Cranium WOW - $24.95
•
Order Now
If you
thought Cranium was strictly for board game geeks,
better think again. Cranium Wow is a seriously hip
update of the world's greatest 'guess what I'm
thinking?' party game and it's cooler than a fridgeful
of frozen Fonzies!. Featuring 600 spanking new questions
across 15 sillier-than-ever activities, there's more
something-for-everyone fun than ever! And just like its
not-so-streetwise sibling, Cranium Wow gives everyone a
chance to shine - from aspiring actors and wordsmiths to
tunesmiths, wannabe artists and trivia bores. What's
more, a twelve-year-old could beat a thirty-something.
Which is really rather annoying. So we hear. |

Eternity II- $49.95
•
Order Now
Eternity is a mighty long time,
but it's probably how long the makers of Eternity II
hope it will take you to solve their fiendishly vexing
puzzle. Why? Well for starters this infuriating
geometric head-scratcher took yonks to design. Secondly
- and more importantly - the first person to solve it
wins $2 million. You heard, $2 million!.
If your eyeballs have just started spinning around, cash
register-styley, let's be sensible and put this into
perspective: Eternity II is stupidly difficult, nay
impossible, there are 256 pieces bordered by various
colored patterns which must be aligned across the whole
of the puzzle and…hang on a minute, forget perspective.
Let's look on the bright side - it could be you.
Mmm…money! |

Money Maze Puzzle Cube-
$9.95
•
Order Now
Money Maze is one of the most
infuriatingly addictive puzzles in history. Looking a
little like a transparent Borg starship (or, if you're
not a complete geek, a see-through cube), Money Maze is
a puzzle with a highly amusing twist. The idea is to put
money, tickets, gift vouchers or any other paper-based
present inside and laugh as recipients go nuts trying to
get at their gift. Hilarious!. It involves maneuvering a
steel ball through a labyrinthine maze by tilting the
cube. If you think that sounds easy, it's not. We've
seen grown men (ok, us) reduced to tears trying to open
this devious block - and there was only a buck inside.
Oh yes, did we mention you can put coins in there as
well? Actually, if it fits in the slot, you can put
whatever you like inside Money Maze. As long as the
recipient covets it, it's funny.

Dread Pirate Deluxe Edition-
$99.95
•
Order Now
Dread Pirate is a beautifully made
game that will transport you back to the golden days of
piracy and have you yo ho ho-ing the second you set
sail. Indeed, the attention to detail is so acute, you
can almost hear the clash of cutlasses, the discordant
drone of accordion-playing swabbies and the squawk of
circling seagulls as you work your way around the
gorgeously detailed cloth treasure map. As you've
probably guessed, the aim of the game is to become top
scallywag by amassing the greatest fortune and crushing
your enemies. But here's the good part: although you can
win by legitimate trading, you can also plunder booty
from rival sea dogs. It goes without saying we prefer
the latter cut-throat option, but whichever method you
choose you're guaranteed a right rollicking voyage.

20 Q - $12.95
•
Order Now
When someone claims they can read
minds, most rational people run a mile. When someone
claims they've got a ball of plastic that can read minds
it's usually time to call the men in white coats. But
that's exactly what the scientists behind 20Q announced
when they turned up clutching a prototype of this truly
astounding new gizmo.
We were skeptical (to put it mildly), but then we
witnessed 20Q in action. This totally mystifying ball of
circuitry left us flummoxed, flabbergasted and
scratching our heads in disbelief, as it can indeed
guess exactly what you're thinking. Basically, 20Q is an
electronic version of the traditional '20 questions'
guessing game that everyone has played at some point.
The difference is, 20Q nearly always guesses the correct
answer. Bewildering! And no, we don't know how it works.
It really is a mind blower, may the force be with you?
Have at it!

The Equation Puzzle- $29.95
•
Order Now
The what? The Equation, of course.
This maddening wooden puzzle is the successor to Da
Vinci's Secret and it's even more vexing than its
predecessor. Gorgeously crafted, The Equation is second
in the Sacred Myths and Legends series of puzzles, a
sequence of mind-manglers that must be solved
sequentially. Why? Because each puzzle contains clues,
hints and codes to help solve subsequent puzzles. In a
nutshell The Equation consists of a wooden frame within
which you must arrange various wooden pieces of
different shapes and sizes. Once you have solved the
puzzle you'll discover a hidden scroll containing clues
to the next puzzle in the series. And if you think that
sounds easy, think again. The Equation's design has been
influenced by the work of Galileo, Newton and Einstein.
Piece of cake, then. Not.

