Category: Brainteasers

This pocket puzzle is a fun fidget toy that comes apart somewhat easily but requires considerable thought to reassemble. Inspired by the swirling shapes of the milky way, Galaxy can flex and flutter to create pleasing geometries as it rotates in three dimensions.

One specific configuration will allow you to separate the four pieces. But remember, the universe tends toward a state of chaos, hence Galaxy is much easier to take apart than it is to put back together. Before disassembling the puzzle, pay careful attention to the ways the circular arms fit in the cylindrical sleeves to create a flexible assembly.

A playful, attractive and challenging design from Bram Cohen from the United States.

James ★★★★★

The twisting motion is so smooth it feels like the thing is alive in my hand, and I love that I can take it apart in seconds but then spend a whole coffee break staring at the pieces trying to get them back together. It's the perfect little brain warm-up for between meetings.

Lily ★★★★★

I've had this on my desk for a week and can't stop fidgeting with it—the flex and flutter motion is oddly satisfying. It does come apart mid-thought sometimes, but figuring out how to snap it back together feels like a mini brain workout I actually look forward to.

Riley X. ★★★★★

The swirl pattern on the pieces is mesmerizing, almost like holding a tiny galaxy that you have to piece back together. Took me a solid 20 minutes to reassemble the first time, but the way it flexes and flutters in your hand makes the struggle totally worth it.
