Why You'll Enjoy It:

Created by PuzzledByPiker, Free the Two elevates the “Free the #” series with higher-quality 3D printing, allowing bolder mechanics. As the designer notes, it demands "a little thinking, a little dexterity, and a little magic" to free the coins, with visible slots misleading solvers into underestimating the puzzle. The reset, straightforward once solved, adds replay value. At 12.5 cm square and over 1.5 lbs, it's a substantial, hand-assembled piece with minor imperfections adding character. Perfect for fans of mechanical coin puzzles seeking a step-up challenge.