Ruk-Shuk- $24.95
•
Order Now
Stacking little rocks into various
formations sounds like the kind of thing a geography
teacher might do when he's not buffing up the elbow
patches on his tweed jacket. But as Ruk-Shuk proves,
it's actually one of the most excruciatingly addictive
challenges in the history of the universe. The idea is
to draw seven Game Rocks from the pouch then turn over a
Game Card to reveal a formation. Players then have just
sixty seconds to build as much of the formation as they
can, in order to score the highest points. If your
formation topples, you could end up with no points at
all.

Legend Of The King- $34.95
•
Order Now
Legend of the King is the third
installment in the Sacred Myths and Legends series of
puzzles, a sequence of increasingly vexing mind-manglers
that must be solved sequentially. Why? Because each one
contains clues, hints and codes to help solve subsequent
puzzles.
We realize that looking for a hidden scroll in a
medieval-style wooden tower sounds slightly geeky,
especially when the tower in question is steeped in
Arthurian gobblegook. But trust us, once you've fiddled
with Legend of the King for a few minutes you'll be
unable to put it down. The scroll is in there somewhere
- all you have to do is release it. Apparently this
beautifully crafted puzzle can be solved without any
hints at all, but its makers strongly advise you use the
fragments and clues acquired from previous puzzles in
the series. It's all very Da Vinci Code meets Indiana
Jones. Have Fun! |

Cathedral - $39.95
•
Order Now
This award-winning game of
competition and rivalry is a masterpiece of medieval
strategy. But how can a simple bunch of blocks and
buildings be so engrossing? Well, like all the classics
Cathedral is easy to learn but difficult to master, a
combination that makes it seriously addictive. In a
nutshell Cathedral challenges two players to place as
many buildings as possible within the walls of a
medieval city. There are two sets (light and dark) of
hardwood buildings of various sizes. To begin the game,
one player places the cathedral block on the grid of the
walled city/playing board. The two players then vie for
the remaining land. Your goal is to place your own
buildings while thwarting your opponent's land-grabbing
plans. Oh my! Good Luck. |

The NY Times Front Page Puzzles
don't depict any old front page. No siree, they depict
one from the date of your choice - from 1888 to the
present day. Whether it's Kennedy v Khrushchev,
Watergate or WW2, Apollo 11 or something incredibly
mundane, putting together old news is totally
fascinating. Individually created using high quality
reproductions of original archive newspapers, each 400
piece puzzle is as challenging as it is absorbing.
What's more, every piece is crafted in high-quality
1.5mm board, so the whole shebang fits together
beautifully like...well, like a jigsaw. An ideal
birthday, anniversary, whatever-date-you-fancy gift,
each puzzle is packaged in a smart presentation box with
a label that can be personalized. We'll even throw in a
full sized paper copy of your selected front page to
help you assemble your black and white masterpiece.

Champagne-
$21.95
•

Drinking wine is one of life's
greatest pleasures. Ergo, not being able to open the
bottle is one of life's greatest frustrations. So
imagine how exasperating it would be if you couldn't
even get at the actual bottle in the first place. At
first glance, these maddening contraptions appear easy
to solve. In fact, recipients may even giggle at your
thinly-veiled malevolence and applaud your twisted sense
of humor. But not for long. After a few failed attempts,
they'll be making faces worthy of The Hulk trying to do
a Rubik’s Cube. And, as full on dipsomania sets in,
they'll be begging for the solution. (Walking out at
this point is a seriously good joke).As well as being
fantastic party gifts, Don't Break the Bottle puzzles
are ideal for storing that special bottle of wine when
thirsty visitors call. They also make great dinner party
offerings, as hosts will be so flummoxed and amused
they'll probably overlook the fact that the brand you've
locked inside is actually Boone’s Farm. Best of all,
hosts won't know whether to thank you or throttle you,
making Don't Break the Bottle puzzles perfect gifts for
friends and enemies alike. (Wine and or champagne
bottle(s) not included). |
