Piece that pulls out. Like a big piece? Yeah. Yeah. I won't, I won't ruin it,
but there is a big piece that pulls out and there's some really.... Like, I,
I was super impressed with this.
Welcome to Episode 105 of Puzzle Time. Today, we
wanna start with our Kickstarter, Linnea. We're gonna talk about...
We are kickstarting three puzzles right now.
So running from December 1st,
till December 31st on Kickstarter. Linnea, what are the names of the puzzles? There's,
The Skull, Quintus Extreme and
Total Eclipse. The Skull, Quintus Extreme and Total Eclipse.
They are incredibly hard puzzles. We'll have a link for you here.
You click on that link and go to the Kickstarter, if you want to take a at it.
It is coming along really good.
I know the Kickstarter just jumped outta the gates at the start.
So if you guys want to get involved in this, it's really awesome.
Three new puzzles: one from
Jerry Loo and then two from Oskar van Deventer. And
so go check 'em out at kickstarter.com. We'll have a link for you
here and also in the description. So, yeah.
Make sure you guys check that out. We would love your support. And yeah,
it's our second kick starter campaign, so help us make it a success.
Okay. Yeah, let's get into today's episode.
So we have some new... Do you think we should call them new?
Remakes or I
dunno. I don't know. We, we have some, some, some new stuff from IDventure.
So you've seen IDventure before. This is, this is the Davy Jone's Locker,
right? Yeah. Yeah.
And there is a brand new puzzle that they have coming out here called the
Nautilus. And you've probably seen it before.
I believe Mr. Puzzle, Puzzle Guy and Chris Ramsey all did it on their YouTube
channels. And it's a great puzzle.
So the Nautilus is the new one. This is Davy Jones' Locker.
I think this is the second one that they did, right? Yeah.
They did Schrodinger's Cat, which is a level nine on our difficulty scale.
And then Davy Jones' Locker, which is a level ten. Nautilus is gonna be a level 10.
Yeah. Yeah. So Nautilus is available on our website:
puzzlemaster.ca. You can get it and you can get all of these.
I believe as we shoot this, we might have some of them that are sold out.
We'll see. But, yeah, you can get them all on our website.
But so now , this is the normal puzzle.
The ones we got in today, let's pull them out.
Do you have this one or do I have this?
You have this one. Pull out this exact one right here. There it is. Okay.
So just so you can see it... Here, you hold it up, Linnea.
There is the size difference. Now essentially not a new puzzle.
It's just a giant version of this puzzle. So if you guys want,
we have available for purchase these. What are they called now?
They're called mega... mega boxes. Yeah. Mega boxes.
So you can see it's the exact same puzzle. No difference, but just massive.
So move that one around, Linnea. Play with it a little bit.
You were playing with this one before. Hey. Yeah. There's some cool stuff on it.
You guys have seen these before probably, but we have giant versions.
So this is the, the Davy Jones locker version, mega box.
Okay. So let's put that one aside, right up here. Let's pull out the next one.
This one you guys will recognize; this is Schrodinger's Cat. Again,
same puzzle as a small version, just a massive, giant version of it.
Yeah. I love these, these looks so cool, man.
These are those these little.... Wow. Yeah. Just, just so much bigger.
There's a lot of stuff inside this one. Oh,
these, that's these things. Yeah, sliders. Man, that's loud. Okay.
Okay. So there's Schrodinger's Cat. Now pull out the last one. Now,
this is the new one. Oh, yeah's right. I have it on this side. okay.
Right here. Here is the Nautilus. I'm gonna be honest.
I think this Nautilus actually looks like the coolest of the three of them.
There was a lot going on the outside of this puzzle.
And you said it's a level ten, Linnea? Yes. Okay. Yeah. I'm excited about it.
Do you know much else about it? No. I do.
I did watch Chris Ramsey's video on this. Like he had done
this puzzle and there was some really cool stuff.
There was some pieces...
I think Chris Ramsey's favorite part was that there was some pieces you pull out
and then you put back into the puzzle in different spots.
So sequential discovery, you said? Yeah. And it, yeah. Yeah.
So, I mean,
these are just so big and there's like this propeller thing that like,
looks like you have little like land masses, almost, on it.
Everything on this puzzle moves. There's a, well,
it looks like a keyhole here on this one. What do you got on that side?
It's supposed to move. I think you, you have to eventually slide it,
so you can get this on.... You start with some other pieces
first, maybe. And it'll lead around to this. Man,
there's just so much cool stuff on this.
So you can see like this middle disc will eventually turn and it looks like it
interacts with these pieces here. Okay. And then...
So this thing, I think, will eventually come out, maybe.
Yeah. Maybe that'll come out. It looks like some sort of key,
maybe, that comes out. It's kind of loose. And then this moves,
Obviously it does move. That key will lock it in. There's numbers.
There's symbols in here. There's something on those.
