Description

I have been asked regularly lately to come up with a design for a large puzzle box. You don't see many and if you find one they tend to be very expensive. Escape Rooms as well as people giving larger gifts often have a need for a large box that is fun and also reasonably priced. This stargazer puzzle box is one that I think fits that bill very nicely:) It is our own copyrighted design (as is true with many of our puzzle boxes).
The external box measures about 10” x 5” x 5”. It is made from floorboard material so it quite rugged as well as scratch resistant and water resistant. It is easily cleaned.
There are 3 dials on top that have astrology symbols lasered on them as well as some interesting designs on the box lasered on both ends. Can you figure out how to open? Note, no force is required.
The first secret is in the dials. Two of them don’t do anything except spin… but one of them when positioned correctly will lift off the box. Embedded within this dial is a powerful magnet. However, you don’t see that as there is a cover over the magnet.
Now… what to do…… It turns out that if this dial is placed in a secret position on the box it will release an internal latch and allow the lid to slide off. Great fun! Watch the video on Youtube to see the details.

The internal portion of the box has a felt lining on the bottom and there are 2 chambers. The larger one measures about 7.5” x 5.5” x 3 ¾” so this would be the max size object you could place inside the box.
Note this box could be custom laser engraved with a name or message or logo at modest extra cost. Please contact me separately for that.

Excellent service, and a fun puzzle! My boyfriend was stumped for a little while, but cracked the code to get to his Valentines goodies inside!

Such a clever puzzle and beautiful box. I’ve purchased this as a gift and thought it was so cool I had to buy one for myself. Definitely recommend!

Quite different from what you would find through a basic Google search. Great size that can fit a spring-loaded surprise gift box explosion (confetti and stuff that pops out and makes a mess once opened). Great quality box as well.

Beautiful box and works like a charm. I ordered this for my sister and had it engraved. The box is roomy on the inside and is felt lined. They did a beautiful job with the engraving and shipped it fast. I loved it so much I ordered a second box. Highly recommend this seller because of their beautiful crafysmanship, super fast shipping, and communication.

Shipped quickly, packaged well. Although it's only a few steps to open, the magnetic key is so tricky for most people to figure out. Seems sturdy although I'm worried about someone yanking the spinners off. Great way to spice up an ordinary gift like money.
