[@Mr.Puzzle]

What's your favorite Constantin puzzle? Comment below! ✌️😁

[@johnsellards3123]

Mr.Puzzle - Ehat’s a Constantin puzzle.

[@ericpetersen8155]

This one s great!

[@Meru0]

Mr.Puzzle Great!

[@Fiercesoulking]

wow this was simple

[@thnkhrder6266]

Very new to puzzle boxes and your page has been inspiring, did the bee box and was very disappointed when mine didn't "pop" when the balloon was stung rather just quietly deflated very underwhelming :(

[@rusticduckfurniture4744]

I legitimately don't know why I'm addicted to this channel - I have zero patience and not an ounce of problem solving skills - yet here I am - again 😂

[@KaseyWynne]

It's fun to watch someone solve a puzzle, especially when they're this charismatic. Plus, you know he'll almost certainly solve it by the end of the video, so there's no frustration in not knowing if you'll solve it.

[@rusticduckfurniture4744]

Charlotte Larson I think that's exactly it - for the most part there's a happy ending 😉😉

[@zappawoman5183]

Rustic Duck Furniture I think you've hit the nail on the head with the happy ending! I love his voice too. BTW, do you actually make furniture for ducks? Lol

[@rusticduckfurniture4744]

Zappa Woman 😂 not specifically but now you mention it 🤔🤔🤔

[@denniswhite166]

Charlotte Larson I'm the same :)

[@SgtSupaman]

From first glance I thought this would be another one of those 'hidden mechanism; smack a magnet out of place' type puzzles, but this one is actually cool. You can actually figure it out without having to guess some random positions.

[@davidbliss8352]

I love that you show the mechanism and how it works. Not all puzzle channels do that.

[@AlexGMason]

This puzzle would really be diffcult with a wood plate instead of the glass one.

[@Jay-qs2oi]

I really enjoyed the design and mechanism of this one. Ty Mr Puzzle

[@pepperonipizza8200]

Please stop. How can I keep my items safe if you keep telling the CIA how to open my boxes.

[@ulyxi.e]

Perfect_Poop I will look for you. I will find you. And I will open your boxes. ;)

[@fizixx]

Well, we just won't tell them they can just take the box and open it later at headquarters.

[@cameoshadowness7757]

Perfect_Poop Even if you don't tell them, they will find a way to open the boxes. Wither by figuring it out or brute forcing it.

[@smgergo]

One of the best channel, you got me and my gf at first glimpse! 😀 I never knew I'd be so interested in locks and puzzles as your videos made me. Sadly, always made me so curious that I hardly can avoid look into the solving(only at a few times) , before buying these cool and beautiful artworks. 😀 Good job!

[@theogkyat]

Love the way he say "Mr.Puzzle" :D

[@tagged123]

InFeRnuS it scares me a bit tbh

[@mbreiner08]

Makes me smile every! Single! Time! Love it

[@Varksterable]

Ditto "After the spoiler! alert". Lol.

[@nickc3627]

“Meestarrr puzzzzalee”

[@mZ10011997]

I love your videos to watch or to fall asleep to because you have such a relaxing voice, but you sounded so excited about this puzzle I couldn’t fall asleep. I just wanted to know more about this puzzle!

[@Th3Siam]

same, haha

[@JimSolvesEverything]

Puzzle boxes are great! It's wonderful when there is room inside for a gift! Thanks for sharing this one! I love the mechanism!

[@tareqalbeesh9788]

I finally found a youtuber solves puzzles and explains the mechanism in an interesting manner, Great job , keep it up ✌️✌️

[@kajraske2002]

I think this is the first one of your videos I've actually stopped before the spoiler break. Something about your intro sold me.

