Mr Puzzle - We've got puzzles!
What's New ? Click the link to go to a detail information page about these
topics. We sell mostly mechanical puzzles but also stock jigsaw puzzles
and some other puzzling items. Many of our brain games as they
could be called, are wooden puzzles, although you will find many
other puzzles including cast puzzles, other metal puzzles. Unlike word or jigsaw puzzles, mechanical puzzles are hand-held
objects that must be manipulated to achieve a specific goal. These
puzzles are sometimes referred to as mechanical puzzles, brain
teasers, 3d puzzles, mind benders, one person games, logic games,
or just plain wooden games or wooden toys. In fact in languages
other than English 'head breaker' is often the literal translation.
Puzzel or legpuzzel in Dutch, Pussel in Swedish are probably the
closest to English but the French call them Casse-Tete, in Spanish
it's Rompecabezas, the Germans usually say Geduldsspiel and the
Hebrew words Hidat Shihzur is literally translated as Restoration
Puzzle. Many of our puzzles are often referred to as 'Chinese' puzzles
(the generic term for puzzle in Mandarin is written Zhiliyouxi,
literally meaning: "Intelligence Game") or Japanese
puzzles (puzzle in Japanese is pronounced pazuru), or Rubiks puzzles.
In fact these puzzles rarely originate in China and only one of
them is of the Rubik style however certainly many modern day puzzles
have been invented in Japan like the Pandora's Box and the Hanayama
cast metal puzzles sold on this site. On this site you will find many original wood and metal puzzles,
some made here at Mr Puzzle by puzzle maker Brian Young, but many
from other puzzle designers or puzzle manufacturers. We stock
very difficult puzzles, as well as classic well known puzzles
and brainteasers. We will have included details about the inventor
and whatever history we know about each puzzle on the Presentation
card which is packaged with it. We sell high quality jigsaw puzzles with Australian themes.
We do not sell crossword puzzles or logic puzzles. To read more about the history of puzzles click
