7th June 2012

There are only a few Houdini's Torture Cell puzzles left now and we won't be making them again. There is a small defect in these last few.
The perspex on these last few have very small star cracks around some of the screws as if the screws were tightened too much. It's not that; it's a result of movement in the wood behind the plastic. This does not affect the working of the puzzle in any way; it's just the look. Click here.
