- What's up guys and welcome back.
I don't know how to,
I don't know how to sit here and talk to you.
Hi.
Guys, happy New Year.
Hope you guys had a wonderful and safe New Year.
Glad to be back, glad to have you here with me.
By the way, those cards in the intro
are the poop emoji playing cards.
These are from a friend of mine Alejandro Portela
or his company The Cuso.
You can check him out.
I left his site below.
This is a poop deck.
They feel really nice.
They smell, well, I mean.
No, I'm just kidding, they smell fine.
Before I move on with today's puzzle,
this little guy namely, look at him.
I just want to mention that I dropped an update on the V2
or the first playing cards, which are my playing cards.
You can check it out
on my Instagram. (bubble popping)
And I'll be posting to my Instagram daily,
as of January 1st.
I'm setting myself up for a 365 project.
I did this a couple years ago.
It was treacherous.
It wasn't fun near the end.
I lost all sense of anything,
but what it did do is force me to be creative everyday,
and that's something that I really needed these days.
So if you guys wanna go follow the journey
and follow me there,
as well as some more updates from first playing cards.
Alright, check the link below, that's my Instagram.
This is a picture from my Instagram.
Go check it, go click it.
I mean enough talk, alright.
Let's get into solving this little beasty.
This is the Bear Get Ready puzzle.
It is a Karakuri box made
by the Karakuri Creation Group in Japan.
This is a very limited edition collectible puzzle.
I don't know what to expect with the Karakuri boxes.
They can be tricky.
They're most of all clever
and above all, extremely high quality.
These things are handcrafted in Japan.
I actually bought this one
from the Japanese site, had it shipped.
I paid in yen.
I paid for this in yen.
I've never paid for anything in yen in my life,
and hopefully this puzzle
doesn't give me too much of a hard time,
where I end up smashing it against the wall.
This box was created and themed for travel.
The bear is about to go traveling with his bag,
but he forgets things so easily,
like his glasses, his ticket, and even his watch.
So it's up to me to help the bear find these items,
so he can get to work.
Alright, and now it's time for us to get to work, let's go.
(fire sizzling)
Oh hello there mister bear.
Bear Get Ready, alright get ready bear.
It's time for you to go to work, homeboy.
Look at this puzzle.
This is a puzzle.
We're in 2019, ladies and gentlemen, and this is a puzzle.
We'll get the timer out,
and we're good.
Alright.
So first things first,
let's see if there's any moving parts.
So the hat comes off, sort of.
(tranquil music)
Are those glasses, what is that?
There's glasses up there or something, some round things.
I don't know what they're for.
They look like glasses.
(tranquil music)
Maybe that's what's up.
(tranquil music)
(box clicking)
(tranquil music)
So that opens up a little bit.
Oh, he's got his little clock in there.
Yeah, a little clock and I guess his little train ticket
to go to work.
Oh.
What's this back here?
What?
(tranquil music)
Okay, there's a little compartment back here.
Why is that there?
Why is there a little compartment?
I don't know.
(box clicking)
What does that do?
(tranquil music)
Is that it?
Was that it?
I think that was it.
I think that's the whole puzzle.
(tranquil music)
Huh.
I mean, really well made, really cute, but not very hard.
Let's check this out.
This is the solution, comes in a little envelope
with a seal.
Yep, there you go.
Step one, up the hut (laughs).
Then step two, open the trunk.
Step three push the ticket, and step four slide then open.
That is it, the Bear Get Ready.
I mean, that's really cool.
(tranquil music)
I paid a lot for this,
so I'm kinda, a little bit disappointed
that it was that easy,
but at the same time, it's all about the craftsmanship.
Even if you look at that, there's barely any seam here.
See, the thing is, you can't open this if this isn't lifted.
So as soon as this is lifted,
(box clicks) now that opens.
Let's try it.
Yeah, that's stuck.
So it is kinda sequential where you have to do this first.
Lift, open, push through, slide open,
and there's your little secret compartment back here.
It was a cute little puzzle, not gonna lie.
Very, very well done, craftsmanship is cool.
It's gonna look cool on the shelf,
and a fun little thing for my friends to toy around with.
Not necessarily the hardest puzzle I've ever done,
but these puzzles, especially the Karakuri type puzzles.
This is kinda like The Egg.
This is all about the craftsmanship,
and the story that goes with it, which is kinda cool.
There are his glasses by the way,
so he's found his glasses.
There you go, pretty simple.
The Bear Puzzle.
I just noticed as well,
that the box has these little glasses on it.
I guess that's where his glasses are.
Huh.
Alright guys, I mean simple enough right?
Look at this,
that's one, you get his glasses.
Two, three, four, and then done.
Extremely simple, not hard at all,
but I'm honestly not disappointed
because the craftsmanship on this is great.
It's just something fun.
It makes for a neat gift and something fun
just to have on the shelf as a talking piece.
I can even hide some paraphernalia in there if I wish,
which I won't.
But I could, but I won't, but I could.
Okay guys, that's enough from me.
