The ENIGMA CHEST puzzle box from WOOD TRICK is far more than an ordinary treasure chest – it's a tribute to one of the most exciting chapters in history. The Enigma encryption had a profound impact on computer science. During World War II, the Enigma cipher machine was used by the Germans to transmit top-secret information. But in 1942, Alan Turing and his team succeeded in deciphering the Enigma code – a breakthrough considered crucial to the victory of the anti-Hitler coalition. This cipher battle spurred the development of new technologies, and Turing is often referred to as the father of modern computer science.
The ENIGMA CHEST captures precisely this feeling of mystery and decryption. The secret of the Enigma Box is quite simple – you just need to open the combination lock on the lid. But finding the symbols for the combination lock is anything but trivial. Five symbols must be arranged in the correct order to unlock the puzzle box. To find them, hidden mechanisms in the sides of the box must be activated.
This custom-designed 3D construction kit is made entirely of natural wood and comprises over 500 pieces at complexity level 4. Part of the "Mechanisms" series, this kit features a gear system, planetary gears, racks, and springs. The lid can only be opened with the correct combination – a real highlight for puzzle enthusiasts. Thanks to precise manufacturing, no glue is required. This sustainable 3D wooden construction is safe, environmentally friendly, and guarantees hours of building and puzzling fun. This clever treasure chest is the perfect gift for anyone who loves ciphers, mysteries, and mechanical challenges.
