Craighill Venn Puzzle - Brain Teaser Puzzle, 3D Brain Game, Mind-Bending & Satisfying, Aesthetic Home & Office Decor - Stainless Steel

This is a very well made and machined tactile puzzle. It is remarkably simple, yet tricky to put together. Some people may be driven to distraction when assembling it! I advised my giftee not to open it until after the party, and that was a good move. Absolutely beautiful. One negative: This is an executive-level gift...that arrives in a white cardboard tube with a barcode sticker on it. The packaging is not attractive in the least, plus it is remarkably difficult to make your packaging for a dense metal ball.

I absolutely love this puzzle because of how smooth and well it goes together. Saw it on Chris Ramsay’s YouTube page and he’s right, it’s the most satisfying puzzle I’ve done. Easy to do once you get the hang of it, but that final slide to back together just feels and sounds so cool.

Absolutely love this puzzle! The quality is amazing! The solution is not difficult but requires much dexterity! The solution is Very satisfying!!! Yes, about the price! Well, I prefer quality over cheap price in many cases and this one is justified for me! There are cheaper and similar puzzles out there, like slideways, if you can’t spend the extra $$! But for me, I’m a collector and quality always trumps price!

This puzzle has nearly everything. It's weighty, good looking, tricky, and fun. It even comes with a little ring stand. HOWEVER. This is not a puzzle for those with short attention, or lack of finger dexterity. You will really see the answer before you can solve it. That's all I will say on the solution. My 2 biggest issues with the item were that the packaging will become damaged after you open it. It's very nicely packed in a short tube box, and the outside is black flock with silver inlaid lettering, but they put super sticky tape all over it, and so the package gets peeled by the tape. Lastly, the surface of the sphere is a bit dull, or matte. Might have been cooler with a shinier look. Still they may have thought it would get dull and oily if you made it like that. I take care of my puzzles, so I would have preferred a mirror finish. Aside from those paltry issues, this is a great piece for your puzzle collection.

Incredibly frustrating to solve but equally satisfying when you do.

Nice puzzle. I got several of them as gifts and they were a hit. High quality and makes a good desktop item.

Much more simple than was described. Only took the gift recipient about a minute and a half to self.

Its basically a cue ball of solid stainless steel that can be taken apart. The puzzle is not very difficult. It just takes some attention to get the parts lined up just right. Pro's: Feels good in the hand. Fun to show off. People are drawn to see what it is, and few of them are prepared for the weight when they pick it up. A fun desk piece. Con's: The finish is lack-luster. When you pay a premium price for an item, it should have premium attention paid to the finish detail. I took the time to fine sand and polish mine which came out much better than the original brushed finish. Now it really turns heads. Overall, I like it and I am glad that I have it.
