Description

The 3 Wheel Combo is a wooden combination puzzle box that hides a gift card, folded cash, a check, or a small keepsake behind a three-wheel lock. It is a Creative Crafthouse original design. Three wheels are set into the lid, and all three have to line up in the right positions at the same time before the lid will pivot open.

The combination is set and included with the box, so the gift always opens for the person you give it to. Anyone who does not know it has a real little puzzle on their hands, usually five to ten minutes of turning and testing. It turns handing over a card or some cash into a moment they work for, instead of an envelope.

  • Dimensions: 5 x 2.67 x 2.8 inches outside. The inside cavity is 4.6 x 1.9 x 1.6 inches, sized for a standard gift card, folded bills, a folded check, or a small keepsake.
  • Material: raintree, a warm-toned wood. No batteries, no electronics.
  • Difficulty: an approachable solve with the included combination, a fun challenge without it. A good pick when you want the recipient to enjoy opening it.
  • Personalization: laser-engraved name, date, monogram, or short message on the lid, up to 45 characters, for $4. Company logos and custom artwork available for corporate gifts.
  • Reusable. The box outlasts the gift inside, and many people keep it on a shelf or desk as a small hidden-compartment box.
  • Also used in DIY and professional escape rooms as a combination-lock reveal.

Made by Creative Crafthouse and shipped from our Florida shop. Browse the full Gift Card & Money Puzzle Boxes collection, or for a tougher solve see the Secret Lock Box or the Secret Stash.

The puzzle boxes are well made and not terribly difficult to solve. I cannot wait to gift these and see the kids work out how to open them. I had an issue with the engraving on one and the seller responded immediately and shipped out a correction the next day. I will definitely be buying from this shop again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3 Wheel Combo box?

A wooden combination puzzle box that holds a gift card, folded cash, a check, or a small keepsake behind a three-wheel lock. A Creative Crafthouse original design.

How does it open?

Three wheels are set into the lid. You line all three up in the right positions at the same time and the lid pivots open. The combination is included with the box.

Can I set my own combination?

No. The combination is set before it ships and comes with the box, so the gift always opens. You cannot change it, but most people never guess it without the included answer.

How hard is it to open?

Approachable with the included combination, and a fun challenge without it, usually five to ten minutes of turning and testing.

What can fit inside?

The inside cavity is 4.6 x 1.9 x 1.6 inches, which fits a standard gift card, folded bills, a folded check, or a small keepsake.

What are the dimensions?

5 x 2.67 x 2.8 inches on the outside.

What is it made of?

Raintree, a warm-toned wood, with no batteries or electronics.

Who makes it, and where?

It is a Creative Crafthouse original design, made by Creative Crafthouse and shipped from our Florida shop.

Can I personalize it with engraving?

Yes. We laser engrave a name, date, monogram, or short message on the lid for $4, up to 45 characters. Company logos and custom artwork available for corporate gifts.

Is it a good way to give a gift card or cash?

Yes. The three-wheel lock turns a card or cash into a reveal the recipient has to work for, and the box gets kept long after. It works for birthdays, graduations, weddings, retirement, and the holidays.

Is it a good anniversary or corporate gift?

Yes. Engraved with two names and a date, it suits the fifth wedding anniversary, traditionally the wood anniversary. With a company logo it also works as a corporate or client gift.
