Inspired by ancient designs forged by blacksmiths, this iron puzzle series takes some conquering. Apprentice blacksmiths were often set the task of making puzzles to learn the intricacies of their trade, and here are four of the very best designs from over the centuries.

They may have a simple medieval appearance, reminiscent of a time before confusing technology and baffling instruction leaflets, but there is nothing straightforward about these four weighty problems. Supplied in beautifully crafted wooden boxes they are a great series to collect.




Like The Trap (although perhaps slightly easier), this puzzle has a simple solution that is seemingly impossible to find. After having exhausted what seems like all your options The Whale is likely to remain very much 'harpooned'! As with whaling, patience and nerve are required in abundance to solve this puzzle. NOTE: No whales were harmed during the design of this product.


A unique design with a simple solution that is seemingly totally impossible to find. After spending literally months puzzling over this one, your jaw might quite literally hit the floor when you see how outrageously straight forward the one move solution actually is... and before you ask... 'Yes, it can be solved, you just haven't solved it yet...!'

A number of moves are required before the ring will come free from The Skelter. None are too difficult on their own, but understanding the sequence is not easily done. Solving this puzzle once is very different from understanding how to remove and replace the ring correctly again. With The Skelter, you can be in for quite a ride!

A very popular and well known puzzle (if you happen to be a puzzle buff!). Why is it a classic? 'Cos it's such an elegant design! Simple yet complicated in just the right measure. A 'must have' for any collector.
