Thanks, Cz. In your opinion, is it worth it? Or is it just another variation on the Isis Orb by sonic games?

I actually the know the person selling this puzzle on eBay. He was extremely pleased with this puzzle and really dislikes the Isis puzzle series... he's actually the guy that convinced me to sell my Devil and Matte Finish Isis.

The Pyro puzzle is wayyyyyy better than the Isis Adventure Series. I hope someone else here can vouch for me. The seller is very accurate in his descriptions as well. Disclosure: I talk to him almost everyday... I collect padlocks and puzzles and he collects old instrumentation and puzzles.... we go back and forth on different pieces and talk about what puzzles are worth it and what arent.

If I had more money I would have bought this puzzle off him. He sold me a giant padlock bigger than a football.

I don't know if I can agree that it is way better. It is almost the same thing with clues that you have to decrypt. Some steps in the solution are very strange as for the Isis orb but I think it is a fantastic puzzle. You can solve it by luck if you just move around but if you try to understand the puzzle then you find it to be very clever and very funny to solve. It isn't an easy puzzle to understand but if you like the Isis, Ramisis and the Loki puzzles you will enjoy the Fire puzzle.

Thanks.

I found the ISIS orb to be a tough puzzle (being it my first) until I found the 'secret clue' and then it was an easy puzzle that cost a lot of money. :(

Is Pyro Puzzles even a business any more? Their website has not had a change since 2016, and my emails have gone unanswered.

Stephen (the guy behind Pyro Puzzles) does have other designs for the series, and last I spoke to him he had one in the prototype stage. His time is however currently being taken up by another -quite significant- puzzle project, so I assume it may have been put on the back burner for the time being.
