Hourglass Hanayama Puzzle: Level 6 Difficulty Rating, RED Velveteen Pouch

Mastering the Hanayama HOURGLASS puzzle may require more than just a few hours of sand flowing through an hourglass. It is ranked as a level 6 puzzle on a scale of 1 to 6, with 6 being the most difficult. Many will find this puzzle to be a great challenge, as it requires a lot of strategic thinking, planning, and multiple attempts of shifting pieces back and forth. Putting the puzzle back together is equally as challenging. Sometimes, individuals may accidentally separate the pieces and think they have solved it, but mastering the puzzle involves being able to easily disassemble and assemble the four pieces.

Solving any Hanayama puzzles requires a true understanding of how the pieces should be manipulated, rather than just random luck. No force is ever needed to solve the puzzle, only a series of clever moves. It is recommended for individuals aged 13 to 105. It is important to remember the "NO Force Rule," as forcing pieces may cause damage to the puzzle. The HOURGLASS Hanayama puzzle comes with a red velveteen drawstring storage pouch measuring approximately 3 x 4 inches when laid flat.

It is rated as a level 6 difficulty, but individual experiences may vary. The recommended age range for this puzzle is 13 to adult.
