The Smuggler's Hold

 Expected ship date for new orders: March 2026

The Smuggler's Hold is a sequential discovery puzzle box that we designed here in our shop over that last couple of months. This box is the first in a planned series of "Infinity Cube" puzzles.
The Infinity Cube puzzles are not dependent on one another, but have similar goal. It's possible that I will create an apothecary to hold the Infinity Cube series at some point in the future, but it's also not a guarantee. 

• Puzzle type: Sequential Discovery
• Difficulty: 6/10.
• Number of finds/compartments: 4+
• Edition size: Unlimited.
• Materials: Katalox, Wenge, Paduak, Ipe, Brass, Bronze, PLA, veneer inlay

Please note order volume will impact the shipping schedule. This is an unlimited box and all orders are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Lost Vault of Jesse James (PLA)

Lost Vaults ship the week following the date of order.

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.
