Bugs - Alexander Magyarics by Pelikan

Alexander is a brilliant puzzle designer and his creations are frequently realized in both wood and 3D printed as well.

I’m always amazed at how Jakub realizes puzzle designs in wood and this one is particularly clever.  

These sold out rather quickly at Pelikan but copies are still available at Puzzlemaster, I highly recommend you drop by and grab one.

“After receiving a bunch of beautiful puzzles, I had to start with the most striking puzzle of them all. Bugs! This puzzle is fabulously impressive – at 21 cm in each direction and 2 cm high, this design by the unbelievably prolific Alexander Magyarics would make a wonderful picture to mount on the wall of your puzzle room. In fact the guys at Pelikan have drilled a hole in the back for it to be wall mounted and also made an edge holding an acrylic cover which will prevent the pieces falling out when put on display. It’s a fun tray packing puzzle with a beautifully made wooden frame and 4 lovely mixed wood bug shapes to fit inside. The challenge is not enormously tough but using what looks like the “obvious” positioning won’t work because the blocks in the frame prevent insertion of what looks perfect outside the box. Therefore this puzzle forces you to actually think about all the ways that the pieces might fit together. Once solved, it is really lovely. This is a perfect decoration for anyone’s puzzle cave. Even Mrs S has agreed and I will be putting a screw in the wall very soon.”
