Can you separate the 2 pieces? They seem to be hopelessly locked together... but of course it can be done. A fun puzzle that is quite easy when you know what to do, but few find the solution quickly. Woods used are 1/4" thick hardwood nicely finished. Model shown uses cherry and maple, but we may vary woods that could include walnut, maple, oak, cherry, or ash.


The bowling ball measures about 2" Dia and the pins are about 3 3/4" long. We make a few other models of this same puzzle where the shapes will vary. there is a standard model (rectangular blocks), one with a cat and dog, and another with a wine bottle and block of cheese. These are available on separate listings



We can also do specials for larger orders where we make custom shapes of the blocks to fit the theme of your event or company promotion.

James E. ★★★★★

Bought a handful for a holiday party and they kept a few adults busy way longer than I expected. The two pieces really do look permanently locked together until you find the trick. Fun little pocket puzzle for the price.

Daniel K. ★★★★★

I handed these out at my son's birthday and the adults ended up hogging them more than the kids. The two pieces really do look hopelessly locked together until you figure out the trick, and even then it takes a few tries. Simple little thing but it kept everyone busy way longer than I expected.

Ruby ★★★★★

Got a handful of these as party favors for my son's birthday and the kids kept passing them around trying to pull the two pieces apart. It's genuinely easy once you know the trick, but watching everyone struggle first was half the fun. Way better than a bag of candy nobody remembers.
