Hanayama USHY19 Chain Cast Metal Brain Teaser Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm curious if it was just mine, or if they are all this way. I find the one I have to be quite difficult to manipulate through its intended movements. Even now having solved it dozens of times with no questions remaining on how to solve it, I still find it can be difficult to solve because the pieces get stuck and won't move as they need to. I find I have to shake it constantly to get things to find their only possible path past one another, yet its shape makes it somewhat difficuilt to hang onto as i shake it. Before I knew the solution, this limitation was a major obstacle to me solving the puzzle and a source of considerable frustration. I found myself hesitating to try a move because of the anxiety of how much trouble it would be to get it back to where it was.
I say all that not to warn you away from this excellent puzzle but to give you confidence to push on and that you are likely on the right path.
The frustration factor aside, this remains one of my favorite puzzles. It's movements are so interesting and satisfying that I find myself going back to it time and again just to get the satisfaction of manipulating and solving it. It is a great puzzle.
The internet is great for many things, but please don't cheat yourself when it comes to solving these puzzles. Push through it and gain the reward that comes with having solved a challenge on your own
