This intriguing wooden cube is a modern update of traditional Japanese puzzle boxes. The Twelve Stripe Puzzle box features the same craftsmanship and exterior design as the Six Stripe Puzzle Box, but its solution is much more difficult to discern (meanwhile, it's not quite as difficult as the fiendishly complex Eighteen Stripe Puzzle Box).

The hidden chamber of the 3" cube measures approximately 1.5" on all sides. Pick something interesting to stash inside. Otherwise, your prize may be overshadowed by the beauty of the interior mechanisms. Designed by the Karakuri Creation Group.

Victoria ★★★★★

I’ve spent hours trying to crack this and the hidden mechanism still manages to surprise me—the outside looks simple but the way those stripes align to unlock it is genuinely clever. The wood feels smooth and sturdy in my hands, like it’ll last through hundreds more attempts.

Brian ★★★★★

The sliding panels move so precisely that every click feels deliberate, which made the final reveal genuinely satisfying. I've already put it on my coffee table and watched two friends get completely hooked trying to crack it.

Emma E. ★★★★★

The sliding panels click into place with such satisfying precision—you can feel the craftsmanship in every stripe. I’ve already solved it three times and still find myself picking it up just to run my fingers along the wood grain.
