This is The Small Cabin puzzle box. I’m very proud of this box. I really like the way it looks and how challenging it is to open. Maybe even too challenging… This box is extremely hard to open. You must be ready for a very hard challenge.
You can get this box and its building plan on my website, as well as multiple other boxes and building plans:

It’s hard to explain this puzzle without spoiling too much about it. It is a combination between a sequential discovery puzzle and a maze. When you look through the windows you can see a plexiglas maze which covers the entire living room of the puzzle. However, there is no ball inside the maze… There also isn’t any obvious lid to open the puzzle.
As I make all the puzzles on this website myself, the Cabin number on this box will correspond to the production number. So it will actually be your own unique small cabin!
When I design a new puzzle I try to keep in mind that the puzzle shouldn’t be too hard. I think someone should be able to solve a puzzle in under an hour. For this puzzle I completely failed. This puzzle is very hard to open. You could solve it in about 30 minutes if you’re very good with puzzles, or if you have luck at your side, but it could also take days.
This puzzle is 177 x 130 x 115 mm. The puzzle is a bit more heavy than you might expect. It weighs around 580 grams because there is a lot of wood and plexiglas on the inside.
If you’re planning to try this puzzle yourself you might consider to stop reading after this alinea. I’m not going to tell you how to open this puzzle, but I’m going to say a few things which might be considered tips. It’s up to you.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW!
When solving this puzzle you can seperate the maze into 3 parts. First comes a navigation part in which you will need to find out where you are, where you want to go and how to get there. The second part is more of a dexterity move. This second part gets me every time I try to open this box. Sometimes I do it in 20 seconds and other times…. Lets just say it can be frustrating. The last part of the maze is very straightforward. You just have to go from A to B.
Besides the maze there are also a few things you will have to discover about this box. For instance… what goes into the maze? There are also other things to discover. Where is the rest of the maze, and how can you see what’s happening?
If you manage to solve the maze and figure out how to open the box you will finally be able to get inside the cabin! But have you truly discovered all the secrets…
