Description
Karakuri Skyscrapers – Intermediate Trick Opening Puzzle Box
Karakuri Skyscrapers is an architectural puzzle box with five adjustable-height buildings standing above a concealed drawer. Designed by Osamu Kasho and produced by Karakuri Creation Group.
Study the buildings and the top-board pattern to work out how to open the drawer. The maker's description points to perspective as an important part of the challenge, without reducing it to a single obvious viewpoint.
This OS-19-2 remake changes the drawer-knob design while retaining the mechanism of the original OS-19.
