Wooden Puzzle and Game Gifts Under $50

Start with two of our best sellers: Safecracker 50, Dave Janelle's five-ring math puzzle with one solution among 1,048,576 positions, and Calibron 12, our reproduction of Theodore Edison's 1933 twelve-block puzzle. For a serious solver, Stewart Coffin's Martin's Menace, his design number 217, sits in our Impossible Puzzle Series, and his Cracked Egg and Five Fit are under $50 as well. We make Coffin's designs with his permission. For someone who likes codes, Enigma III has double-sided wooden gears with a different scrambled alphabet on each face.

Most Penny Drop editions, from the 5 inch Mini to the Original with its cherry sliding lid. Dave Janelle invented the game in 2015, and every Penny Drop is made in our Hudson, Florida workshop. Shut the Box, the Folding Cribbage Board and two-player strategy games like Nine Men's Morris are under $50 too.
