Hanayama Copper Color Metal A.B.C. Cast Puzzle Level 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This one was kinda disappointing as it's very, very, very easy. It was fun but just too simple even though it's a level 1.

Hanayama USHY12 Radix Cast Metal Brain Teaser Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Look at the picture. Now look back at this review. Now back at the picture. This is a deeply complex puzzle, but it's just 3 pieces, and quite a bit of fun to play with. I still have no idea how it was designed. Won Puzzle of the Year, from the Nob Yoshigahara Puzzle Design Competition.

HANAYAMA CAST PUZZLE - MARBLE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm really not a good puzzle solver.
I think many of these puzzles are shooting for form over challenge.
I looked at the clock. 9:19 I started working on this. 9:20 I had 4 separate pieces in my hand.
Again, I think its going to take me longer to put it back together than it was to take apart.
I really was hoping for some frustration and challenge from these things.
This one is going to sit on my shelf. At least it looks interesting.

HANAYAMA CAST PUZZLE - KEY II Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This puzzle is not at all hard. I would say the average time for an adult to solve it would be 10-20 minutes. Anyway, this toy is very well done, durable and creative. Everyone likes it! One of the best if you are looking someting between levels 1-3.

BePuzzled Hanayama Cast Metal Brainteaser Puzzles - Hanayama Elk Puzzle (Level 6) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as a gift for a friend who collects Hanayama puzzles. It did not take as long for him to complete it as I would have hoped, although after hours of playing with it I could still not figure it out. It is a great quality toy, and although it can be a little frustrating, I believe it would be a good gift for almost anyone.

The antlers are the key to unlocking the mystery of this 19th century British conundrum. It was discovered in Britain by Nob Yoshigahara, who brought it across the Atlantic so that we could present it to you as a real puzzler's challenge.

HANAYAMA CAST PUZZLE - HELIX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a heavy metal puzzle, that looks just as gorgeous as the picture suggests.
This is a very hard puzzle, though. The object is to free the metal ring. It took me several hours to solve this one. Might be too hard for children. Still, it's gorgeous, so it's a good puzzle to have out on display.

Cast Puzzle- Disk (brain stimulator : Level 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The holes and rim pieces are of different sizes, so these two metal pieces are actually equivalent to a complex maze on a toroidal grid. A wonderful design by master puzzlemaker Oskar van Deventer.

BePuzzled Hanayama Cast Metal Brainteaser Puzzles - Hanayama Quartet Puzzle (Level 6) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as a present and was a little disappointed when he figured out how to take it apart within a half hour. :( However it seems he is having a little trouble putting it back together so I guess it was worth it. I'll definitely be purchasing Hanayama puzzles in the future, they are very durable and fun.

True bonds are hard to form, yet they are eternal. Inventor Mine Uyematsu has designed a cast puzzle whose bond is truly difficult to unravel. Consider how to go about forming and breaking such a bond. There are two approaches to this puzzle; are you good enough to find them both?

Cast Puzzle-SPIRAL (brain stimulator Level: 5) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was curious when I ordered this what the other side looked like. I looks just the same as the front. In fact it's just big fat solid puzzle pieces. Knowing that, this one can't be too hard, right? Well, it's not. Logic it through, and when logic fails assume there must be a twist. It is just that trait that I think makes a good puzzle. It lays everything out in front of you, and requires that you use reason skills to beat it. You work through that logic confident that following the obvious path will lead to the solution, only to find yourself at the end of your logic with nowhere else to go and seemingly nowhere closer to the solution.
I'm not disapointed by this puzzle because it has a satisfying feel, and is quite interesting and it at least took me to that point of desperation that any good puzzle must, if only for a moment. It has reasonable replay value, and I think it's harder to put back together than to take apart.
In all a very worthy and entertaining puzzle.

BePuzzled Hanayama Cast Metal Brainteaser Puzzles - Hanayama Ring Puzzle (Level 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered July 12,'11 w/ 2 day Prime promised. Confirmation says won't ship til Sept. 12th. Amazon has always been terrific with their service. Some of these third party sellers are quite lax, to say the least.

