Visual Description
What can be more fun than give your friend a bottle of wine as a gift encased in an elaborate wooden puzzle that prevents the bottle to be opened and then observe the struggle of resolving the puzzle?
Of course, it is our favorite prank-like puzzle from SiamMandalay.
The puzzle is quite simple, but the idea is just awesome and will definitely bring you a lot of laughs no matter whether you are on giving or receiving side.
Main Features
This puzzle consists of 2 major parts: the bottle base holder that is connected to the wooden cap via strings and an additional string mechanism with wooden balls. The second one acts as an intricate lock that will prevent you from removing the bottle cap and taking that desired sip.
The string lock is not particular hard to untangle. Just a few moves and a bit of out-of the box thinking and you will get the desired treasure.
Conclusion
Interestingly enough, you can place almost any other bottles inside the puzzles and it will work just fine. You can even make it to be a party game. A cruel, but devilishly fun party game.
What would you place there? What’s your poison? Let us know your opinion on this puzzle.
