5 – 6 years ago, I had the idea of wrapping gifts to friends in a box with a lock (or even multiple locks). I came up with some puzzles, inspired by typical escape room puzzles, and wrote a matching story. The box of gifts and the booklet of puzzles were completely themed. This was great fun to do, but it was also a lot of work. Both for myself and for the recipient; the solutions to my puzzles made sense to me but not always to anyone else. Fortunately, gift boxes are now available in stores with the same purpose, but better made. Such is the case with the Secret Box from EscapeWelt.
We have covered EscapeWelt’s products before. This company once started as an escape room the German Leipzig, but besides escape rooms at their own location, it also makes a lot of products for puzzle lovers to enjoy in the comfort of their own home.
Among other things, EscapeWelt makes challenging (jigsaw) puzzles and puzzle boxes made from laser-cut wood and even acrylic. They started producing their first puzzle boxes a few years ago and by now these challenging boxes are available almost worldwide in several languages.
From the well-known wooden puzzle boxes, they now also make construction kits. The wooden puzzle boxes are very suitable as gifts, partly because you can give the puzzle (after you have solved it yourself, of course) as a present with its contents! This way, you can hide little gifts or money in the boxes. If you want to give away a slightly larger gift, the Secret Box is perfect. In this envelope you will find a sturdy box that you can fold together, a lock to lock the box with, a manual for preparing puzzles and enough material to personalise the box.
With the help of the manual, you assemble the box and prepare the puzzles in no time. You can determine the numerical outcome yourself and then puzzle out the solution. This gives you a fun puzzle challenge too, and not just the recipient of the gift box. Put your gift in the box. Slide the puzzle sheets into the side. Put fun stickers on the box. Lock the box. Give the box away. The result? A gift for both the giver and the recipient you don’t want to escape from.
