Category: Brainteasers

The third edition of the wildly popular Cluebox was inspired by the fantastical imagination of Jules Verne. An escape room that fits in the palm of your hand, Cluebox 3 is an unsinkable challenge worthy of Captan Nemo himself. You'll have to crack codes and solve mysteries to unlock the secrets hidden within this brilliant wooden puzzle box.

Experts can solve this sequential discovery sequence in under an hour but even if you complete the puzzle in less than 90 minutes you should be proud. Constructed from 116 precisely designed birch wood pieces (more complex than any previous Cluebox), this ingeniously designed adventure is a testament to modern laser cutting technology. Once you've completed the experience, reset the pieces, and pass the puzzle on to a friend so they too can discover the treasure hidden within Captain Nemo's unsinkable box.

Joshua ★★★★★

I got completely stuck on the puzzle box for two evenings straight, and when the final compartment finally clicked open, I actually cheered out loud. Every step feels like a mini escape room, and the Jules Verne theme adds a nice layer of story to the solve.

Samuel ★★★★☆

The brass-plated compass wheel and sliding panels feel satisfyingly tactile, and the mechanical clicks when you solve a step are really rewarding. I’d say it’s easier than the earlier ones if you’ve done those, but still a solid hour of head-scratching fun on a rainy afternoon.

Jacob J. ★★★★☆

Took me three evenings to crack the Jules Verne-inspired puzzle, and the mechanical bits inside are satisfyingly intricate once you get past the first false lead. Only gripe is the wooden pieces could be sturdier for the price, but the challenge itself kept me hooked.
