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.

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!
