Tower Of Hanoi is a classic mechanical puzzle invented back in 1883 in france by the mathematician Edouard Lucas.
The idea originated from a legend of about a Hindu temple where priests are transferring 64 golden disks, a task that would take 585 billion years to complete at a pace of one move per second! Coincidentally, 585 billion years is 42 times the current estimiate age of our universe, according to science.
The goal of the puzzle is to move the whole stack of disks from one rod to another, with 3 rules:
- Only one disk can move at a time
- Each move consists of taking a disk and moving it to another rod or stack
- A disk can only be placed on top of an empty rod or a bigger disk.
Our version comes with 7 disks, so once you understand how it works, it can totally be conquered.
Also, the rods are detachable, which allows for an easy travel mode.
This puzzle greatly develops mind-muscle connection, mathematical and logical thinking as well as perseverance for boys. Don't worry - it is also a fun challenge for adults. You really can't go wrong with this puzzle as a gift!

FAQ
Do You Ship Worldwide?
Yes. I ship anywhere. Orders typically arrive in 1-3 weeks depending on your location and how customs is behaving.
How Long Does Processing Take?
Some puzzles are produced on demand in our studio in Czech Republic. Processing usually takes 3-5 days before your order ships. During busier seasons it may take a bit longer.
Do Puzzles Come With Solutions?
Usually not. Sometimes you can find the solution on my YouTube channel. If not, feel free to reach out for hints!
What If I Get Stuck?
Good. That's the whole point.
But if "stuck" turns into "frustrated and not having fun anymore," email me. I'll send you a hint if you want a nudge. No judgment. Some puzzles took me days. A few took weeks. Some took months. Some took years. And some I have never solved - and that is part of the appeal.
Returns & Exchanges
Yes. You have 30 days. If the puzzle isn't right for you, send it back in the condition you got it and I'll refund you. If something arrived damaged or wrong, tell me and I'll fix it. Please be patient as we're a small team!
Are These Good Gifts?
People LOVE buying our puzzles as gifts. They're physical, they last forever, they don't need batteries, and they create a real moment - the person sits down, struggles, laughs, eventually solves it. That memory sticks.
If you're gifting, check the difficulty rating and pick something one notch below what you think the person can handle. Easier than you'd guess is usually the right call.
How Are the Puzzles Made?
All the puzzles are made with the help of my partner Puzzle Guy and his 3D printing studio in Czech Republic.
What Is a TIC Puzzle?
TIC stands for Turning Interlocking Cubes. They're a family of puzzles where wooden pieces interlock and rotate into a cube shape. The solve isn't just sliding pieces - you have to find the right rotations, in the right order. They're some of my favorite puzzles in the store.
Why Is Everything Turquoise?
I grew up near the sea in Israel. When life got loud or overwhelming, that's where I went to reset. Sit, watch the water, breathe. Things would settle.
The turquoise on this site isn't a branding choice I picked from a swatch. It's that color. The one I still see when I close my eyes and think of the place that calmed me down. I want you to feel a small version of that when you pick up a puzzle - a quiet moment, hands busy, head clear.
