In today's Episode 100, we have a whole bunch of stuff, Linnea. We have
two Lego puzzles from Andrew Parr. Check them out in today's episode.
And we have these Quezzles. We've been waiting for these to come in.
They are a four,
four part puzzle that comes together to make a bigger puzzle.
And it was a whole bunch of quests and 3d models and crazy stuff in it.
Check it out in today's episode.
Welcome to Episode 100 We made it to one hundred episodes.
Linnea, that's something to be proud of. I think that's really cool.
We had talked about doing a draw though, and we're doing a draw, Linnea for this,
and this: two of our Pelikan puzzles.
So we're going to do a draw separate for each one of these.
We're not going to do it in this episode. Linnea, where can they find the draw?
So if you're looking for the draw, we will have a separate post in our Puzzle Time videos,
that'll be just specifically for the draws.
We're just waiting for a couple more entries.
Yeah. So keep an eye out on our YouTube channel.
We're going to release it kind of the same time as this, this episode. And then,
it will be, yeah, just a short video.
We'll announce the winners, tag you in it. And can we tag?
I don't know if we can tag on a video. We'll announce the winners there.
So keep an eye out for that. If you win, we'll try to let you know.
I think in the comments you might be able to tag.
Maybe. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. We'll put it up there.
But today we are going to get into some exciting new puzzles we've got,
but before we get into those....
So we've got the Lego puzzles, some Lego puzzles we're going to do,
but before we get into that, we have got the Pandemic Containment.
Now we've talked about this in Episode 89 of Puzzle Time.
So if you go back that this was in the online buzz that day.
Now the creator of this, John Adrian,
he has a company called... What was it called? They're Bad
Astronaut. Bad Astronaut. There it is. Yeah, right on there. So Bad Astronaut
is the company that makes this. This is a really cool puzzle.
It is not 3d printed though. I forget, what did, what did we call it?
It's resin printed. Resin printed. So it's, yeah, it's different.
And there's a piece that comes out. There's like a little, a little,
it looks like a golf tee, actually. It looks like a chopped off golf tee, but it's
what's holding that little, virus inside there up.
You've got to take this piece out to solve it. But I,
I really like some of this stuff. I like that, like you can see on here,
everything's clear. Not everything, but this is clear. Same thing with the
the bars here. And then there's a little part right here, which even has like a,
it's almost like, rubbery, that stuff.
I like the design of this. I really love that. It like,
it looks like there's paint worn off; this looks like some old,
old thing that's been like rocking around in like a spaceship or something.
I dunno.
Well, he mentioned in his post that he wanted it to look like a virus.
He wanted it to look kind of ugly. Like the virus had exploded and had invaded.
So that's why it looks that way. So.
Yeah. Great puzzle. Check it out. Thank you, John, for sending that to us.
He did send us this, this puzzle free of charge.
So I just wanted to show it off here a bit and talk about it.
I think it's so unique and so cool. So,
there you go. And if you come into our store, you can check it out in person.
We will probably have it displayed somewhere as we're not carrying it,
but you know, we like to keep puzzles out there that look cool.
Absolutely. Okay. Let's get into the Lego puzzles. Now,
these are what we talked about last week on episode 99, I believe.
And this is the Lego puzzles from Andrew Parr that we got in.
Did we talk about it in the episode?
In one of the episodes. Yeah.
Or it was on our Facebook Live. I think we did it on our Facebook Live, too.
So let's start, let's start with this one here, the smaller one
a little bit. We have got.... Now, which, which one is this, Linnea?
That is the Twelve puzzle. The Twelve puzzle, it's called. Now on this one,
you pull that piece; that just holds them in. And there's the slider. The sliders.
What do you got to do on this one?
So there's three separate objectives on it.
The first objective is to form seven orange circles.
The second objective is to form
seven two by two blue squares.
And the third one is to form
an unbroken circuit, from the green to the green here.
You'd want to connect. Yeah.
So you have to slide the pieces around. You kind of have to go up and back.
