This floral take-apart puzzle was inspired by the shape of a morning glory. Two five-pointed blooms are riveted together and a silver helix-shaped ring is looped through both layers. By rotating the flowers and spinning the ring, it's quite easy to weave the pieces into different configurations. The movement is fun and satisfying, almost like a fidget toy. However, the ultimate goal is to separate the helix from the flower. A very tricky challenge indeed.

Natalie ★★★★★

The way the two five-pointed blooms rotate against each other is oddly meditative, and the silver helix ring adds just enough weight to make the whole thing feel substantial. I keep it on my desk and find myself fiddling with it during calls, which is exactly what I wanted.

Edward P. ★★★★★

The helix ring moves with a satisfying click as you twist the two blooms apart, and I caught myself solving it three times in a row just to feel that mechanism again. It’s compact enough to fidget with during meetings, and the morning glory shape makes it a nice desk piece when it’s not in my hands.

Aurora ★★★★★

The way the helix ring slides through both flower layers and locks them together is pure genius once you spot the rotation trick. I've already taken it apart and reassembled it five times just to feel that satisfying click again.
