I really like the Plugged Well. Took me a long time to open,.....

I like the fact it is real straight forward puzzle. No real luck involved and you can really think about how it works. Also funny/stupid; Two weeks ago I had some people over and while I was talking I reseted the puzzle, but put the draw in the wrong way,...... Not a big issue, just had to fabric a small tool to re-open it. Well at least my visitors had a good laugh about it and of-course I did as well. :D


The Washington monument is also a nice puzzle, but to be honest I don't like it that much. I opened it very quickly, but not in the 'correct' way. I know I wasn't the only one. Still a very nice puzzle, but the Plugged Well is in a different league.

On another note when I received both together with the Telephone booth I also got a nice puzzle for free. The SEARious Burr 13 piece burr with secret lock!! :)
I even prefer this puzzle above the Washington monument.

My plugged well broke After the first time I re-assembled it. It was a cool puzzle, but part of it is fragile. I don't know if parts swelled up or what but even without the broken part, part of it won't close.

Thanks! Im really excited for this one. And im really curious because of these two puzzles. Lotus looks like a great puzzle, with more than a great price. In the lotus it seems to have 2 times more shiny metal than in the isis , at 50% of the price! Personally at first glance i thought its something very expensive , 250 USD or so. WRONG! its only ~ 115! A great price.
Im looking forward to recieve my oil well :lol: i hope it wont take me too fast to solve!

If you are looking for a heavy duty SD puzzle that won't break easily and won't break the bank, go for the First Box. Built like a tank!
