L'Escargot - A Snail-Shaped Burr Puzzle
Marvel at the charm of L'Escargot, a beautifully crafted animal-shaped burr puzzle designed by Jorgos Anastasou and produced by Pelikan Puzzles. This snail-inspired puzzle captures the elegance of nature with its asymmetric design and intricate mechanics, offering a delightful challenge for burr enthusiasts.
The Puzzle:
- Dimensions: A detailed 133 mm by 83 mm by 83 mm (approximately 5.24 inches by 3.27 inches by 3.27 inches).
- Objective: Disassemble the snail and reassemble it, navigating a level 14.11.4.3 sequence that involves moving parts of the shell and body to gradually reveal an opening for piece removal.
- Material: Crafted from Walnut and Zebrano for the shell, Ash for the body, with Limba Frake and Wenge eyes, providing a smooth, tactile experience and stunning contrast.
Why You'll Enjoy It:
L'Escargot embodies Jorgos Anastasou’s vision of a humble creature with a perfectly constructed shell and amazing movement, brought to life through Pelikan Puzzles’ craftsmanship. The puzzle’s asymmetric design, likened to the edible escargot by Kevin Sadler, sets it apart from Pelikan’s earlier snail puzzle, focusing on burr mechanics rather than sequential assembly. The disassembly sequence is engaging, with a gradual reveal that keeps you invested, while reassembly offers a satisfying challenge—potentially without needing a Burrtools file, though Sadler notes it’s trickier with scrambled pieces. The combination of woods makes this puzzle a visual and tactile delight.
Engage with L'Escargot and experience the joy of solving this snail-shaped burr - a beautiful and intricate challenge awaits!
