Make Room wood packing puzzle – Standard

Standard Range version made from January 2004 to February 2005.  1000 made.  All sold.
Original Price: AU$40.00

In May 2021 one of these puzzles resold at Puzzle Paradise auction for AU$430.00

In February 2023 one of these puzzles resold at Puzzle Paradise auction for Euro 80 (at the current exchange rate that’s about AU$135.00)

The puzzle is to re-pack all 9 pieces in the box so that all pieces are under the closed lid. You will need to make room for the key (dowel) to fit.

Mr Puzzle resdesigned Make Room so that this version has a unique solution. In 1997 Stewart Coffin originally designed Make Room and allocated it #127 in his numbering system although only one of these puzzles was made.

That version had 14 separate solutions to fit all nine pieces in the box.

Size 90mm x 85mm x 78mm
The puzzle is made with the kind permission of Stewart Coffin.
