## Description

Hanayama's S&S brainteaser dates back to the British puzzle craze during Victorian times. The elegant puzzle pieces may look simple, but solving the puzzle is more complicated than it looks. Your goal is to separate the twisted S shapes. One key is to remind yourself that these "S" shapes may look like twins. but are they really identical? Once you've solved the puzzle, can you put it back together again? This cast metal puzzle designed by Nob Yoshigahara is considered difficulty level 3 (moderate). Measures 4.48'' x 3.07'' x 1.88''. Hanayama is known worldwide for challenging puzzles and quality manufacturing. BePuzzled is more than just jigsaw puzzles - it's puzzle-plus.

Review: This Seahorse Hanayama puzzle is really cool. It feels great in the hands and is well built. It even has a little hole at the top of one of the horses so that it can be worn as jewelry. It took me an hour until it came apart, and then another hour to put it back into the starting position again. One of my friends solved it in 10 minutes however, but he still liked it a lot. It took another 4 hours before I had the movement really fluid, and for a couple of those hours it was quite frustrating (in a good way!). Now I enjoy playing with it sometimes when I watch TV. Any time a friend comes over and sits on my couch, they immediately pick it up from the coffee table and start playing with it. It's definitely one of the easiest Hanayama toys, hence it's level 3 out of 6 hardness rating, and a great first one to buy if you are new to this brand of puzzle. Way more advanced puzzles by this brand that I have used and recommend: Vortex, Enigma, Cast Quartet and Cast Spiral. The Revomaze brand maze toys are also really unique and highly addictive (just start at the easy levels, because the hard ones can take 40+ hours!) Revomaze Revomaze Obsession - Blue - Difficulty Rating 50/100 (difficulty 10 of 10)
Review: This is a great puzzle. Even after solving it, I love to play with it...

This is a great puzzle. Even after solving it, I love to play with it...

*by S***M on 12 February 2021*

It's not the highest of quality, it's not super cheap plastic either though. Once you do it once it's very easy to repeat, takes a few minutes to figure out.