[@fireheartshadow]

I was super confused at first, you actually taking it apart and explaining what is going on really helped me out there! I just want to add that I love your channel, listening to you makes me super happy, since your enjoyment really comes through! The way you speak and gesture just shows how much you love puzzling! And that just fills me with joy. I personally love myself some mental puzzling, I didn‘t expect I‘d ever be interested in actual puzzels, nor that there‘d be any that would catch my interest. Oh boy was I wrong, your channel will and has already helped me explore how amazing the craftsmanship and dedication on these things are! Thank you so much for being such a great channel, while youtube is drowning in boring clickbait and challenges. Redescovering your channel after a while really made my day! Also I remeber your april fools joke with the giraffe puzzle, really loved the way you pulled it off! Personally, would you mind leaving information on how long the certain puzzles take you in the video description? Something along „This puzzle took me around 3 hours to complete“ so I could quickly check in case that I’d have missed it when you mentioned it. But of course only if you want to. More of a personal thing I‘d love to know. I‘d keep watching your videos without it too though^^ Much love and all the best wishes from a random swiss person from the internet! Edit: Is it weird to say that I like the way your hands look? I don‘t know, please just ignore this if it is 😂

[@cavemann_]

Nice puzzle Coolness rating 7/10 I love the fact you can actually unscrew and disassemble it

[@behel111]

I have this puzzle solved it before I watched solution. Took me two days it was my first one ever. Had a lot of fun if it wasn’t for your videos and Chris’ I wouldn’t have ever discovered this great hobby thanks so much

[@crooz13]

Thanks mr puzzle!

[@SeafoodKilla1]

Always an interesting insight as to how your problem solving skills work!!.. Thanks Mr. Puzzle!!!

[@katelikesrectangles]

What a lovely mechanism!

[@estellamoon8766]

Just reminds me of count olaf

[@tahirsutube]

Very clever puzzle!!!

[@reggiep75]

That was a nice multiple action locking mechanism and a nice expansion on the common locking mechanisms that often just requiring a single action.

[@machouchacha]

What a great explanation for this beautiful puzzle! Thank you! :)

[@CaptainHorn]

what a beautiful puzzle! Loved the video. i think i'll take a look at this for a Christmas gift.

[@zeroni13]

I understood the mechanism before you opened it actually, simple and elegant. Also love the design of the box, beautiful.

[@kerseykrewzoo]

This is such a cool and unique mechanism! Simple yet brilliant. I love it. It's giving me all kinds of cool ideas. Maybe I'll have to try my hand at making a puzzle... The guy who was making the playing card puzzles has been MIA since 2021 and it's 2024 now, which leaves an open niche in the materials department as well..🤔🤫

[@fizixx]

Very interesting puzzle! Thanks

[@annaruyer4681]

nice puzzle looks great, it is even a smart build.

[@NurturedCamerawork]

Lovely craft and idea

[@DoctaOsiris]

That's actually quite cool 😎 thanks 😊 👍

[@perkodanny]

This is neat because you could give this to a kid (or student) you're trying to help learn how to solve puzzles with 3 different difficulty ratings. You could lock the first ball and have them solve it. Then lock the second and third balls to give increased difficulty and progressively improve problem-solving skills.

[@denius.online]

Hahahaha...giving this puzzle as the box of wedding gift...truly mr. Puzzle way of life huh.

[@reelfishing002]

I like how you can take it apart and explain how the mechanism work

[@Mr.Unacceptable]

Good box to keep around for children that ask for candy. If they get it open they can have all the candy inside.

[@Slimd613]

Mr. Puzzle have you thought about making a puzzle or designing a puzzle and working with constatin to make a new puzzle. p.s. I need help to solve my hanayama cylinder puzzle can you help. please. :)

[@Th3Siam]

i always watch a mr puzzle video to help me get sleepy, these nice relaxing videos, :D

[@lindas1st]

Very kool, thanx for the explanation at the end, it really helps understand what's going on.

[@loleq2137]

Watching you solve these puzzles is relaxing for me

[@davidharasymowicz8707]

I really like these videos

I would love to see your solution to the Rubik's cube. I have never seen you do anything even closely resembling that.

[@ToNzHoLtZ]

Thank you for sharing , I love puzzles . I may try and make a puzzle similar to this out of some different types of wood but different designs....very cool , would make beautiful gifts ...

