Stave Teaser Puzzles have nasty little design features to add challenge to the puzzle and delightfully drive you nuts:
• confusing colors
• repeating shapes
• empty spaces in which nothing fits
• irregular edges
• fiendishly clever cutting.

These small puzzles will tease you with their size, yet torture you with their challenge. The fun recycles, too, because they don't necessarily get easier the more you do them. They'll continue to taunt and tempt you with their cheery pieces in the deceptively small box.

In some Trick Puzzles, some pieces will fit in two different places, therefore the entire puzzle will go together in many different ways. Trick puzzles are designed for serious puzzlers.

Types of Tricks
• 2-way Tricks: With some pieces, the snug interlocks will fit in two different places. You'll have to keep swapping sections of the puzzle around to arrive at the correct solution

• Crazy Claws: Loose interlocks shaped like horseshoes can connect with each other in two distinct ways and can also connect with several other "claws". Once again, you'll have to kep moving sections around until they all fit.

• Monkey Fist: Contains multiple, identical large open interlocks into which multiple sections of the puzzle, with identical smaller interlocks, will fit.
