TripleTIC is a 3-piece Turning Interlocking Cube (TIC) puzzle designed by Andrew Crowell - one of the leading designers in the TIC puzzle genre.
What is a TIC Puzzle?
A Turning Interlocking Cube puzzle requires rotating and sliding interlocking pieces to assemble a cube. Unlike standard assembly puzzles, pieces must turn during the solve sequence.
Why TripleTIC Stands Out
Three pieces. Nine moves. That's it. On paper, TripleTIC sounds almost too simple - and that's exactly the trap. With only 3 pieces to work with, there's nowhere to hide. Every move matters. The solution is tight, satisfying, and surprisingly hard to find the first time through.
- 3 pieces only - deceptively minimal
- 9-move solution - short enough to feel achievable, tricky enough to make you work
- Elegant geometry - fits together into a clean 4x4x4 cube
How Hard Is It?
With only 9 moves and 3 pieces, TripleTIC is one of the most accessible TIC puzzles available. If you've never tried a Turning Interlocking Cube before, this is the right starting point. Veterans will appreciate the tight, precise solve sequence too.
Who Is This For?
- Solvers new to TIC puzzles looking for an approachable entry point
- Gift buyers who want something premium-looking without the brutal difficulty
- Collectors of Andrew Crowell designs

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.
