Alexander Magyarics is a relative newcomer to the world of puzzle design but he has crashed into it and rapidly made a name for himself as someone with talent! He doesn’t seem to just be a manipulator of Burrtools to make things that interlock, he has a unique knack of finding shapes and challenges that are not only just the right level of difficulty but are also great fun – they require exploration and thought and a lot of movement! 

This rather complex box comes with 6 equally complex pieces to be inserted inside. The pieces leave gaps in the 3×3 cavity of the box and the aim is to insert them inside such that there are no holes visible in the H shaped entry slot at the top. These pieces are shaped in such a way that it is actually quite difficult to find a way to put them in the box. Just the right difficulty level to provide a decent challenge and lovely ‘Aha!’ moment without leading to a puzzler tearing out what little hair he has left!
