There is a saying “All happy families are alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”. I know what happy families have in common – they solve the puzzles together. So here are The Top 5 Puzzles to Do Together on Thanksgiving Day while your uncle is telling his cringy jokes.
1. Wine Bottle Challenge Puzzle
- Level (Complexity): Medium (5)
- Brand: SiamMandalay
- Type: Wooden Puzzle
- Estimated time: 20-60 minutes
- Size: 4×4×6.25 in
Wine Bottle Challenge by SiamMandalay is a great thing to bring as a gift to any dinner. If you want some wine, you have to think deeply first. It’s a little sadistic, I know.
The wine bottle is trapped inside two wooden parts – a base and a cap. They are connected with a string that you need to unleash first. You can also put any other bottle there and repeat the action.
The puzzle is pretty easy to solve, even a child can do it. After turning 21, of course.

Combine Harvester by Ugears and the celebration of the fall harvest would be a perfect match. As well as kids and wooden model puzzles.
Children (well, adults too) will be particularly happy to assemble the wooden puzzle and then watch the mechanism of the combine in action.
As always, Ugears provide the detailed manual with pictures, warnings and tips in 14 languages. The manuals prove to be extremely easy to understand so don’t worry if you haven’t done such puzzles before.
Actually quite cool and unusual model for Ugears line up. With all the steampunk aesthetics it is a very down to earth yet incredibly detailed model that can be a nice toy for kids and adults alike.
