In this episode of Puzzle Time,
we have two brand new 3d printed Cryptex Cylinders from a Canadian company,
Canadian designer. Check them out in this episode.
Welcome to Episode 102 of Puzzle Time. We are here.
We've got a whole bunch of puzzles and a very busy episode for you today.
So Linnea, let's just show off... Let's show off a few different things here,
but let's do, let's start with this stuff here.
We've got a Kickstarter coming up here in December 1st here at Puzzle Master
that we're going to be kick-starting; three brand new puzzles from
two of our favorite designers. These puzzles are called Total Eclipse,
The Skull and Quintus Extreme. Now,
the skull is designed by Jerry Loo. If you were part of our last Kickstarter,
Jetry Loo did the Dirty Dozen and the Lattice puzzles,
and then Oscar van Deventer,
a Dutch designer did Total Eclipse and the Quintus Extreme
puzzles. So, yeah, there's the boxes.
I think the one that looks physically appealing the best to me;
I like this one. Quintus Extreme. And this one's quite nice too, though, as well.
Yeah, here are the puzzles, right here. So we've got the... Here,
you hold that one up.
That one's hard to see. That one kind of is a little flatter;
It looks like a coaster.
We're going to be showing these puzzles off a little more in depth next episode.
And so tune in for Episode 103,
and we're going to be showing each of these off
and give you a little bit more information on that and tell you what the
Kickstarter and what it's all going to look like. So again,
that Kickstarter is running December 1st to 31st, keep an eye on for it.
You've got a little, a little bit of time before that starts.
So there's those three; put them aside over there.
And then let's move on to another puzzle here that I want to show off really
quickly. It's all the Three Peg.
It's from MW puzzles and it's a puzzle that we got in here just as a sample.
I don't know that we're going to get it here at Puzzle Master,
but this is the puzzle. It's really interesting. You,
gotta get this top peg out and there's a piece here that kind of like screws in and
out and you can screw it into that side.
I tried playing with it a little bit; couldn't solve it, but there it is.
It's made of a metal. It's pretty heavy. It's got a little engraving there,
a little sticker that says: The Three Peg. You can see that. And yeah,
I just wanted to show that off. You can get it from MW Puzzles.
You can look them up on Google.
It looks similar to Wil Strijbos puzzles;
similar feel to it as well, that weight.
It's nice. It's well-made. Well, let's get into today's puzzles. Alright Linnea,
we have nothing else? No. Okay. Let's just pull both of them out.
Let's just go. Right here. Okay. Linnea, you talk about these. You know
more about these puzzles than I do.
I was playing around with them a bit yesterday. So they're both Cryptex
puzzles. They're 3d printed.
And so this one is... Who is it from? It's from
Creative Workshop.
Creative Workshop. So this is a company in Canada, right?
Is .ca for Canada or California?
No, Canada. This is Canadian, from Ontario here in Canada. So, yeah,
we got these in. I always love it when we get Canadian designers on here.
There's not as many of us out there are not as many Canadians in the puzzle
world, but they are out there. So,
Well Chris Ramsey is a Canadian. He's the,
one of the biggest ones on YouTube. So a Canadian's got something going for us
for puzzles on YouTube.
Yeah. From Creative Workshop. Linnea, talk about that one first.
So this one's called the Eye of Horus. It's a level seven.
So what's going on inside is there's ball-bearings and I believe in
this one, there's two tracks. I'm not sure if this one...
I think there's just one level and you have to get... Both have ball-bearings.
Yes. That one has four. And this one, it didn't say how many it has.
I think it's like two or three maybe,
but you can see the one ball-bearing right there.
And that is the Eye of Horus right there. That you can see on top right here.
That's like the... I don't know if it is Greek.
I'm not sure what it's from; some sort of mythological thing,
but it's right there on the top.
And you have to get the ball bearings essentially to fall through,
into the center. And then this part can lift out,
once you get the ball bearings to fall through.
There's also holes right here, where you can see the ball-bearings will end up,
as well. I've seen them through holes.
In like, the head here? Yeah.
Oh okay, so there's like a hole there.
So you can see them through; not as well as the other one,
cause they're a bit smaller.
This one's got like Egyptian hieroglyphics all around the outside.
