Equal7A dicey delight

Equal7 is a mathematical masterpiece with multiple

tasks in different difficulty levels. Pick up the cube and

tip and tilt it. Slide the dice in a way so all the dots on

Now stand the cube on its build-in feet, so you can

show off your achievement!

Flip tiles up or down to make no fewer than seven cubic shapes.

The first few shapes might seem easy to craft but the

challenge is to put your 3D vision to the

test and find all seven shapes.

to recreate the original jewel in its full, spherical shape. Keep building

the jewel up by wrapping the gemstone string around until you have

the complete jewel.

2019 Gear Ball

Puzzle of the century

The amazing Gear Ball has been the absolute best

seller in the USA last year. It’s a remarkable piece of

‘puzzle art’; a combination of intriguing construc-

tion, great playing value and unbelievable smooth

movement.

Gear CubeGet in full gear

The Gear Cube is a brand new concept in cube

design and has the following inventive steps.

Using a full gear mechanism that requires

twelve 90° turns to complete one rotation.

A brilliant design!

the eight meshing gears simply serves as a mesmerizing display.

The moment one discovers that the core can be pulled apart the

difficulty skyrockets, what was once an inevitability

now truly becomes a challenge of logic!
