Description

The Secret Lock Box is a wooden gift card and money puzzle box with a hidden compartment. Tuck a gift card, folded cash, a check, or a small keepsake inside, and the recipient has to solve the box before they can reach it. It is designed by Erhan Cubukcuoglu of Turkey and made by Creative Crafthouse with his permission.

This one is a genuine solve. There are five sliding rods on each end, and they all have to be worked into exactly the right position before the lid will release. You can see there is a mechanism, but finding the sequence takes patience. Every box ships with a printed instruction and solution sheet, so the gift giver always has the answer even if the recipient gets stuck.

  • Dimensions: 5 1/8 x 3 x 3 inches outside. The inside cavity is 3 3/8 x 2 1/8 x 2 1/8 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, nothing that wears out.
  • Difficulty: a real hands-on puzzle, not an instant reveal. For a different kind of challenge, where the box looks solid and the way in is anything but obvious, see the Secret Stash.
  • 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 as a small hidden-compartment box for cash, a spare key, or a card in plain sight.
  • Also used in DIY and professional escape rooms as a hidden-clue or reveal mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Secret Lock Box?

A wooden puzzle box with a hidden compartment that holds a gift card, folded cash, a check, or a small keepsake until you solve it. Designed by Erhan Cubukcuoglu and made by Creative Crafthouse with his permission.

How does it open?

It has five sliding rods on each end. You work all of them into exactly the right position to release the lid. A printed instruction and solution sheet is included.

How hard is it to open?

It is a genuine puzzle. You can see there is a mechanism, but aligning the rods to free the lid takes patience and trial. Most people get there, and a solution sheet is included so the gift giver always has the answer.

What can fit inside?

The inside cavity is 3 3/8 x 2 1/8 x 2 1/8 inches, which fits a standard plastic gift card, folded bills, a folded check, a key, or a small keepsake.

Who designed it, and where is it made?

Can I personalize it with engraving?

Yes. The hidden compartment turns a card or cash into a reveal the recipient has to earn, and the box gets kept long after. It works for birthdays, graduations, weddings, retirement, and the holidays.

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 or a milestone award.
