BepuzzledKeyhole Hanayama Metal Brainteaser Puzzle Mensa Rated Level 4, for Ages 12 and Up

The media could not be loaded.  I think we've all seen these and they look pretty simple and basic, no major twists, etc. But with this one it's different. I thought I had it figured out in my head before even trying to get it apart and then back together. I was wrong but happily so. It was just challenging enough while still being fun. It can trip you up if you overthink it, let the pieces be your guide. It's thinner than most Hanayama's but it's still very solid, high quality & expertly crafted. Great fun! Was a real joy to figure out unassembling and then reassembling. Perfect for puzzle lovers who like a challenge.

I did get it apart fiddling with it and occasionally thinking logically about it. Put it together 2x without a lot of thought. 3rd time it took longer. They way you start it (back together) means everything, so do what we should always do, note the position of the ring and bumps when you get it to the last step as it comes apart.Cause you'll need that to start the back together process. This is one of my favorites.

I ordered this for an adult as a Christmas stocking stuffer. He really enjoyed it and spent quite a few minutes at first trying to solve it, but soon figured it out. It was then passed around to the other people at our Christmas gathering and everyone had a good time. I will be looking for other puzzles from this manufacturer as it came nicely boxed and was well made.

This thing looks great. Very nicely made, quality material, etc.I’ve been on a kick with 4s lately, Cake, Cylinder, and I had moved onto U&U, which took me about a day or so. U&U is apparently on the same level as Mobius. Which I moved onto right after. Mobius took me all of about 20 minutes or less to disassemble and put back together. I’ve had more difficulty with level 3s, like the Galaxy (particularly putting it back together), and the O’Gear (another maze type puzzle). That being said, I would say this is more on par with most level 3 puzzles. There’s no trick, traps, or really anything that makes this puzzle more difficult than you’d expect. Can’t complain for the price certainly— especially considering the quality— but if you want a slightly more challenging level 4, I’d suggest something like Cylinder, Keyhole, or Coaster. Keyhole particularly if you want something maze-like that’s more complex than meets the eye.Overall, the Mobius is a neat, eloquent looking puzzle. The movements are quite nice and the quality is up there as far as Hanayamas go. Yet, it also has one of the most straightforward solutions of any Hanayama I’ve solved to date. An excellent piece for any Huzzle collector, but you’ll be sorely disappointed if you buy this expecting something as difficult as 4s like Cake or U&U.

Very entertaining puzzle, I bought it for a friend in my office and the first week it was there just about everyone that walked by his desk stopped to try to solve it for themselves. Once you figure out the trick to solving it you can get to the point where you can put it together in a few seconds but it takes awhile to memorize the pattern as it really only goes together one way. It's a great gift that provided a lot of entertainment for everyone on the team. We had only one rage quit out of about 15 people, so it seems to be an excellent difficulty level for a group of bored IT people. Someone else brought in the Enigma and Padlock puzzles from the same company but both of those proved to be so complex only one person could solve them without cheating and watching videos on how to do it. The general consensus was this one was much more fun because you can figure it out on your own if you play with it for awhile and watch the way the pieces move.

The Hanayama collection is absolutely terrific. I personally love the chunky, slightly larger-sized pieces. This one in particular was great fun. I buy these and give them to my grand children, but this is one I came back and ordered a second one for myself.

Cake is my favorite Hanayama puzzle so far, and I own 6 with another on the way. Everyone says "It's Pac-Man!" when they see it. Cake is very much like Pac-Man, because I was horrible at both. This puzzle is hard, and I'm ashamed to admit I googled the solution. I rate this puzzle 5 stars despite the shame I feel solving it. It's a beautiful design and looks great in my growing collection.My roommate is smarter than me, so I give him my Hanayama puzzles to get a different gauge on difficulty. He usually solves them in minutes which is infuriating. I admire that he hasn't googled the solution to Cake, but it's gone about a week unsolved. I kinda miss my puzzle, but it's in good hands.

This puzzle looks simple but is much harder than you may think. Half-way through the solution I kept second guessing myself if I was on the right path, as it seemed to get harder to solve the closer I was to solving it!It's a solid metal puzzle with some weight to it, and would make a good gift to both adults and kids (age 10+).

Buen producto y buenos materiales, entretenido y no es difícil de resolver.

Fue para regalar, pero me dicen que hasta la caja de empaque tiene su dificultad. El diseño es muy bonito, manejable, hasta decorativo. ¡Nos encantó!

A+

An sich is es ein cooles Knobelspiel, aber der 13 Jährige hat nur 6 Minuten gebraucht um das Rätsel zu lösen. Ok, das wieder zusammen stecken war tatsächlich fast schwerer :'DWir 4 Personen haben es in insgesamt 34 Minuten jeder einmal geschafft.Nun liegt es hier rum, weil natürlich die Neugierde und der Knobelspaß verflogen sind.Meiner Meinung nach ein recht teurer Spaß für ganz kurzes Gehirnjogging und einmalige Nutzung.

Its a Great Puzzle
