Houdini's Torture Cell – Advanced Sequential Discovery Puzzle
Houdini's Torture Cell is a sequential discovery puzzle designed by Brian Young and produced by Puzzle Master. A metal ball takes the role of the escape artist, confined inside a transparent cell.
Free the ball by discovering the available tools and working out how they interact with the cell.

The maker specifies that force and banging are not required.
