Description
Hourglass – Expert Take Apart Puzzle
Hourglass is a cast-metal take-apart puzzle designed by JinHoo Ahn and produced by Hanayama. Four interlocking pieces, drawn from two different shapes, create a demanding spatial challenge.
Separate all four pieces, then rebuild the original arrangement. Carefully planned geometry makes the movement less straightforward than the small number of parts suggests, so understanding how the pieces interact matters as much as finding an opening.

Features:

Why You'll Enjoy It:
Hourglass is for experienced solvers who enjoy investigating tightly interlocked forms. Its limited set of pieces keeps the challenge focused while giving patient, methodical exploration plenty to work on.