That's what it is. The Eye Of Horus is Egyptian. Yeah. So yeah.
There's Egyptian hieroglyphics all over it. Apparently, now this one,
this one does not say it. There is no clues on the outside of this one,
but this one does have clues. It says on the outside of the....
Well, I think, cause this one, you can see so much more of what's going on.
Like this one, I was solving it without using the Cryptex.
So you can use the codes if you want to, to follow the clues.
Oh, like the stuff on top here.
But I was looking through the holes and you could actually just maneuver your
way through, without following the Cryptex, like the codes on there.
Whereas this one more,
you would need to use the codes a little bit more because you can't see as much of
what's going on inside.
So that one is a level seven. So this one is harder. I mean,
hence it being bigger too. Yeah.
This one is called the Newton puzzle and it's obviously, based on
Newton, the famous inventor, genius guy. Yeah,
it's got a whole bunch of these codes. Now, this one does say:
'clues are embossed on the puzzle'.
You can see right here on this thing: 'clues are embossed on the puzzle'. As well,
it says tools.... It says to get a flashlight and Google.
I'm wondering if, if you know math, like math really good.
I wonder if those equal out to be something with the numbers up here. Right?
Yeah, there's something solvable on this. I mean, that's why I have so many numbers,
so many of these equations.
And then I think they're going to line up with like the Roman numerals on the top
here
and going to give you some sort of like a position or something. And there's even
like, I don't know what this is. 3, 3, 1, 1, like there's different,
different symbols and stuff all over it.
It's even got them on the bottom here too. There's more Roman
numerals there. And then those line up even with the
Roman numerals around the outside here. Yeah.
So I figured out what's going on, is these two can move freely until you have the
balls.
Hold on. Hold on. You're talking about the 2 cylinders?
Yeah, like there's two different cylinders. These can both move freely by themselves.
And then this one can move freely as well. But once you
have.... Three cylinders that move in here?
Yeah. Once you have the balls start falling through,
then they lock into place and then you have to....
That's what I've felt from playing around with it though.
So there's a cylinder here on the bottom, a cylinder here,
a cylinder right here on the top. And then there's another cylinder right...
That one there. There's three cylinders.
So this one only had the one part that.... No, there's two,
There's two, yeah.
This one's two again, too. So there's a cylinder right there.
And a cylinder right there that moves.
Yeah. Well this is the outer layer.
And then this is the center layer that you need; once balls fall through to the
center layer. This is what's left out. Okay. Whereas this one,
I think they said both layers come apart.
So you think with these there's like tracks around the outside that the balls kind
of roll in and then you're putting them through holes in each layer?
Yeah. I feel like it's similar to this where it has tracks, where you can see the
tracks in there that move and then they would fall through, I feel like.
See, the thing I like about this one, is there's a little more visibility, that you
see through it.
You can see what's going on inside and this one you're completely.... Well,
I guess there's still holes in this one. There's a hole day in the head.
There's a hole there in the hand.
But with the dark color,
it's hard to see what's going on. Yeah it is. This one is lighter and you can see.
And there's a lot more holes on this one. Hmm. Okay.
So this is level eight on the Puzzle Master difficulty rating scale. This is a
level seven on the Puzzle Master difficulty rating scale.
So they're both cryptex's. Yeah. Newton Cryptex and the Eye of Horus.
And there is a decent space in there,
they said, that you can give a gift in; like you can hide something. You can store stuff in there? Yeah.
You can store stuff in there or give a gift to somebody in there. So...
So you could like, I mean, this could be your present for somebody.
You could throw a hundred dollar bill or something in there,
depending on how generous you want to be. Okay
Okay, cool. Yeah. These are available on the Puzzle Master website
puzzlemaster.ca. You can go there and check it out.
They're a really good price too.
Like the price for being like 3D printed and the cryptex and stuff
like... That was what
we were marveling at, as well. For as nice and then well-made as these are,
they they're a surprisingly good price. So I would definitely go,
go take a look at them, check them out. Like I said,
Creative Workshop in Canada here. So support us, Canadians.
There we go. Hey, let's get into the Online Buzz
Our Online Buzz is going to be mostly escape rooms today. Actually,
it's going to be all escape rooms. Pretty exciting. Not escape rooms.