[@MrBobWareham]

Thank you for your video

[@grugbob]

Amazing design and amazing video!

[@JeremySeifert]

I love this. I may have to pick this one up. That solution really appeals to me.

[@malwarepuzzles5653]

Nice puzzle!

[@MasterMindmars]

I love this mechanism. I think this could be harder.

[@mortymcfry7944]

Great video thanks I'm a big fan

[@CallieMasters5000]

This box is a great place to put the emergency medicine of somebody you don't like much!

[@marcopederzoli4939]

Or a life saving medicine for a victim in a Saw movie

[@cutesalem394]

Marco Pederzoli 😂😂😂😂

[@skakdosmer]

If you really did that, Callie Masters, it would murder or attempted murder. Something you should never joke about. But i once gave a nice sum of money as a present for my then 14 year old nephew - hidden inside a trick box. He didn't find it funny, though.

[@fizixx]

'Places box on floor....STOMP.....gets medicine' :)

[@lil1jojoxd721]

fizixx you have to put your dashes or sum around what your doing like this -wiggles my balls- or else ur just saying something

[@Eseres80]

What a nice present to drive your innocent friend completely crazy with, hahaha! Especially if you tell him/her that there is money inside LOL! Pretty clever design though!

[@chrishyde5903]

GREAT PUZZLE MR. PUZZLE

[@theswissvaper]

Awesome..... DUDE you infected me.... Abgefahrn.... Du hast mich angesteckt... Grüsse aus dem Appenzellerland..... Schweiz halt.....

[@Marc_Nordic]

Wenn da steht "unmöglich" und es ist ein Beitrag von Mr.Puzzles - dann ist das ein "must watch" für mich :)

[@hempev]

Not complex, but elegant.

[@johnlambet9406]

Explaination is great

[@karandeepsingh566]

i don't know why there are dislikers ...but you are awesome 'MR PUZZEL'

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks! :)

[@nikomollov4950]

any video on YT has dislikes. Here are only 18, which is nothing.

[@karandeepsingh566]

welcome...

[@erwinsavilla4579]

great!

[@sapphirelight748]

500K subscribers and still growing!! Told ya. Lol you totally owe me a hanayama. Regarding this puzzle: Constantin has some pretty decent craftsmanship. Thank you for showing how to reassemble the puzzle box. Im the type that would never be able to use it again because it would be sheer dumb luck if i was able to open it to begin with. And then it would be stuck open 😂😂

[@magicalrobster]

I'm digging the new background music

[@michaelkyth5226]

Difficulty 3/5 - plot twist- impossible to solve😂

[@motivacionepica1960]

Mr.Puzzle is the man

[@imrant2530]

Awesome puzzle 👍

[@nannz.7266]

Cooollllest nice time killer.

[@itsryuukisan]

I love these magic puzzle boxes please make more videos about it :-)

[@Kareemer]

Awesome

[@Deadlyaztec27]

This thing is beautiful.

[@Leprachaun31]

I subscribed, Very good channel for puzzles 👍

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks! 😁

[@puspejchari8805]

Please show more wooden box puzzles

[@pirobot668beta]

Aww, I was hoping it was a spin-free lock. Bearings in the lock are normally in center-ish, not letting anything happen. By spinning the device, the bearings are flung to the ends of the gizmo, either engaging with an un-locker mecahnism or simply getting out of the way of the moving parts. The bearing-track is designed where tilting the thing engages only one bearing at a time; spinning moves them both.

[@skyym3629]

The real puzzle lies within that game you call "The Oval Office". That game is showing the blind and deaf, how we got into the position we are at now. Hint, that game resembles a "Vesica Piscis" which is considered apart of the sacred geometry and has many meanings to its shape and form. Look beyond the simple game or puzzle that was created and search the true meaning and what is being hidden from all of mankind, accept the elite and/or the rulers of our world. God Bless and thanks for the video.

