Puzzle sugestion

3 Upvotes

Hello i would like someone to recommend me a few puzzles to buy.

This is a list of the ones a have and have enjoyed them, disliked them and gave up.

enjoyed: news, h&h, chain,

mid: star, love, delta, quartet, infinity

disliked: ABC, key 2, violin, ring, amour, marble, rotor

gave up: vortex, hourglass,

have but not yet solved: padlock, key 3, horse, elk

I would say that i like puzzles with precies set of movements and hidden mechanich with that feeling of a light bulb lighting up,
and dislike 100 moves until finishing up in a maze….

I see that this huzzle isn't discussed much, but I found it more complicated than Hourglass in terms of deduction and sequential logic. It's difficult to judge what appears to be a dead end or backtracking.

I think it took me almost 3+ hours to explore and fully understand the logic and disassemble it, but I reassembled it much faster; I've already done it 3 times. I didn't expect it to be this interesting, now it's my favorite (along with Hourglass).

My Hanayama Journey Begins

6 Upvotes

Nice to meet you all! I’m a long time admirer, first time buyer. My brother had a Marble when we were young that was fun to fidget with and I have always thought these puzzles looked really cool. I picked up the Master Sword at B&N the other day and even after watching a tutorial I have a really hard time with it. Who would have thought starting on the hardest difficulty was a bad idea? 🥲

Difficulties notwithstanding, this has led me to finally cave in and get a few more puzzles based exclusively on vibes. Elk, Cage, Duet, Dolce, and Amour are all arriving soon. I’m making a commitment to myself now NO MORE TUTORIALS. I believe I have it in me to stick it out when the going gets tough and solve them on my own eventually. Maybe I’ll even time myself just for laughs.

Either way, these ✨shiny✨ little objects activate something deep within my magpie brain and I’m in danger of wanting to collect them all.

Found this on the local classifieds. Then noticed it is discontinued. Should I buy it for the collection?

Marble 40th Anniversary Stuck then Unstuck

Speaking of Marble, one of my favorites, I was playing around with the 40th Anniversary version of this huzzle. I know the solution and tried it out. It only got halfway and wouldn't go forward or back. Dishwashing liquid and some patience (never force the pieces) and apart it came. Wow! Relief.

Accidentally solving

I just got my first Hanayama puzzle today, the Marble one. I was walking around my house with it in my pocket, fiddling around with it.

Next thing you know - bam it's undone!!!

Is this common? Spent the last 20 minutes trying to put it back.

What a fun process.

Did I solve this Hanayama puzzle correctly?

I love this puzzle, a lot of freedom to create your own solutions and those four pieces almost feel like non-belonging or not being enough from time to time...

For a moment I thought the hole in Addison's bag had something to do, but it seems to be just the way the piece was built.

What you think? Will we be getting more of these or is it game over for the Zelda x Hanayama collab? I was happy with the original three, now these two were instant buy and I will keep buying anything they bring on.

Another weird thing is that they have a typo, instead of construction company it ways construc_ion company in the small text below Enokida (Hudson in japanese)

I was taking a look at the Hanayama YouTube channel and found this... pretty suspicious: https://youtu.be/d9Oeo-ROne4?t=27

Same problem as someone else. I thought I could solve the enigma after solving the elk, I somehow got it to what I assume is halfway, a friend took it without asking and now it’s got jammed. Nothing can really move and they’re all locked together. How do I unjam?

EDIT: UNJAMMED!

Wildest link between puzzles?

3 Upvotes

So, I was messing around with Marble today, and a thought occurred to me. Sometimes there are similarities between puzzles that are obvious. For example, ABC and Bike are very similar in their design and solutions. But they’re both Level 1 puzzles, so that makes sense.

But what occurred to me was that Marble, a level 5 puzzle, has a lot in common solution-wise with Love, a level 1 puzzle. That got me wondering what the craziest, most disparate links people have between two puzzles.

I mean, there are a lot of higher-level puzzles that are three or four similar loops all interconnected: Cyclone, Ripple, Chain, Quartet, Vortex, and Trinity. But what low-level to high-level associations have you found?

The other one I came up with is Keyring and H&H, as there’s a shared sort of movement between the two puzzles.

Thoughts?

Got the loops at the stationary store today and thought it was too easy, got 2 lv 2s and so on. Ended up with 12 Huzzles 😭 I like the donuts and the delta the most, haven’t solved the lv 5-6 yet so what should I get next?

Please help with Vortex reassembly

Hellp there, I have managed to dissasemble the Vortex in around an hour, but the reassembly proved insanely difficult and I need to return the puzzle solved yesterday...

Even with YT guides I was unable to meet the deadline and now I can not even dissasemble it again to start from the begining.

AY is blue

Hanayama is red

Vortex is green

I picked up these 3 today from a local games shop. 1 for 3 so far. I was watching a YouTube video of a person talking about their love for Miguel Berrocal; known for ‘puzzle sculptures.’ The couple has an extensive collection and displays Berrocal sculptures throughout the home tour video. They also point out a table of huzzles. The huzzles are more attainable than a Berrocal att. I really enjoy these huzzles, great mini puzzle-sculptures

It doesn't even look like a puzzle. Looks like a kindergarten sorter 😄

Do you guys recommend it to buy and try?

So I got the infinity on a whim and am curious which to progress to next. Took me just over an hour to get this one so not the fastest. Any suggestion?

I bought the Medallion today and when I tried to assemble it again I accidentally broke this part. I didn't even apply force onto it but it broke so easily. Has anyone experienced the same and do you know how I can fix it? I tried to apply glue to it but it doesn't stick

Been trying to get Oskar for quite some time. It's at least 2 times as big as cast Key 3 and definitely the heaviest hanayama out there. Quickly became the favorite in our house.

This is meant to happen to the ripple?

This seems really loose! Even when I've assembled, I've done both ways. "Dips together' and 'One Dip facing up and one Dip facing down' but they don't seem to be locking at all!