Look at this even. There's holes on the side here. I dunno what that is.
There's holes on the side.
I wonder if that lines up with anything or if that's just a style thing.
Maybe it's just a style thing because they're all around. Yeah. So then here,
there's this gear thing and then on the bottom, there's a gear
here and some sliders there that move. Man,
this Davy Jones' or this Nautilus
one looks like it has more.... Like seriously, just look. Like,
look at the difference between them. Like there's some plain sides on this
and like some flat stuff. Davy Jones or Nautilus has way more stuff than this Davy
Jones's Locker going on on the outside of it. Man, I don't know.
I think this Nautilus looks really cool. This one has quite a bit of different color though.
I like that it uses the light color. Yeah. Some lighter color. Actually, yeah.
There's some lighter color wood. This one's all pretty similar. This one's all pretty similar, too.
So I like that actually. So that, that's a good point.
That is also why this one looks a lot neater
because they're working with the lighter and the darker colored woods on them. Hmm.
But so this... We will have this
Nautilus puzzle for sale on our website. It's the new one and...
I'm guessing it will go pretty fast though,
Cause like these ones are like a couple years old and they still like sell like
crazy. Yeah. They, they sell really well. So I mean these....
And we will have a limited supply here before Christmas.
So if you're wanting to get the smaller version before Christmas, get in fast.
But especially if you wanna get these big ones,
we have a very limited supply of these like less than double digit. I won't
give you the exact number, but they are... We've already sold,
I think, quite a few of, of these. See this one,
this one I saw Chris Ramsey pulled this...
Like there's something that pulls out of this puzzle. And then if you like it,
come to our site, man, there's the, there's the big ones here. So,
so much stuff though.
And I think the best part about this IDventure stuff is that their price point
is great. Honestly. Like they,
I don't know how.. We marvel at how they make these puzzles for
the price that you guys get 'em for. So, the quality is there,
the craftsmanship and the uniqueness. I mean, there is,
there is other companies coming out with
the same kind of escape room in a box idea, but
just none that have done it quite the same level as, as IDventure, at this point,
I would say. Just all around, such good puzzles. So yeah,
there it is Megaboxes from IDventure.
That's kinda all we got for today's episode,
but I just thought these were super cool and quite unique.
So yeah, let's move on.
Let's move on to the Online Buzz.
There we go. Put that up there and then you can see a bit more. Okay.
Online Buzz. Linnea, we have talked about our Kickstarter already.
Do you wanna talk a bit more about it? Who,
where can they go to watch actually? So on our Kickstarter, we have our,
our main video you can watch, that we made,
but there's some other people who have solved some of the puzzles on there.
Where can they go? So if you
want to check it out on YouTube, there's two of the big guys, Mr.
Puzzle and Puzzle Guy; they both solve the Quintus Extreme. Yep.
And then Puzzling Time does quite a bit of info on the
puzzles. Yeah. Yeah. Puzzling Time gives a bit more info,
like Linnea said on just.... He doesn't do a solve,
but shows you a bit of the puzzles though. And then yeah,
Puzzle Guy and Mr. Puzzle do Quintus Extreme.
Do you remember how long it took?
Puzzle Guy was two hours and then he had to come back to it the next morning,
cuz it was just frustrating him too much.
Mm-hmm. And then he solved it the next morning, right away.
And then Mr. Puzzle took six hours. Six
hours. Yeah. So, you know, I mean, these are two of like the,
the premier guys for doing puzzles. I think they're two of the best,
best on YouTube for solving puzzles. Yeah. So I mean, you know,
when it's taken like a total of eight hours between the two of them to solve,
it's a lot. Like that's, that's a lot. Yeah. It's interesting.
Like the Quintus Extreme is just... It's not a... it's hard to explain,
but you almost have to weave the rings into each other. Oh, there's one right there.
Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, here we can show it. Let's do that.
Here's the open version. So I mean, it doesn't look like it should be like...
It's a five piece puzzle. It does not look like it should be that hard, but,
it really is. And so, I mean, you, you know...
Like Mr Puzzle gave it a five out of five difficulty on his
episode. So, you know,
it's an extremely hard puzzle. It's from the mind of Oskar van Deventer, so,
you know, it's gonna be really difficult because he's just, just a genius.
So I mean yeah. Chance are,
we're never gonna get this one back together because nobody here at Puzzle
Master has solved this puzzle at this point. So, yeah.
So with this one, did he start with like a...? Was it a flat pack or
was it more of a raised one and then he squished it
flat. Yeah. Well like, I mean you can get puzzle rings, like a literal,
like ring you wear on your finger, like this and they have not flat rings like
this. It's more like, it goes, it's hard to explain,
but essentially this is a flattened version of the puzzle rings. Yeah.
