Hanayama Puzzle Bundle with Bonus RED Velveteen Pouch

VORTEX Hanayama is a 3-piece cast metal brain teaser puzzle from Hanayama Puzzles of Japan, distributed under license in the USA by University Games / bePuzzled. The objective is to completely separate all three pieces and then rejoin them. When assembled, the puzzle forms a beautiful swirl shape similar to a Mobius band. Designed by Akio Yamamoto, a helpful hint for solving the puzzle is to think of a "crest". This brain teaser provides a great challenge for those who enjoy mechanical take-apart puzzles, recommended for ages 12 to 105. Some bright 8 to 11-year-olds may also enjoy this fascinating challenge. It requires clever movements and does not require force to solve. Some may initially solve it but not remember exactly how the pieces came apart, making re-assembly a fun challenge. The manufacturer rates VORTEX as a level 5 difficulty on a scale of 1 to 6, with 6 being the most challenging. However, your experience may vary. Measuring slightly under 2 inches across, VORTEX is just one of over 60 cast metal, pocket-size puzzles produced by the Hanayama Puzzle Company of Japan. This brain teaser is shaped like a Mobius strip and comes bundled with a soft red velveteen drawstring storage pouch, measuring approximately 4 x 3 inches. It is a compact, elegantly designed puzzle that provides a very tricky challenge for puzzle enthusiasts.
