BePuzzled | Infinity Hanayama Metal Brainteaser Puzzle Mensa Rated Level 6, for Ages 12 and Up

I absolutely LOVE this puzzle! It's nice and compact, very sturdy and strong, and all the pieces move freely with no binding. It's visually pleasing and gets a lot of attention. I've had it sitting on my desk at work for about a month now. I work with engineers, so it's been played with a lot, and it's still like new. It's a great puzzle, fairly challenging and fun. Once you understand how it works, it's also easy to visually see how close someone is to solving it, which is nice, because people will work at it for a while, and then you can look at it and tell them if they're on the right track or just going in circles. Should be noted that the picture seems to show a brass colored piece, but mine is silver chrome. Not sure why that would matter, but I suppose it might to some people. As for me, I'm loving this puzzle. Great purchase!

Not so simple! And a wonderful piece to put on a desk. After, you know, you figure out how to put it back in its original form (a second puzzle!)

I'm usually pretty good at puzzles like this. I usually finish super hard ones in 30-60 min. Didn't read any instructions... Saw back of box before and after with rings out. Got to work. Infinity took about 20-30 min to solve and about 5 min to put back. Once you figure out the gimmick (which took 15-20 min) , it gets pretty easy with repetitive motions. I liked the gimmick of this one. Not very complex but tricky because you can't see what's inside until u have half the trick exposed. Recommended. Liked much more than news which took me 15 min but just has simple gimmick.

It took me about a week or so to master it, and prior to this the Devil wire puzzle was the most difficult puzzle I had solved. Once you solve it a couple times, it’s super easy to replicate. I would call it a level 4.5 for experienced puzzlers. Fairly simplistic solution once you catch onto it. Certainly wouldn’t put it on the same level as the Equa or Enigma. A good puzzle if you’re only just getting into puzzles and the Level 6 difficulty. Nicely made, good material, but a bit of a contradiction. Somewhat middle of the road— not in a bad way. Just in the sense that it’ll be difficult for a beginner, yet likely somewhat basic for someone with anything more than a bit of Hanayama experience. That being said, this puzzle is PERFECT for someone just getting into Hanayama. Teaches you quite a few trains of thought (not everything is what it seems!), trial and error, and strategies to get you started with other Hanayama/mechanical puzzles. A beginner will feel quite accomplished having solved this, and have learned a few things along the way.

On a whim I decided to purchase two of these Level 6 Hanayama puzzles. I chose the Infinity and the Square. I first had my goal of solving Infinity first as that one appealed to me the most. After maybe an hour of fiddling around with it off and on I was able solve it - I never done puzzles like this or "mind teasers" this is my first one. Having said that I would challenge anyone to solve this under 30 minutes. Out of the 2 I can see Infinity being my favorite out of the other Level 6s Hanayama offers, but I may be surprised in the future.. I read some other Amazon reviews and remember reading the "News" can just fall apart in your hands.. Well unfortunately I kind of had a similar experience with the Square. I will say however the hint in the box is a bit too much and led to this happening. I would recommend not reading the hint! I believe the Infinity had no such hint that was in the box. (although it wouldn't help because its an entirely different take on a puzzle). After the the Square fell apart, it was more challenging putting it back together but I felt this puzzle was more "frustrating" then logic provoking. The quality of both puzzles are very well made, nicely durable and they have a nice weight to them, The overall quality makes it worthwhile to spend time on solving these and you wouldn't ever have to worry about breaking it while trying to solve them. I will definitely will be purchasing more! The Infinity is a great puzzle and would love to see if another Level 6 is just as good as this one!

Hard to solve! Exactly what I wanted!!

I totally dig this puzzle. No, I haven't successfully undone it but it's still fun. I also love the sound of the clicks and feel of it, it's heavy and smooth if you're an ASMR kind of person. I did cheat and YouTube the solution but I think a bird flew by and I'm easily distracted so...

Bought this and other metal brainteasers for my grandsons aged 14 to 21 for stocking stuffers. They all loved them and traded amongst themselves! Great quality!

This is a tricky puzzle, but once you get the hang of it you try to solve it faster.

Complicado de uma forma simbólica, porque você pode deduzir os movimentos corretos por uma abordagem mais observadora e "filosófica", senão você fica apenas em tentativa e erro e isso seria uma abordagem bastante demorada, imatura e desnecessária.

Hasta ahora es el que más he tardado en resolver, el mecanismo y la solución es tan original que al final, todo el puzzle tiene sentido. Hago una amplia recomendación a este puzzle de hanayama, no es nada fácil y parece no tener solución, ya con algo de análisis vas encontrando el camino correcto, en fin solo les puedo decir que es una especie de laberinto que no puedes ver, si no solo sentirlo al giro de sus partes. 10 en originalidad, calidad y diseño. Puzzle nivel 6 de 6. Until now it is the one that has taken me the longest time to solve, the mechanism and the solution is so original. I highly recommend this hanayama puzzle, it's not easy at all and there seems to be no solution, but with a little of analysis you'll find the right path, I can only tell you that it's a kind of labyrinth that you can't see, just feel it at the turn of its parts. 10 in originality, quality and design. Puzzle level 6 of 6.

I acquired this puzzle as my first puzzle into the foray into brain teaser puzzles. This puzzle consists of 3 pieces and requires you dismantle and re-assemble the puzzle. My friends and I have probably poured a few hours each (taking turns) into the puzzle. We had no difficulty disassembling the puzzle, but we have not yet solved how to reassemble the puzzle. Really awesome puzzle and great for someone looking for a challenge.