Yeah. And so what, what I,
under.... What I understand what Mr Puzzle did and I assume Puzzle Guy,
but I didn't watch his full video, but
they essentially worked off of the picture on the front of the box. Because the,
the picture on the front of the box has the solved version.
So you can kind of see how the rings interact with each other. All that said,
I mean, it still took six hours for Mr. Puzzle to solve it,
with that picture. And from what I understand,
it's because the rings,
aren't just like being shoved together and like working like this.
You have to almost like weave one in, up and then down.
So it almost goes up and then in to the puzzle when you're doing it.
It's hard to explain,
but it's not just a straight like organizing them and like they just fall
into place. It's like you weave it in and it falls in. So yeah,
extremely hard. And I'll say this,
they didn't even attempt The Skull because I think The Skull's just next level
hard. Here it is right here, actually. We've got... look at this. Here's a bit,
a bit of The Skull puzzle taken apart right here. Right. So I mean,
you can see it's, it's gonna be insane to do. And that's,
that's why I suspect nobody has, has attempted to do it on video yet
because it just, it just, it's so hard.
It's probably gonna take hours to record.
Oh absolutely. And I, I think the solve itself, like doing it or recording
it, would be just like tedious. It's gonna be so hard and so long. So I mean,
these are extremely hard puzzles. And then like the
Total Eclipse is a great puzzle. I think it's, it's the,
probably the best looking puzzle of the bunch. It just looks really cool,
but a little less harder. It's a level nine on
the Puzzle Master difficulty rating scale. But again,
go check about Puzzling Time, Puzzle Guy and Mr. Puzzle who have all done
a video on this Kickstarter campaign and what we're we're doing here.
So, okay next.
I'm gonna talk about another puzzle that we will be getting in here at Puzzle Master.
And it's from a name that's familiar to everybody,
Engineer Bruns. Now go to Engineer Bruns channel on YouTube.
There's some amazing videos there.
The guy does phenomenal work. He did one like the Excaliburr puzzle; different than
the like wooden Excaliburr. I really liked.
It's a remake of someone else's design; it's super cool. But
he talks about a puzzle called the Metal Barrel puzzle.
And essentially what it looks like.... It looks like those... Is it 40 gallon,
like oil drums. Yeah. Yeah,
but it looks like an oil drum. So it's a, it's a smaller metal puzzle.
He machines it himself.
And if you go to his channel and check out the Metal Barrel puzzle,
he'll show you the whole machining process to it. And then he solved it. Linnea,
we watched the solve, hey. It
took a, like we had to go back and double check cause we didn't completely like
understand exactly why he was moving things in a certain
way, but... He has like.... So he solves it in front of you,
but then he also has like a little diagram that explains what's happening.
It was hard to understand. It went by really fast. So we watched,
I think at like quarter time speed.
I think we finally understood what all was going on, but it
looks like a really cool puzzle. If you saw the last one,
Engineer Bruns did... what's the other...? Free The Coin, right? Yeah.
And then we have Machinist's Stash.
Yeah. Machinist's Stash. That's the other one. Sorry. That's the other one we have.
Yeah. So,
We have... He has a Free The Coin one that we watched
on YouTube that you're thinking of. Yeah. So, but also in this Metal Barrel puzzle, there is,
I think the whole point is to get this coin out the puzzle too. So
the barrel will open up in two pieces pieces and there's a coin that comes out.
So that's the whole point of it. Yeah,
we'll be getting it here at Puzzle Master
soon. It's on its way; it's being shipped. So keep an eye for that.
Go watch Engineer Bruns channel because they're phenomenal videos and he does some great
work. So, and then last but not least is Benno de Grote.
Now we've talked about Benno de Grote on here before on the Online Buzz and we did get
some of Benno's puzzles in. It's called the Benno boxes.
And he also helped design Dice puzzle box.
Oh, right, right, right. So, yeah,
Benno de Grote. Check out his YouTube channel and I watched the
Cabin Puzzle boxes. Now what these are, is wooden puzzle boxes. They
look like they're about the size of this. So it's a wooden puzzle box.
It looks like a cabin or a house. And so there's like a door and windows,
that sort of thing. I thought they were really unique looking.
They're sequential discovery. No, they're not. They're just puzzle boxes.
Not sequential. Well, I think actually the one,
the one is sequential discovery; it did have a tool.
But neither was super hard. They were interesting though.
There's two different ones that he's made and I enjoyed watching them. So,
I thought the design of the puzzle boxes themselves was probably my,
my favorite part. One was a little easier. One was a little harder,
but nothing too crazy. But I enjoyed watching them. Yeah.
Benno de Grote has some really interesting stuff on his channel. So,
yeah. And go check out the impossible cubes.
Those are.... That's what we have. It's like a 3d printed thing,
puzzle cubes. So they come apart. Yeah, into pieces. They're great. So,
yeah. Benno Boxes. Check it out on puzzlemaster.ca.
That's all we got for today. It's the end of our episode. Again,
