Hanayama Cylinder

I absolutely love this mind game puzzle! It’s both challenging and engaging, keeping me entertained for hours. The design is clever, with intricate pieces that fit together perfectly, and the quality is outstanding. Each level of the puzzle offers a unique challenge, making it fun to solve progressively. I’ve found it to be a great way to unwind and exercise my brain at the same time. It’s perfect for both solo play and group challenges. If you enjoy puzzles that make you think outside the box, I highly recommend this one! It’s a fantastic addition to my collection.

The quality is great. Solid and heavy. Very ergonomic and relaxing I am considering getting g more of those

This puzzle toy is a challenge but in reverse. Yes, it takes a while to solve but it takes EONS to reassemble and for that I would grade it at a level 6 difficulty. But we survived and so will you. It is very well made and sturdy. Definitely of good quality. The directions were intentionally vague. We are already looking into purchasing our next one. This would make a great gift to either make or break someone's confidence.

My 13 year old grandson is usually a whiz with brain teasers but this was difficult for him. Well made though.

Nice design, as always, solid, heavy cast puzzle from Hanayama. Challenging, fun, frustrating, amusing. Makes a great fidget. Family vacation tested ages 9 - 80. Some solved, some didn't. Especially interesting how challenging it can be to get back together, even after having done it. (I think once mastered, it will remain relatively easy, but time will tell.) ____ Update: Once truly mastered, easy to take apart and put back together quickly. Admittedly found helpful videos online, wanting to be able to put it back together quickly so more children can use it. [Would be VERY hard to put back together, I think, if you had never taken it apart.] A number of students have now taken it apart. Many more have not, YET. Not sure if any have fully put it back together, yet. [Definitely harder to put back together than take apart. Can get it apart without realizing what was done. Typically is 1st time.] Puzzle is starting to show some wear in the finish. Does not at all impact puzzle movment nor solution. One of my favorites.

Purchase several different pocket puzzles for sons and nephews aged 13-19. These were all a hit. This puzzle has a nice weight, metal, durable, and keeps the teens occupied and focused on solving. This particular puzzle seemed to have a difficulty level perfect for the older teens. As with the other puzzles this is a handheld sized puzzle, easy to carry around. Great as a gift.

Gifted my father this who doesn’t like or want anything and loves building making things. He used it immediately and silently played with it. For perfectly in your hand easy to bring and perfect for grown ups and teens. Good material that doesn’t break quick.

This puzzled should be rated a 6. I love a good challenge. I grew a few more gray hairs with this puzzle. Extremely well made. I gave away the first one I brought after I tested it as a christmas gift to a teenager in my church. It's worth the money.
