WOODEN.CITY Treasure Chest Puzzle Box for Adults, DIY Wooden Model Kit

This puzzle is perfect

Very nice puzzle, type of sequential discovery. It takes a good while to assemble, can be tedious, so give yourself some time to finish and try not to break the pieces from the templates, but very well thought out!

I would love to give this 5 stars. It is ingenious and complex. But there are a few issues. First, it took me nearly 4 hours to assemble, and some of the mechanisms required me to ask my wife to literally lend a hand to hold pieces in place while I got everything lined up just right and clicked together. Second, the story is a little difficult to interpret as far as how to connect it to the puzzle box. It definitely could be clearer. Third, the pictures and text are difficult to see. They are laser etched into the wood, and some of them are definitely easier to see than others. They should be in a bold font. Fourth, some of the mechanisms are very finicky. Even once you have the puzzles solved, things do not always lock/unlock as they should. The biggest problem is probably the puzzle on the top of the chest. Some circles are supposed to be in an up position and others in a down position. However, the circles will not stay up on their own. You either need three people working on it at the same time (which is very tricky given the small size), or you need to use something to help hold the circles in the up position (I used little balls of paper jammed under the circles). So, while I do recommend this for people who enjoy puzzles and escape rooms, just be forewarned that it could be frustrating for both the person assembling it, and the person trying to crack the puzzles and open it.

Epic! It was a lil hard to figure out but my genius arse hubby figured it right out. I love that it has multiple things you have to do to open it! And my husband LOVED building it! Super cool! Highly recommend

I was so excited to get this together. It took me about two weeks off and on to get just the first step done.. when I was finally ready to go another step to go faster, wow breaking the part of its board. One of the pieces broke then the tool to remove it broke. BEWARE !!! it says anytime there’s a missing piece or a broken piece. Call them and it’ll be shipped to you. The only problem is the shipping itself was $50 and that’s what I paid for the thing. Very upset. Do not recommend.

All the Wooden city puzzle boxes are a fun challenge to assemble. Great design and engineering.

I thought this was a really cool idea for my wife who loves escape rooms and puzzles. While it is nice looking in finished product, the actual puzzles only work somewhat. Also a very lackluster story with little to no connection to the puzzles other than it being pirates, and this a chest. The assembly took 4 hours, with a lot of tiny pieces. It was actually fun to put together, but definitely do it in a quiet environment because the pieces are small and there are very few replacement parts if something breaks or is lost. When it came time to give it to my wife, I read the story (took 30 seconds) and my started messing with it. Even in the instructions it's not clear on the order the puzzles are supposed to be solved, so she went for it. Due to some of the locking mechanisms not working properly, she was able to pull the sword free without actually doing the puzzle. We both looked at it afterword and aren't sure if ours was defective or what but the sliding mechanism just wouldn't function. She only had to figure out 2 more littlenpuzzles messing around with it for a second and she was done... 4 hours of assembly, for about 3 minutes of puzzle solving. She said she loved it and it was fun, but both of us definitely felt a bit let down. Summary - cute and fun idea that takes a very long time to assemble and is not an easy assembly, for a very minimal return on the fun at the end. Don't know if I can recommend this.

Bought as a gift for my husband. He loves it! He likes tinkering and really enjoyed putting this together. Then following the story to open it.

Great Puzzle took a bit to assemble but else it was fun

I got this for my friend and he loved it, it was tricky and it did take time (that’s the point) but enjoyed it.

Box arrived in a timely manner. Once I opened it I did find some of the pieces had separated from the stencil grids they come in so I had to be extremely careful during assembly to ensure the proper pieces went into their proper spots, It was fun to assemble and the concept is pretty cool. As for solving the escape room part it is not so difficult as I know all the tricks after assembling. 3 hours to assemble is fair. Think I am going to gift this with a surprise inside.

beau puzzle, le montage est bien montré par des images , le seul problème pour les réglages c'est en anglais et je ne le comprend pas !! domage Colis bien emballé, arrivé dans les temps imparti, super pour un cadeau je recommande.

J'avais lu des commentaires négatifs qui m'ont fait hésiter. Il est super! Bien présenté, les pièces sont aussi solides qu'avec les autres constructions en bois. Je n'ai cassé aucune pièces, je n'ai pas eu d'éclats dans les pièces, tous les systèmes fonctionnent avec facilité. Mais il faut savoir que j'ai mis beaucoup plus de temps qu'annoncé (mais j'aime, ce n'est pas une course et pour le prix j'adore être occupé!). Il est aussi très utile d'utiliser l'outil fourni pour détacher les pièces et de se donner le temps. Le mode d'emploi est clair mais il faut vraiment être vigilant car des pièces qui semblent identique peuvent avoir une très petite différence qui fera que le mécanisme marche ou pas... Le seul regret est qu'en le verrouillant on compfend comment l'ouvrir et aussi, petit bémol, les explications en anglais. Mais en conclusion, il est super, je le recommande si vous aimez faire des constructions 3D en bois.
