Houston, we had a problem here.
6 July 2024Released and sold out at IPP41, Houston in July 2024. 44 puzzles made. Original Price: AU$300 In 2025 there was one of these puzzles resold…

The puzzle box shell is a “donor” puzzle box called “Long Life” made in China by MIToys. None of the original puzzle solution is used.
All puzzling to open the box is the creation of Brian Young.
The puzzle is to find the Tokyo Cherry Blossom.
If you got back to earth after the Apollo 13 mission, it’s now time to take off again in Tokyo.
Now there are nearly twice as many steps (locks) plus the original steps that were in the Houston version of the puzzle.
Despite appearances, there is surprisingly very little dexterity and hardly any blind moves. There have been tools included for each challenge along the way to enable you to minimise the use of dexterity.
