History & Trivia
The Trick Bolt series is crafted by Wil Strijbos, a renowned designer in the mechanical puzzle world. Strijbos is known for his intricate, elegant designs that often challenge players' assumptions about everyday objects. His designs often focus on mechanical ingenuity, and his bolts and locks have become iconic in the puzzle community. The Trick Bolt puzzles are no exception, combining both craftsmanship and a rewarding solving experience. A set of classic mechanical puzzles designed to puzzle enthusiasts worldwide. Each bolt features a unique mechanism, offering varied difficulty levels and problem-solving approaches. These puzzles rely on precision engineering to obscure the true mechanism, making each puzzle look deceptively simple but highly engaging to solve. The design was likely inspired by traditional mechanical puzzles where appearance and function are at odds—what seems obvious is far from the solution. The Trick Bolt puzzles require dexterity, patience, and creative thinking.
The Trick Bolt #1 is made from brass which gives it this aged look. It feels heavy and sturdy, but no extra force or tools are necessary to solve it. The goal is to simply remove the nut from the bolt and be able to remove the ring as well, but the solution is not that simple. Appearances can be deceiving and you’ll understand this once you finally see its mechanism. This puzzle is produced by PuzzleMaster shop in Canada. (PuzzleMaster)
