Great puzzle box. I hope Puzzle Potato continues making more. Looking forward to the Houdini puzzle box. This particular puzzle was entertaining. Had to write down notes to help figure out some parts. The last step I figured out in error but ended up resetting it and figuring out the logic. All around great puzzle and worth the money.

Had a great time figuring it out with my 11 year old son. My wife and daughter are going to "race" us and see if they can complete it faster than we did and then we will gift it to someone else to try. Great time spent and it's nice to not have a screen or controller in a child's hands for awhile :)

This was a gift for a guy who has never been challenged by a difficult puzzle until this one. Although it took less than a day to solve he gave it rave reviews and really enjoyed solving this puzzle box.

This puzzle is absolutely incredible. I saw Chris Ramsey's video solving this online, but wanted to try it for myself before seeing the answer. I bought the metal one and it seems to be of extremely high quality and has some weight to it. Philosopher's stone was a bit easier than expected (note the 3 out of 5 difficulty) but was still super fun. Might end up getting their other puzzle at some point as well. Highly recommend!

I purchased astronaut food and a prank golf ball for my 15 year old son, as stocking fillers for Christmas. Amazing. They arrived quick. Well packaged. And I know my son will love them. I hope I get to try some of the astronaut food. I have never seen that before. If not... I will be placing an order after Christmas for more. ...

Purchased two novelty miniature musical instrument desktop toys to take to work to amuse the office. Products are excellent and well packed for safe postage. CoolThings communicated the order and shipping details promptly, and items were sent and received quickly. Happy to recommend CoolThings and now that I know of them will likely purchase again....

My goods were exactly what I expected, I was told exactly where my parcel was and how long it would take to get to me. Everything was just so cool, as the name suggests. Love your stuff, it's so different....
