Apricot II

Should the east winds blow,

Carry to me the fragrance

Of apricot bloom;

And though your master is gone,

Never forget the springtime.

- Sugawara no Michizane

This puzzle is so good it will make you forget about 2020, for a little while. It’s a trip worth taking.

I’m flush with excitement about introducing this new designer to the world of puzzles and puzzle boxes. He’s got a pair, no, three of a kind of special puzzle design he invented during the quarantine downtime that are quite magical. Get them all and you’ll have a full house of clever items. Ok, let me get straight to the point here – these puzzles are aces.

Sea Chest

Neverfear! I’ve just the thing for you, my boisterous Buccaneers, a treasure chest plundered by the Corsairs straight from Davey Jones Locker. How they came to acquire it, we shall never know, as dead men tell no tales.
