A good sequential discovery puzzle (a) is not obvious for the next step but (b) gives you a hint and (c) stumps you for a while and (d) has a unique solution whether in terms of design or implementation.

Nice description! Especially "b & c"!

I also admit that I like sequential discovery puzzles with false moves that feel like progress but lead you to resetting the puzzle :p.

And I consider it a major flaw when you can go the wrong way and permanently brick your puzzle.

I agree, but if you go wrong it, indeed, needs to lead you to the beginning or a step back. Otherwise they can be almost frustrating.

Plugged Well was my favorite until the Lotus arrived.

Hello everybody,
Did any of you bought the Ixia Box SD puzzle from Juno? If yes and if you solved it, what did you think of it?
