Description
Elevator Box – Intermediate Trick Opening Puzzle Box
Elevator Box is a wooden drawer puzzle inspired by the movement of a video-game character travelling between elevators. Designed by Hiroshi Iwahara and produced by Karakuri Creation Group.
Your goal is to open the drawer completely. Reaching the halfway point is only part of the challenge: the surface pattern offers a clue to the rest of the opening.
Iwahara developed this design from his earlier Bean Bag Drawer, giving the larger box a visual hint that was absent from that predecessor.