Like you can go like this.
They move surprisingly well for a lego puzzle.
Yeah.
And then.
Wow. Yeah. Which is very cool. See, I always wonder too, with these,
like you can take pieces off. Yeah.
He specifically says do not take things apart that.... like don't take pieces apart.
That's the thing to remember with these Lego puzzles is,
do not take the Lego apart, but this is cool. Three objectives.
So the blue squares, the yellow circles, and then the green circuitry here.
And you've got to make that full circuit. Yep. That's cool. I like that.
What level is this? It's a level eight. Level eight on the Puzzle Master
difficulty rating scale.
And then it says, how many pieces of each are in
each puzzle; how many Lego pieces it took to make it.
Oh, so this is 353 pieces in this.
One other thing about these is, we are the only people, exclusively, who carry this.
Nobody else out there carries it. He exclusively, let, let us sell them for him.
So they are limited, limited quantities. We only have two of each.
So if you want them, get them now, before they're gone.
Chris Ramsey did some videos on them. What Did I Get Myself Into?
Tanner did some videos on them. So.
Yeah, if you want to see more of Andrew Parr's stuff. Yeah.
You can check out these other guys videos. Okay, now this is the big one.
This is the one I was actually most excited about. What is this called, Linnea?
It's called The Hangar. The Hangar. It's a level eight, as well.
So this one is a sequential discovery.
You will have to take tools out to solve it.
It's made with 789 Lego pieces. Right.
And it's a level eight? They're the same level, these two? Yeah.
Because they each have a few objectives. This one,
I didn't write it down either. It has four objectives.
You'll get these papers that are the instructions and set up. You'll also...
He'll send a solution, which we're not going to show here. Okay.
It's a separate paper and a reset because you have to reset the puzzle after.
And if you don't remember your moves, you don't know how to reset it.
Is it supposed to come open like that? Yes. That's part of the.... there's different
objectives. So you have to get this whole drawer out?
So not super clear, but there is a few different objectives.
You know, I like when they leave a bit of mystery with this stuff, right.
It's it's cool. Yeah, this is obviously the hanger.
Then you gotta get it out and you can see there's like pieces inside.
So I am like, noticing some stuff going on in there. Yeah.
I don't want to show off too much with it because the tool comes out pretty
easy. I found it right away,
but I'm not going to tell you what the tool is or where to find it.
I noticed, this kind of slides out a bit.
Sometimes with these pieces.... like this one's coming off.
Yeah. I mean, Lego comes apart, right? There's something here,
I noticed. There's like a piece.... That is really cool.
There's a little gear on the back here, too.
We're not going to get into solving this too much today,
but wanted to show it off. I like this. These,
these are obviously a really nice and well-made puzzles by Andrew.
I'm surprised actually at the, the quality of the build on these Lego puzzles.
But yeah, very cool. This one's big too. This one's huge.
And you said this was 789 pieces. Yep. Cool. Okay.
So that's a level eight. Check those out.
And then let's get into this next one, Linnea. So that's these guys?
I was very excited for it. If you want to know, we did a short video on it.
We did a Facebook video and Puzzle Guy did a video on this.
Like it is super fun. Like lots of stuff going on in it.
So it's in Kickstarter right now. Yes.
This is, this is a puzzle or puzzles that have been kickstarted.
They're called Quezzle. Linnea, you want to talk a bit about them. You
know more about these than me.
So the Kickstarter's going to end on November 1st.
If you want to get in the Kickstarter before they go to their site,
because they will be hard to get after.
So go support it before November 1st and you will get one sent to you once their
Kickstarter's done. They've already like went past their value,
they needed to raise, like, by quite a bit. So.
I understand that because they are cool.
So what is this? What are we looking at?
You will, you will be getting one. So they're called Quezzle.
It's four puzzles.
Yeah, four; they're each 250 pieces. And they... At the end,
once you form each puzzle, they combine into one big 1000 piece puzzle.
Is that what
this is right here? Yes. So this is the 1000 piece puzzle? So each
square is your 250 piece puzzle on here.
