This intriguing wooden cube is a modern update of traditional Japanese puzzle boxes. The Twelve Stripe Puzzle box features the same craftsmanship and exterior design as the Six Stripe Puzzle Box, but its solution is much more difficult to discern (meanwhile, it's not quite as difficult as the fiendishly complex Eighteen Stripe Puzzle Box).

The hidden chamber of the 3" cube measures approximately 1.5" on all sides. Pick something interesting to stash inside. Otherwise, your prize may be overshadowed by the beauty of the interior mechanisms. Designed by the Karakuri Creation Group.

Chloe ★★★★★

The twelve sliding stripes make the solve feel genuinely clever without being maddening. I've had it on my desk for a week and keep picking it up just to feel the wood and work the panels.

Leo ★★★★★

I bought this for my dad's birthday and he spent a solid hour on the sliding stripes before handing it back to me with a grin. The wood grain is genuinely pretty and the cube feels solid without being heavy. Still working out the last couple moves myself.

Eli Y. ★★★★★

The twelve sliding stripes make this way harder than my old six-stripe box, and I actually had to think about the sequence instead of just wiggling panels. The wood grain and fit of each piece feel genuinely well made for the price. Took me about twenty minutes to crack it the first time.