It's going to be escape rooms in a box.
So it's going to be all escape room boxes. That's all we got.
That's all we got today for you. So first,
is... Now you'll, actually, you'll recognize a few of these companies.
One of them is brand new, that we've never seen before.
The Nautilus from IDVenture. So you've seen their stuff before.
That's the Schrodinger's Cat and what was the other one? Davy Jone's Locker. Right.
So this is their new one that they Kickstarted. Now, this Kickstarter is over,
but you can see a bit of the puzzle on Puzzle King. He's one of the,
I think it's Japanese, right? I think he's Japanese? Yeah.
He's one of our Japanese YouTubers. Now you can go check him out.
We'll throw a link in the description, but yeah,
Puzzle King has a little bit of a...
He does a whole episode on the Nautilus from IDventure.
And then next is... You want us to talk about.... You talk about Escape Welt.
So this one is actually pretty exciting.
It looked probably the most esthetically pleasing to me. It's called the House of
Dragon. So now they have three other boxes. Yeah, that's the three other ones.
So they have... We carry... There's a Space Box,
the Fort Knox Box and the Quest Pyramid puzzle,
but then they had another one too that we didn't carry. It was the Orbital.
Orbital something. Orbital Box. It was on the Kickstarter. You can see it there.
Yeah, you can get... But they all have,
I think the Escape Welt has 24 days left on the Kickstarter.
So from when this will posted, there'll be 10 days left. Yeah.
Yeah. It'll end December 5th. So yeah,
kind of 24 days where from our shooting this, but
you guys got to figure that out when you're watching this. So December 5th,
2021 is where that Kickstarter will end. We will... One thing I should say,
actually,
we're going to have.... probably going to have all three of these on our site.
So guys, if you like these and want to order them, like we can,
you can get them all three, probably from us.
We're still working on the last one because we just found out before we shot
the episode today,
but we're definitely going to get Escape Welt and we're going to have the
Nautilus in here at Puzzle Master. So you can get them from us.
But yeah, House Of Dragon. I thought it looked pretty cool.
It was really interesting. They did really well on that one.
I found it hard to tell what all happens in the puzzle. They show off the
puzzle. They kind of show the pieces,
but I'd like to see some of the movement in their videos and I didn't see
that in these. So I... I think with all of them,
they didn't really show a lot of movement. And so,
but Puzzle King definitely does show that in the Nautilus,
if you want to check out there. House of dragon; I
I couldn't find any information on them other than the Kickstarter.
And then the last one... Now we we've mentioned this
This is a brand new one.
I actually found it because I went to Kickstarter and I was trying to find the
House of Dragon. And I just kind of stumbled upon this one.
So it's called... it's from,
I actually don't know if this is the puzzle or the company name,
but it's called Huntaclue. Yeah. Huntaclue. And it's on Kickstarter;
go check it out. And they have.... Yeah, again, this is one of those ones, where I...
Like, it was hard to tell what the puzzle actually does. Like, I mean,
I... it's hard. It looks cool. I thought it looked like a really good design.
Again, it's going to be that like laser cut plywood or whatever.
Kind of like what these other ones look like, but
their Kickstarter ends December 7th and
I guess both 26 days from when we were shooting this. But yeah,
go check them out on Kickstarter: Huntaclue. Like I said,
we are going to work on trying to get that one in here at Puzzle Master because
we like it and I thought it looked cool.
And it's just something new that we've never seen before.
That's three new escape rooms in a box for you coming up here in the next month.
We're going to be having them to here at Puzzle Master, hopefully. So yeah.
Keep an eye out for those. And yeah.
If you don't know what these are, you can also check them out on our site.
We do carry some of them in the store.
Yeah. And Escape Welt and IDventure have lots of videos on YouTube.
So a lot of the YouTubers have done them,
so their stuff's out there and they're really good. They're often... I find,
find these puzzles for the amount of puzzle you actually get, are a great, great
price point on most all of them.
So we'll see what Huntaclue ends up coming in at. I don't know. Yeah.
I don't even know where they're from. Who knows. I don't know much about them,
but keep an eye out for that. That is the end of Online Buzz.
