Your cart is empty.Hanayama's Cylinder brainteaser gives you no clues to the solution - and that's part of the fun. The outside of this elegant little knurled cylinder doesn't offer any hints, but we'll give you one: Think about it as though you are cracking a safe. After you separate the cast metal cylinder into its components, can you put it back together again? This cast metal puzzle designed by Vesa Timonen is considered difficulty level 4 (challenging). Measures 4.72'' x 2.99'' x 1.88''. Hanayama is known worldwide for challenging puzzles and quality manufacturing. BePuzzled is more than just jigsaw puzzles - it's puzzle-plus.

Purchase several different pocket puzzles for sons and nephews aged 13-19. These were all a hit.This puzzle has a nice weight, metal, durable, and keeps the teens occupied and focused on solving. This particular puzzle seemed to have a difficulty level perfect for the older teens. As with the other puzzles this is a handheld sized puzzle, easy to carry around. Great as a gift.

Nice design, as always, solid, heavy cast puzzle from Hanayama. Challenging, fun, frustrating, amusing. Makes a great fidget. Family vacation tested ages 9 - 80. Some solved, some didn't. Especially interesting how challenging it can be to get back together, even after having done it. (I think once mastered, it will remain relatively easy, but time will tell.)____Update:Once truly mastered, easy to take apart and put back together quickly. Admittedly found helpful videos online, wanting to be able to put it back together quickly so more children can use it. [Would be VERY hard to put back together, I think, if you had never taken it apart.]A number of students have now taken it apart. Many more have not, YET. Not sure if any have fully put it back together, yet. [Definitely harder to put back together than take apart. Can get it apart without realizing what was done. Typically is 1st time.]Puzzle is starting to show some wear in the finish. Does not at all impact puzzle movment nor solution. One of my favorites.

We took the puzzle apart in 15 minutes, putting it back together is another challenge. Really love that it gives us a break from screen time and brings everyone together to come up with a solution. Great value

These puzzles are great. This one has thrown me for a loop and I can’t figure it out. Not giving up but if you want a challenge this one might be it. Recommend these to any family member that likes a challenge.

The Cylinder puzzle from Hanayama keeps up with the high quality and aesthetics of other Hanayama puzzles. I won't give away any specific details about the solution, but I will say that it is quite possible to stumble upon the disassembly accidentally or by trial and error, without really understanding the mechanism behind it. That's probably why the puzzle is rated at a difficulty of 4 out of 6, and mainly why my review is rated 4 out of 5. That said, it's one of the better looking of all the Hanayama puzzles in my opinion, and invites people to pick it up and start messing with it. Even after disassembling, it still has some value in figuring out precisely how it works and learning how to work it reliably without any guesswork.I would recommend this puzzle if you're interested in puzzles with unseen mechanisms that have a reasonable difficulty, yet are much more accessible than the hardest puzzles in the Hanayama lineup.

I had a lot of fun figuring out how to get this one to come apart; but now I'm struggling to get it back together heheh. It's a lovely toy that feels great in the hands and has a pleasant heft to it- honestly I adore it. I cannot wait to get it back together so I can take it apart again!

...because I'm going to be spending a lot of money on Hanayama puzzles.This puzzle is brilliant. This is the first Hanayama puzzle I've attempted (it arrived yesterday along with Labyrinth and Quartet which I will review separately once they are solved).This is a very logical puzzle, and yet it's hard to see the logic until you've solved it, which is something I like in a puzzle. I took it apart in probably about 30 minutes, but then it took me at least that long to put it back together again. The second time was quicker, but I didn't fully understand it until the third time.Now, once you've really solved it and understand how it works, it's very simple to take apart and put back together, so at that point there's really no replayability in terms of solving it again. However, it's a very attractive piece and it makes a great desk decoration/fidget toy. It's quite hefty and feels good in the hand and the motion required to disassemble and reassemble is very satisfying. As a fidgety person, I am extremely pleased with this piece and I expect it will still get lots of use even though I've solved it.

This is a beautifully constructed puzzle, it's solid metal with a decent weight to it. Even if you can't solve it, the spinning pieces feel good to manipulate.As for the challenge, it's quite tough given you cannot ever physically see how the puzzle is being solved. There's a lot of feel work involved as you rotate it around like you would cracking into a safe.Definitely challenging putting it back together as well, as the solution can come quite rapidly, leaving you a bit stumped over the correct order.Great puzzle. Looking forward to checking out more!
