Descripción

Cracked Egg is Stewart Coffin's Design #260, a six-piece wooden packing puzzle for adult solvers and collectors of his work. The task is to fit every piece into the egg-shaped opening. We make Cracked Egg at Creative Crafthouse in Hudson, Florida, with Stewart Coffin's permission.

We laser-cut Cracked Egg's wooden frame and six pieces, giving you a curved boundary to work with instead of the straight sides of a square packing puzzle. At 6 by 5 by 0.5 inches, it is a great size for a desk or coffee table, ready whenever you want to try another arrangement.

It arrives unsolved with one puzzle board, six pieces and an instructions and solution sheet. You can give it to someone without showing them the arrangement, and they have the solution available if they decide to look.

Cracked Egg also gives escape-room guests a tabletop puzzle to try while they wait for their room. For a personal gift, we can engrave up to 45 characters on the frame.

For another Coffin packing challenge, see Five Fit Large, his five-piece Design #177A, or browse our Stewart Coffin puzzles.

Quality is consistently praised, though one customer noted minor thickness variation in pieces. Fast delivery and excellent craftsmanship stand out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the goal of Cracked Egg?

Fit all six wooden pieces into the egg-shaped opening. Cracked Egg is Stewart Coffin's Design #260, a dissection and packing puzzle with a curved frame.

Who is Stewart Coffin, and is this made with his permission?

Stewart Coffin is a geometric puzzle designer and the author of Geometric Puzzle Design, published in 2006. His work includes two-dimensional dissections as well as three-dimensional puzzles. We make Cracked Egg, his Design #260, with his permission at Creative Crafthouse in Hudson, Florida.

How difficult is it, and who would enjoy it?

Cracked Egg is in our hard puzzle range. It suits an adult who likes working through a packing puzzle and trying different arrangements. The six-piece count makes the task easy to understand, but should not be taken as a beginner difficulty rating.

What is included, and how large is it?

You receive one wooden puzzle board, six wooden pieces and an instructions and solution sheet. The frame and pieces are laser-cut, and the puzzle measures 6 by 5 by 0.5 inches.

Does Cracked Egg arrive solved?

No. It ships unsolved, with the solution supplied separately on the instruction sheet. The recipient can start without seeing how the pieces fit.

Could I use it in an escape-room waiting area?

Yes. Leave Cracked Egg on a table for guests to try before their room starts. It is a standalone packing puzzle, so the activity is simply to fit the six pieces into the egg-shaped frame.

How does it compare with Five Fit Large?

Cracked Egg has six pieces and an egg-shaped opening in a 6 by 5-inch frame. Five Fit Large is Coffin's five-piece Design #177A, with an engraved cover. Both arrive unsolved with a solution; choose according to the puzzle shape and presentation you want.

Can I personalize Cracked Egg?

Yes. Cracked Egg can be personalized with a custom laser engraving on the frame, up to 45 characters. Add a name, date, or short message when you order. See our laser engraving page for details and examples. For a custom logo or artwork, request a quote for custom work.

When does Cracked Egg ship?

Standard orders ship from Florida within 1 business day. Personalized orders usually ship within 2 days, with more time needed for detailed custom work or larger orders. Allow for the carrier's transit time as well.

What if I need to return it or notice an order mistake?

We provide free returns. If an engraving or address mistake comes from the information you supplied, we do not refund the item or shipping costs. If we make a mistake, we will refund or replace the item at no cost to you.
