Thought I would get everyone's opinion for a good travel puzzle. I will be traveling shortly and would like some sort of puzzle for the plane trip (nearly 24 hours in total on a plane). Being that I need to take it with me traveling it needs be smaller. I would guess that someone would suggest the Cast puzzles but I already have a few of those and would like something different.
I have found the Eni puzzle and the Tower of Babel/Babylon and the both look like they might be good travel puzzles. I think they might be a bit easy to solve once you have the hang of it but I guess almost any puzzle is after the Revomazes! Right now I am torn between the two. Anyone have either of these two puzzles?
Any thoughts and/or suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Good Travel Puzzle?
I only have the blue and green and I have opened them both already. That and I don't want to try to take them through TSA/customs.

Hadem, of the two puzzles you mentioned the Tower of Babylon is a better challenge since the beads need to be arranged by colour gradient as well as column. This would be a good travel puzzle choice and it is the best of these type of puzzles IMHO.

Check out 'Rush Hour' by Thinkfun. That should keep you amused for a plane journey. Plus you can get expansions for it too!

Re: Good Travel Puzzle?
I was leaning towards the Tower of Babylon for that exact reason. I guess there is an Eni puzzle that has numbers on the pieces but I can't find it for sale on any website. It looks like the Tower of Babylon moves a little nicer too. If anyone has an iPhone (or other iOS device) and you want to try a puzzle like this, check out Twistrix. It's free!mhuti wrote:Hadem, of the two puzzles you mentioned the Tower of Babylon is a better challenge since the beads need to be arranged by colour gradient as well as column.

Exactly. That and an airplane isn't a great spot for trying to precisely move the Revomaze. Bumps and whatnot make it pretty difficult to get around that corner slowly.Stigy wrote:Try reading this one y2k:y2khappens wrote:What's wrong with a revomaze?, too heavy?......obsession?

Re: Good Travel Puzzle?
Nice find! I have never bought anything off of eBay before. This might have to be my first purchase. Thanks for the link!
Edit: I bought the Tower Of Babel from PuzzleProz! Thanks again for the link!