So here it is.
This is the complete puzzle. And you can see here it like lines up.
That's this. This is that. Okay. That's really cool.
And so if you haven't seen these before, they're wooden jigsaws.
Each piece is uniquely shaped. They...
You get a stand for your, your....piece here. Hold on. There's a stand here?
Yeah, for this. So you can stand it up.
So if you want it to look good on your shelf or after,
or if you just want to..... that's what you want to use for your picture.
You're essentially connecting these in down here. Yeah. Oh,
I like that. I like that when, when the puzzle box,
like it has a stand. That's really well thought out.
So you can sit there and have it standing up like that, while you do it.
Yeah. See, there's like pieces that are shaped, like hot air balloons.
There's pieces that are shaped like.... there's an airplane.
There's some animals in there.
There was a dragon I'd seen the other day. Just
really...
Yeah. They fit together very well. Like they're good quality puzzles.
Honestly, these very much remind me of like artwork from those Where's Waldo
books, books.
Or the Jan van Haasteren puzzles. You know, those jigsaw puzzles we have.
I don't know. Is Where's Waldo worldwide? I don't know if it is,
but yeah, these are very cool.
So there's, so there's different quests for all four separate puzzles.
And then when you put them together, then there's a whole bunch more quests?
There's a quest within the whole puzzle that you can complete.
That's awesome. And how big are these?
So these are 36 centimeters by 25 centimeters or 14.1 inches by
9.8 inches.
Yeah. And then it does say, too,
this is one thing that's kind of hidden,
but it does talk about it in the Kickstarter, after in some of the information.
You will have a certain amount of pieces.
I'm not going to say how many in each one. In the first one though,
there's a certain amount of pieces that won't fit in your puzzle.
They're actually going to form a 3d model.
What? So there's a three, like, a 3d model?
Yeah. So there's a certain amount of pieces in here that you won't need for the
puzzle. So once you complete it,
you'll have extra pieces and you form a separate little 3d model with those
pieces. One for each puzzle?
Yeah.
So you'll have four. In their pictures you'll see on their Kickstarter,
it shows the 3d models that you get.
I think this one's an Eagle and then, yeah, it shows you the other ones that are
sitting.
That is so cool. This, this has so many different layers to it.
So you get like a lot of different fun within this puzzle.
It's not just do the puzzle and you're done.
I am. I'm surprised at the depth of this and how well thought out this is.
When you say... it'd be cool if we could fit something together. But I mean,
these pieces.... it looks like it's gonna be
pretty hard. I can tell you this is going to be part of the bird.
The bird?
Yeah. The 3d model. Oh, the
3D model? That one right there? Okay. It does look like a beak here.
I did. Yeah. If you look in my video, I did fit some together.
Like this goes....
Oh, there we go. Yeah. Okay. So you've got some. So here, let's see.
Let's show the fit here. Oops. That's not sitting well on my hand.
You need a flat surface.
Right here.
You can see now that they're super tight fitting.
That's great. There's definitely some puzzles where like,
it's just either, it's really loose or really tight and that's beautifully,
well done. Huh? Quezzle.
They.... Even the rest of their box, like look so good.
They did such a good job with it.
So this video definitely will not be released before November 1st, you said? Yeah.
By the time you guys are seeing this, their Kickstarter is done.
I am sure you can probably order it somewhere.
Yeah. You can order it from their website. They do like.... they have all those,
those Facebook ads. I see them all over Facebook. You might too.
That's the company who does them. They're the most popular in this set. So.
What's...? These are called Quezzle. What's the company?
Unidragon.
Unidragon. So go check out Unidragon; check out their website,
check out their Kickstarter. I mean,
maybe there's some stuff you can order after the Kickstarter's done.
I don't know how it all works.
It will be for sale on their site.
It's just when and how much stock they can get out and how fast they can get out
with a Kickstarter going. So.
