The Year of the Puzzle
If you want a tough and time consuming trick puzzle, I strongly recommend either Bonnie and Clyde or English Garden.
Out of the teasers, Seeing Stars is challenging for a small puzzle - without getting into the realms of impossible. The problem is…
I just sat down with Elephant Show today and finished it in 15 minutes flat.
I think this will be a great puzzles for my kids when they're ready for it but entirely too easy for adults.
Now I'm REALLY looking forward to the challenge of Roo Romp &…
Central Park is a great puzzle! Highly recommended. Will give you a bit of a challenge and is probably a wee bit easier to solve than Bonnie and Clyde. The most difficult of the "Tile Puzzles" is Fred and Ginger which I am currently working on findi…
I haven't done the central park/city puzzle series.
Shooting from the hip, I would expect them to be mildly easier on the assumption that the frame does not have any tricks so that the "search"/"comprehension" of the trick task is easier. I find of…
Heart Of the Matter is a beautiful puzzle though. My husband bought this for me for Valentine's Day and I absolutely love it.
I think our next puzzle (besides another Circus Train car) is going to be Champ or Spinning a Tale. I made the "mistake" t…
Roo Romp will definitely live up to its Bolt rating and is worthy of all 4 Bolts. If you like it I will also recommend Crab Shack. Amazing Seal is about as challenging as Champ and is a similar trick. The only reason Champ is a fraction more difficu…
Heart of the Matter is a teaser, not a trick puzzle, so it shouldn't cause too much hair pulling.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing the time to complete the puzzles, if you want hair pulling pick up Bonnie & Clyde (http://www.stavepuzzles.com/store/produc…
I also came across the same issue with the Circus Train puzzles being too easy. I finished Dancing Dolphins in 10 minutes. We also have Lion Show and Elephant Show has just arrived today.
Tammy actually had a brilliant suggestion; take all of the c…
Actually, I think this is a great question! One thing I asked the nice folks at Stave early on in my collecting is how they came up with the value for the Prize Points. I was told Prize Points are awarded to the Buyer of a puzzle and are based on a…
Confirm, also as far as I know. Which isn't to say that at events they might not give out prize points or small tokens, but in general you need to do/buy the puzzle to get the points.
I did have one situation where I bought a puzzle for someone els…
Just a quick question....I know you get points for puzzles that you buy and complete, and then mail in the proof that you completed the puzzle properly. The question is....do you only get points for completing puzzles you own, or can you get points…
Hey Donna! If you like a challenge I would recommend Spinning A Tail. It took me four months to complete and I worked on it every night (about 15 minutes to an hour depending on my level of patience that day). Let us know which puzzle you ultimately…
Wow! The Chief himself! I am almost shocked by your generosity, expect that it is clear from the word go that Stave is a classy joint, and that I should really expect no less than stellar customer service.
Yes, I admit disappointment, but I bear re…
Hi Donna and welcome to Stave Puzzle Nuts! Our Chief Tormentor wants you to be challenged and has recommended a great puzzle for you to order as your next puzzle challenge (you will definitely be challenged by Amazing Seal). I don't work for Stave b…
Chief Tormentor here.... Lion Show is really a Trick puzzle sampler, a 'LITE' Trick puzzle. I admit it is a relatively easy puzzle. When I designed the Circus Train set I wanted to demonstrate a range of difficulty, Lion Show on the easy end. But I…
