Rialto Bridge puzzle

Edward Hordern IPP Puzzle Exchange – Assisi June,2026.  
Designed by Brian Young. Made by Brian @ Mr Puzzle.  Exchanged by Brian Young.

212 made. Original Price: AU$300 
Extra copies have now been listed on Puzzle Paradise as Fixed Price AU$300.
Once these have been sold Brian has more to complete from the original batch but it is likely to be late in the year before that is done. I’ll keep this post updated.

 

This puzzle fits into a couple of different categories of puzzle. Brian calls it a sequential move puzzle. There are items to find and get out of the puzzle so it could be called a puzzle box in a way.
But Brian does not consider it to be a Sequential Discovery puzzle.

Goal:   What you have around the Rialto Bridge is gondolas and gondoliers, right?
So you have to find the gondola and gondolier inside the puzzle. As well as his oar (pole) and the ballast (we jokingly said that was the paying tourists sitting in the gondola).

While it is possible to complete the puzzle with dexterity (read: lots of frustration😣) a better way is to find the elegant and repeatable solution to all the steps without dexterity involved. The only dexterity necessary should be on the reset of the puzzle and that’s very minimal.

Size: 120mm x 55mm x 35mm

The puzzle is made from Silky Oak wood with metal parts and acrylic windows. 
Packaged in a kraft cardboard box.
