Quest to unlock a puzzle box

Whilst on the hunt for a friend's 30th birthday present in Bath, I chanced upon a shop - Timber Treasures - that sold some delightfully crafty puzzle boxes. At first, I didn't realise what they were and tried sliding off the top of one, but to no avail. Was it broken? Had it jammed? Then I realised what it was.


As well as a pretty box for trinkets and keepsakes, it was a challenge: How fast could I unlock it? Not only did I have to work out which bits were movable/removable, I also had to follow the correct sequence for them.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Nearly there!

Ta-dah!


Pretty cool, huh?
