Monkey Mayhem is a delightful, colorful three sword puzzle. It's advertised at 75 pieces, mine came in at 81 of which about half are monkeys (yea! more fun trying to figure out the inside!!) Normally, I would start with the Stave clown -- not here…
When purchasing the puzzles on line, one of the last screens before you finalize your purchase (I think it's on the same screen as your credit card info) is a section for coupons. You would add the 30% coupon code in that section. Hopefully, that wo…

- When and where do you puzzle?
- After work, or in lieu of work on the weekends. So far I've worked puzzles on the dining room table, but the kittens "borrowed" one piece that they've decided to treasure. (Blaming someone else for a lost piece is okay, right?) I've taken some of the smaller puzzles to work and put them on my conference table as a nice break for me and staff (although I do get a tiny bit jealous if a piece is correctly added).
- What got you into Stave Puzzles?
- I needed something unique to attract my attention, and the 2008 American Express article was the muse to Stave.
- About me: Interests, fave books and music etc
- Walt Disney World, poker, Las Vegas.

Review: Monkey Mayhem
Monkey Mayhem is a delightful, colorful three sword puzzle. It's advertised at 75 pieces, mine came in at 81 of which about half are monkeys (yea! more fun trying to figure out the inside!!) Normally, I would start with the Stave clown -- not here though as our treacherous Chief Tormentor found a way to waylay those plans. So, off to route two trying to get my barrel well assembled.

Right now I'm working on creating TroubleMakers with a different type of piece shape... some curves... throwing you all some curves.. heh, heh. Cheers, Steve...aka Chief Tormentor

- Hi Marc. I clicked on the "Add Your Title Here" portion of the title, wrote in "Welcome PuzzleNuts!" And it appears to have taken. The network might have had problems last night. Try it again and if the issue persists, tell me what browser, version of it, and OS you're on. Then I'll contact Ning developers to look into it. We'll get it solved! Best, june