I really hope we get these at Puzzle Master. Cause these are sweet. Yeah. Okay,
there it is. Quezzle. Those are so cool. Four puzzles
that make one big puzzle and have a whole bunch of stuff in them.
3d models too. You get everything, right there: four puzzles
from Quezzle. Yeah.
It even says like the part one, part two, part three, part four, on the front.
Okay, cool.
Let's put those aside and let's get into the Online Buzz.
That was a little bit part of our Online Buzz,
but it was something cool to show off, too.
Right there. That is, yeah. Obviously it's on Kickstarter; check our Unidragon.
But Linnea,
we've been talking about some Lego puzzles today from Andrew Parr.
There was a YouTube channel called Lego Snazzy?
Yeah. So when I'm searching on YouTube, I'll just go to our homepage usually.
And sometimes these guys will just pop up or I'll be searching through videos.
And then I, like....
I was looking for a bunch of Lego ones with these and that's how this guy popped
up. Is they said, oh, you're looking for Lego. Here's more Lego.
Exactly. There it is.
So this is a channel that does mostly Lego puzzles.
There was kind of some other stuff, too. There was like a Lego candy machine and
a few other things. I like the candy machine. I thought it was cool. Yeah.
It's unique. There was... I would say they were. Like, I mean,
Andrew Parr stuff was pretty hard here. I think these were a little easier. The ones
I saw at least. Yeah.
They weren't, as.... I would say, they weren't as high in difficulty levels.
But, but really good stuff. Like I thought there was,
there was one where it was like a,
you had a Lego frame; a square or a cube frame and you had to fit pieces in
to fill the inside of the cube. That was a really cool one.
So essentially it was a Lego burr puzzle.
Yeah. And that was called, it was called Mini Puzzle Cube. You said, right?
Yeah. I watched a couple other ones.
I think the newest one was some sort of like James Bond themed one, that...
It was like a, just a box and you did a few things to it and then a piece popped out.
You can open the box and they'll show you the whole mechanism inside the box.
I actually watched one of the mechanisms on one of his videos.
They were actually pretty complicated mechanism.
I didn't totally understand everything that happened at the end of the part
where he showed it, but it was really cool and some sweet stuff. So, I mean,
there's a few, there's quite a few of these Lego guys popping up.
So Lego Snazzy on YouTube, check them out.
It was interesting. And snazzy has two Z's when you search it. Yeah.
S N A Z Z Y. Okay.
So next. Linnea, you were on Tik Tok and you found this. The Sensory Room.
Yeah. I've seen their stuff before on Tik Tok and they posted a new video.
I don't know if it's necessarily new,
but it was one that had popped up when I was searching for brain teasers.
It's called the Digits Puzzle.
So what they do is essentially it's the
numbers zero through nine and they're plastic pieces and you have to fit them
together in a shape that'll fit into the small square box.
Yeah. So they, yeah, there was like a,
like a clear acrylic box. And then yeah.
These look like....
those like magnet numbers you can get for your
fridge. Yeah. They look like a big version. They're a fairly big size,
but they all wove together. And then, yeah, I think most of this stuff,
wasn't.... not, not everything in this channel was puzzle related. This one was.
There was a few different puzzle ones; it was all kind of sensory.
So I think a lot of it was like.... It was almost like this
ASMR type of thing a bit, but really,
really good stuff. It was a girl doing it too. So, not
a lot of ladies out there in the puzzle world.
Yeah. We do carry some of the puzzles they did.
It's called Think Fun company. We do some of their,
individual person, single person game.
Yeah. Mostly packing stuff. Like there was,
there was one where you're packing like, paddlers into a boat, like,
like one of those whitewater rafting boats.
There was a marble circuit, which we did on the Live, one time here.
Yeah. Yeah. That's that one where it's like,
it's like these squares that have a marble path
in them and then you got to have the marble start at the top and they got to go into
the right holes at the bottom or slots at the bottom. Yeah. So that was cool.
So check that out.
That is The Sensory Room on Tik Tok. And that's it.
That's all we got for today's episode; Episode 100.
