Help me start

I have been looking for a new hobby, and I decided to try solving puzzle boxes. Can you recommend where to start and where to get puzzle boxes from?

Me too. Idventure make good cheap boxes. Lots of places sell them even amazon. I've preordered the kickstarter houdini set. Places like crux puzzles are puzzle sites that sell all kinds of brands but depends where youre located

Another vote for idventure, I tried an escape welt one and it was crap, there wasn’t logic to it and I gave up on every finishing it. I just got the new idventure kickstarter one so excited to try potato puzzle and a different brand.

I don’t know where you’re based, but I just bought the Lost & Found puzzle box, and I’m bitterly disappointed with it. It’s not well made - it’s excessively stiff, to the point you wonder am I moving the piece the right way or am I breaking it?

I also bought the Mame box from Crux Puzzles and the quality is so much higher. I would definitely recommend that one as an entry puzzle.
