At first glance, this unique spiral puzzle doesn’t seem unlockable. The five pieces, however, can most certainly be taken apart. Putting them back together, however, is a whole new problem in itself.

Our suggestion for solving this puzzle would be to not apply too much pressure. Solve it or not, the five pieces exude a kind of elegance, spiraling into a comfortable fit in the palm of your hand.

Designed by Kennet Walker for Hanayama of Japan.

Hannah ★★★★★

I figured the five pieces would slide apart in a minute and they didn't, which is exactly why I kept at it on my lunch break. Reassembling that spiral is a genuinely sneaky challenge, and I've made three coworkers try it with no luck yet.

Nicholas ★★★★★

Taking it apart was easy enough, but reassembling those five interlocking pieces had me genuinely stumped for a solid twenty minutes. That "unlockable" first impression is exactly what makes it so satisfying once it finally clicks together.

Madison ★★★★★

Putting the five pieces back together took me almost twenty minutes the first time, and I loved every frustrating second of it. Taking it apart is quick, but that reassembly is the real brainteaser here.
