Bepuzzled Hanayama Level 1 Diamond Metal-Cast Brain Teaser Puzzle

We love these puzzles. This one was a great starter puzzle! It was challenging enough none of us solved it right away but eventually all were able to solve it easily.

I have a friend that keeps borrowing these and I never see them again. She works with disabled adults, and people in recovery. They have taken to these quite a bit, and it's easy to see why. These are great for occupying the mind. Challenging, intriguing, and deeply satisfying. These feel very sturdy and well built. I love the weight and texture, and the mechanics are smooth and easy. These can't be forced, you really have to think your way through them. I'm hooked; hopefully these are finding their way to new fans of these terrific puzzles.

Simple but satisfying puzzle. Great fidget toy

I have 2 nephews so I bought 2 different versions of the Level 1 puzzles by this company. My nephews are 11 and 8. As soon as they opened these, they had them out of the boxes and were trying to figure them out. Mind you, they were in the middle of opening a stack of Christmas gifts, but they still didn't hesitate to rip into them! Everyone wanted in on trying their hand with them. The ages ranged from 72 year old grandparents, 40ish aunts and uncles, 20ish cousins, down to the actual ages of the gift recipients. In other words, they seem to be a crowd pleaser regardless of the age of the crowd. I wasn't sure about what level to buy when I was looking at the complexity. I didn't want it to be too easy so that it didn't require any effort (less fun) but I also didn't want it to be too hard (discouraging). I probably should have bought level 2 for each of them to start. The trout puzzle took the 8 year old less than 2 minutes to take apart and put back together. The diamond Level 1 was a little more difficult, but still took less than 5 minutes. For some it was more like 8-10 minutes. I highly recommend these puzzles! Not only are they fun, they are also well made. They are a really nice gift that is affordable.

Es pequeño pero de excelente calidad, fue para un regalo. Considero que como iniciación esta bien pero para algunas personas puede ser muy fácil... Yo subestimé al destinatario pero aun así le gustó
