at something we are very happy to produce, though not without its technical difficulties.

This will be the only edition ever produced.

Fibonacci Box

The Fibonacci puzzle is based on the Fibonacci sequence found in nature. The goal of this puzzle is to open the box. I uncovered a satisfying coincidence in nature that made the basis for the main Fibonacci mechanism. When I figured out a puzzle like this could exist I knew I would eventually have to make it, and I'm very glad I did. This puzzle works very similar to the Pi puzzlebox I designed seven years ago although I'd like to think our execution is a little better this time around. 

The inlay spirals on top of the puzzle are Fibonacci spirals, otherwise known as golden spirals. 

Difficulty level: Easy.

The edition size is limited to #610. All the puzzles are numbered and signed.

Made from: Holly, Katalox, Cherry, Poplar, Brass, Richlite. 

Free shipping to the USA.

The Sherlockian Box: A 5-Month Subscription Experience

ABOUT THE PUZZLE EXPERIENCE: This is the first international release of Jesse Born's very first subscription-based puzzle experience: The Sherlockian Box.

This puzzle was designed as a 5-month experience (condensed into a single shipment for international orders) where puzzlers are tasked to uncover clues, decipher codes, and unravel the mystery of the locked Sherlockian box. Puzzlers will be shipped a single box containing all five month's packets, including a locked puzzlebox that holds the answer to the mystery... if you can open it.

This release may be limited as this is a new format for Jesse Born puzzles. We intend to re-release this subscription box in the future, so if you didn't get in this run, we'll post again when we're ready to re-open orders.

The Lost Vault of Jesse James (PLA)

I designed the Lost Vault in a very basic CAD model back in 2020, and I've only just gotten around to bringing the puzzle to market through the technology of 3D printing. This box will be my first 3D printed puzzle! 

Ben Oxenford started helping me design the puzzle for 3D printing in November of 2021 and six months later we are now ready to share it with the public! 

I sent the puzzle to Steve Canfield to review, and then Robert Yarger as well, and they gave me some great feedback and we subsequently added another couple of puzzles to make it a little harder to solve all of the box's secrets. This is a beginners puzzle, but there are multiple layers to the box that make it a well-rounded solve with riddles and hints along the way.