BePuzzled Hanayama Cast Metal Brainteaser Puzzles - Hanayama Nutcase Puzzle (Level 6) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband enjoy these brain metal puzzles to pass time every now and then, we ordered two puzzles but the nut/bolt one was more like a guessing game than anything else. We enjoy the ones you have to fidget with that are two, three or more pieces to intertwine, etc.

The nuts and bolts appearance may lull you into believing this to be a straightforward puzzle, but it is a total brain drain. Inventor Oskar van Deventer presents two challenges: 1) remove the small nuts by disassembling the nutcase, and 2) change the order of the wording on the bolts from nut-case to case-nut.

Ring - Cast Puzzle - Level 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a 30 year old guy, and I've always loved these kinds of puzzles. This one was actually a lot of fun, and the solution is simpler than you'd think. That's what's so hard about it. I actually spent about half an hour, while looking at the picture for reference, trying to get this back into one piece. I'm still having fun playing with it, watching how the pieces slide together... and of course, challenging my friends with it.
I just wish it was a bit larger. This is definitely too large to be classified as a ring, but it could be a bracelet for a young child or very small woman. I don't really have anything bad to say about this... I just don't think it's 5 stars worthy.

Hanayama USHY34 Loop Cast Metal Brain Teaser Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This beautifully crafted silver loop can cause some frustrated looks from your friends and family. A simple magnetic closure belies the complexity of re-joining the two halves.
When I received mine as a gift, the two little magnets were inserted with like poles facing. I coaxed one magnet out and was able to remount it so that the puzzle closed properly. After that, it was pure joy watching several people try to put the pieces back correctly while I teased them with the fact they were being stumped by a "Level 1" puzzle.
I've worn this as a necklace and it's nice when someone comments on it. A terrific conversation starter!

Hanayama USHY18 News Cast Metal Brain Teaser Puzzle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Serious puzzle fanatics will enjoy the challenges this puzzle provides, but for the rest of us, it's a flop. I solved it within a few hours, but the process of solving it wasn't fun -- at all. Usually a puzzle of this kind provides a unique combination of intellectual and tactile pleasure; you move pieces in ways that satisfy the hands and frustrate the mind. After you've solved it, your hands have the pleasure of going through those motions, again and again. There are puzzles I haven't touched in years, but I bet I could still solve them in the dark.
This puzzle does not move. The components are connected internally. It has no components to twist and turn. Once you've solved it, you won't get the satisfaction of having your hands learn to solve it by feel. That satisfaction is a TREMENDOUS part of why most people do puzzles. A dedicated puzzler might enjoy it anyway, but for anyone else I'd recommend any of the many puzzles that move this way and that.

BePuzzled Hanayama Cast Metal Brainteaser Puzzles - Hanayama Equa Puzzle (Level 5) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, this puzzle is a work of art. It looks awesome and is extremely well made. It's solid, polished metal and it's nice and heavy. A friend of mine had one and I was shocked to find out that the price was under $50. Brilliant, unique design. It's a refreshing change from the common loop-based puzzles. I've worked at it for at least 3 hours with no success...I can't comment on the how cool or cheap the solution is, but I can say that it is quite difficult. I'd strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, extremely challenging puzzle.

This sphere-shaped puzzle represents a planet and its surrounding ring. Positioned snugly inside the ring, the planet looks as if it cannot be removed. It may appear that all you can do is rotate it on its axis, but is that really the case? Hold this puzzle invented by Oskar van Deventer and have an intergalactic, mind-expanding challenge!

Cast Puzzle - QUARTET (brain stimulator Level:6) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This toy is very visually appealing. It is TOUGH. I usually tear though these types of things in less than an hour, I have been working on this one on and off for weeks now.
It did get stuck on me once and I had to work pretty hard to get it back to the original start position. This is a level 6 puzzle and it lives up to that.
My one and only complaint is the finish. It is NOT a durable finish and your edges are going to be worn quickly. Other than that - what a great, maddening buy!
