This is a Star Box.
It's available separately or as part of the six-piece
bamboo puzzle set on the Puzzle Master website.
we're going to start by finding the wiggly one
This is a brand-new puzzle so it's kind of tight,
but we're going to find it
and we're going to open it
and then slide the pieces apart.
After this puzzle is broken in some, it will just fall apart,
but now I guess, I'm going to have unassemble it.
Here it goes.
So this is what it looks like all apart
and you can see that there are 12 pieces.
Eleven of them are identical.
One of them, which is the key, has an extra cutout in it.
We'll put the key and the treasure out of the way for the moment.
Now, this puzzle can be done in hand,
but it is much, much easier if you have a flat surface.
So I'm just going to put a piece of paper down.
We're going to take two pieces, making sure that their cutouts are facing.
The next two pieces will go facing the first two cutouts.
The next two pieces will go on the little ledges right here
on all four of the first four pieces.
The next two pieces will go on the side
and the last pair pieces will go on the other side.
Now, here's the box minus its top.
We're going to hold these pieces tightly together
with the treasure in because if we just drop it in,
it could just pop everything open and we don't want to do that.
So next, we're going to put the last single piece in.
It will go in the middle and then down over the edge.
You can see how snug that fit is.
Like I said before, it's a brand-new puzzle and it's a very precise fit.
So now we're going to put our key in.
The key goes here,
but first we have to move this one out of the way.
If you have a loose puzzle, you'll want to hold on to it
this way to let this piece move,
but not this piece because if this piece moves, you can't get your key over it.
We also have to move this piece
in order for the key to get in.
So put the key in straight on the top,
slide it into position
then push and push.
We'll need to wiggle and push
being very gentle because you don't want to damage the puzzle.
It is bamboo.
It's very strong, but still, you want to be careful with it.
There's the puzzle all put together,
treasure inside.
