The Gordian knot puzzle box was designed by Robert Yarger. This is going to be a resin remake of Roberts's original design. It’s a very enjoyable puzzle to solve, challenging, and very tactile with a great original trick to finally solve the box sure to put a smile on any puzzler's face.  I’m excited to be able to work on making a version of this puzzle, I enjoyed solving it a lot. I particularly appreciated the elegance of the final trick and the geometry involved in creating it.

I am currently in the development stage with the design of it. Producing this in resin meant a few changes needed to happen, however, it was important for me to keep it as close to the original design as possible. The above picture shows the current proof of concept prototype, a glimpse at just one side of the Gordian knot puzzle resin version. The colors and final appearance are still being decided at this point. But hopefully, this gives an idea of what can be expected.

I will also be adding a few steps to the puzzle to build on its already devious solution. Something that both stays in keeping with the style of Roberts's design, but also gives a little surprise to people who have maybe already solved the original.
