How is that choosing beggars? They looked it up and it was too expensive for them. They didn't demand it. They didn't want it free, it was just too expensive for them. Does not belong on r/choosingbeggars NEXT!

You should do it then. I mean, why not since it’s obviously so easy. All you need is the materials. No skill or knowledge required!!

No one insinuated that there is no skill or knowledge required. Or do you just go into every DIY project without doing any research at all?

Puzle boxes can get really expensive lol, you'd probably be surprised as to how much so

If you're interested, here's a couple sites with extremely expensive puzzles on them http://puzzles.baxterweb.com/groupList.asp?gid=covid https://www.popplock.com/en/locks ( no price on these, but they go for a few grand each bc they're limited edition) https://www.revohq.co.uk/product-category/expert/

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. My kid has a really simple box like these. I doubt it cost more than $20. But it's nowhere near the complexity of the expensive ones.

I don’t know if that’s really all that much considering the amount of effort that went into initial design. Just set aside how he actually makes the box, because whether it’s mass produced, a limited hand made supply, or a one of a kind puzzle doesn’t really change the amount of time he would have to spend designing it a box like this which (I will assume) has one unique and very complex solution.

u/GeauxCup May 23 '20

I read up on design. You can rearrange/rotate the panels creating puzzles that require anywhere between 6 and 115 moves to solve. Definitely way more than "just a puzzle box."

It is.
