In the maker's words

The puzzle box is 3” square, with two panels on each side. Outer panels can shift, but none of the inner pieces will move at first. All sides must be shifted correctly to solve the puzzle and remove the pair of panels. There is no obvious starting point, and if you move the wrong panels first, the box will lock. Even if you find the correct panels initially, you can still lock the box, but you won’t know this, because everything seems to be working! Can be opened in 13 steps but is extremely difficult to solve! Constructed of Birch Plywood. All pieces have been laser cut for assembly. Glue is NOT included. PLEASE NOTE: *Because assembly directions are very precise and depending upon the kit, may be lengthy, each will be sent via email separately from the product kit. Assembly will take some patience and attention to detail. Each kit has alignment pegs built into the parts to make assembly easier and virtually every part in the kit is labeled. Plans for the design of these boxes are copyright protected to Bruce Viney-TM.
