About the Puzzles:
Puzzles and brain teasers are in a niche industry that very few people know much about. We want to bring puzzles and brain teasers to the world so that everybody can enjoy the fun of playing with puzzles. We feel these three puzzles will do that. They are very unique made from anodized aluminum, so that they look extremely colorful, decorative and durable. Because they're made from metal, the feel of these puzzles is amazing. Just because they look amazing doesn't mean they're easy. All three puzzles are difficult to solve.

Slideways is the least difficult. It's easy to take apart, but much harder to put back together.

Dirty Dozen and Lattice are both hard to take apart and hard to put together. The Lattice puzzle takes it to a whole new level. It is one of the most difficult puzzles we know.

You can play with all of the puzzles for hours. At first glance, it looks like they are made from one piece of metal, but on closer inspection you see all the separate pieces.

When you get that first move, you can begin taking the rest of the pieces apart. These puzzles will give your brain a real workout. Your brain will need to use creative, alternative thinking patterns as you try to find the solutions. You will get hours and even days of entertainment.

OUR STORY
Allan Stein started this company over 30 years ago. It all began with a line of 10 puzzles that he thought would be good to bring to the public and also for his own enjoyment. The first puzzles were made in Allan's basement out of coat hangers. They seemed quite crude at the time, but did work.

For this Indiegogo campaign, we found two designers who produced fantastic puzzles. Jerry Loo from Singapore and Ray Stanton from the United States. Jerry Loo is the designer of Lattice and Dirty Dozen. Ray Stanton is the designer of Slideways. For 2019. We thought these would be the best three puzzles we could find for Indiegogo.