[@johnrichardson85]

I want to see a puzzle built by Mr. Puzzle!

[@puspejchari8805]

Very amazing wooden puzzle

[@dantheveganman]

neat mechanism

[@mojosbigsticks]

Wow!

[@mr.tandhiswaytobe8023]

I love das mr puzzle he is wunderbar

[@khalilrazak6486]

This was quite a easy puzzle.

[@drmgiverdrmgiver5335]

That is really awesome

[@jiggawatt_tv6257]

I like how little parts there are.

[@abhiisheksingh]

talent and ability huge success.

[@biesmusik]

this is good stuff

[@BradCozine]

Mr.Puzzle, Would you have rated it higher if the acrylic disk was not clear and the hole was hidden?

[@helpmeee410]

Can you try the excalibur puzzle?? pls

[@ahitler5592]

can you solve the Lemarchand's box puzzle?

[@lisastarves5543]

I like that spider box.. im going to buy it.. its cool box..

[@carpediem8314]

This would make a great prop for the Series of Unfortunate Events universe.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

What’s funny is that I just found a BEERing ball while I was at work today and instantly of how you say it, what a coincidence that you upload a video with a puzzle containing them on the same day :p

[@denniswhite166]

I like watching your videos. If my father were alive he would too but he would love to try and solve these puzzles whereas I don't have the patience. - LOL

[@thetntraider]

The shape of the puzzle looks perfect to hold an Ioun Stone for a D&D puzzle.

[@kirosun]

I like this one

[@endrestory4345]

real Nice

[@yggdrasil7942]

ball bearing not bearing ball.

[@LodanSD]

Unfortunately, there is an Oval Office Puzzle Box on Amazon from a company called Bits and Pieces that looks almost identical to this box aside from the top and mechanism to open it. So watch out for that one.

[@Shinkus]

I wish you would use a scale of ten for the puzzle difficulties, I feel like one puzzle getting a 3 isn't always the same as another puzzle rated a 3

[@ulyxi.e]

shinkus82 i agree

[@Varksterable]

Problem is, though, any scale is completely subjective. What someone can do in 30 seconds may take someone else with completely different background/experience etc. hours. So trying to be more fine-grained with the scores is largely pointless. It can only ever be a *very* rough guide. I'd rather see a scale of 'it took me this long [time] to solve it.' Because then at least you can do some conversions yourself. i.e. I know my times at disassembly puzzles are [fraction] of Mr Puzzle times, so I can get a rough time I'd take. Or at least compare relative to other puzzles of similar types. Even then it'd still only be a very rough guide. Currently, this is mostly moot for me. I'm largely buying puzzles (thanks to this channel getting me hooked) based on the cleverness and aesthetics of them. But there will come a time where value for money becomes a factor too. So it'd be nice to have the solve times as a regular feature too, rather than something that's mentioned only occasionally.

[@otakuribo]

My God, that's a clever mechanism...

[@themaximus144]

This would be a cool gift to put something small in, like a few bucks, or a DS game, or a pack of trading cards or something, and then tell the receiver of the gift they only get the present if they can figure out how to open it.

[@ligiabonfanti3493]

Brendan Bush or if the smash it.

[@bhavyaramakrishnan801]

Is there a way to design the mechanism without the storage hole?

[@skakdosmer]

Very nice. Now, I have heard of bearing balls. But what are those beering balls you mention all the time?

[@TriangelProduction]

This i call a inovative puuzle box ⭐

[@MmeAdmin]

I think puzzle makers and lock companies should get hand in hand to make an affordable waded lock that is easy to mass produce but nearly impossible to pick. Much like the bowley lock, the driver pins are almost impossible to access without the actual key. Yet the price on it is very steep. Maybe it is just competition not being present. The same principle goes for the forever locks that probably can only be impressioned when they are made correctly. Yet these systems are far from economical.

[@StefanReich]

I'm scrolling down and I'm not finding any Oral Office jokes.

[@malibooo]

This is like the perfect fine jewelry box lol
