This three-piece puzzle looks like a set of antique skeleton keys that have been locked together. Your challenge, of course, is to unlock the pieces and take the whole assembly apart. Finding the solution to this puzzle is enjoyable but extremely difficult. If you manage to accomplish the formidable task of separating the pieces, you may be interested to know that there are at least three different ways of putting them back together. Designed by Kyoo Wong of Hong Kong. Manufactured by Hanayama of Japan.

I expected the skeleton key look to be mostly decorative, but the three pieces fit together way tighter than I figured. Took me almost twenty minutes to find how they unlock, and even after I knew the trick it still felt good taking it apart.

I handed this to my brother thinking he'd crack it in five minutes and he sat there for half an hour before I finally took it back. The trick is realizing those three skeleton keys don't all rotate the same direction, and once you feel that little give on the middle one it comes apart. Genuinely stu

Hannah ★★★★★

The three keys look almost identical at first glance, which is what makes it so sneaky. It took me about fifteen minutes of twisting before the first piece finally slid free. Nice weight to the metal too, feels like it'll survive plenty of frustrated guests.
