Hashtag Hanayama Metal Brainteaser Puzzle Mensa Rated Level 4, for Ages 12 and Up

Difficult but not impossible. Purchased for teenage girl stocking stuffer. Good quality.

I really enjoyed this. I took two days to figure this out. A tiny bit of a challenge. I have a lot of this companies puzzle.

Fun n item

This thing looks great. Very nicely made, quality material, etc. I’ve been on a kick with 4s lately, Cake, Cylinder, and I had moved onto U&U, which took me about a day or so. U&U is apparently on the same level as Mobius. Which I moved onto right after. Mobius took me all of about 20 minutes or less to disassemble and put back together. I’ve had more difficulty with level 3s, like the Galaxy (particularly putting it back together), and the O’Gear (another maze type puzzle). That being said, I would say this is more on par with most level 3 puzzles. There’s no trick, traps, or really anything that makes this puzzle more difficult than you’d expect. Can’t complain for the price certainly— especially considering the quality— but if you want a slightly more challenging level 4, I’d suggest something like Cylinder, Keyhole, or Coaster. Keyhole particularly if you want something maze-like that’s more complex than meets the eye. Overall, the Mobius is a neat, eloquent looking puzzle. The movements are quite nice and the quality is up there as far as Hanayamas go. Yet, it also has one of the most straightforward solutions of any Hanayama I’ve solved to date. An excellent piece for any Huzzle collector, but you’ll be sorely disappointed if you buy this expecting something as difficult as 4s like Cake or U&U.

I collect Hanayama puzzles and this one was so much fun to solve. It us very quality and has good weight, just like any Hanayama puzzle! It wasn't too difficult to solve so it's good for almost any age group.

Very entertaining puzzle, I bought it for a friend in my office and the first week it was there just about everyone that walked by his desk stopped to try to solve it for themselves. Once you figure out the trick to solving it you can get to the point where you can put it together in a few seconds but it takes awhile to memorize the pattern as it really only goes together one way. It's a great gift that provided a lot of entertainment for everyone on the team. We had only one rage quit out of about 15 people, so it seems to be an excellent difficulty level for a group of bored IT people. Someone else brought in the Enigma and Padlock puzzles from the same company but both of those proved to be so complex only one person could solve them without cheating and watching videos on how to do it. The general consensus was this one was much more fun because you can figure it out on your own if you play with it for awhile and watch the way the pieces move.

I don't agree that this level 4 U&U puzzle is a level 4. The level of detail that this puzzle requires in order to solve it should really be a level 5, so definitely would not recommend it as a level 4. I have solved level 6 that I felt were easier to solve than this. Sometimes you gotta put it down and come back an try again. Patient is key. With that said, I have collected more than 30 of these puzzles and I enjoyed them all. Gave some puzzles to friends and family and they are now a fan of these puzzles as well. Very addicting.

I think we've all seen these and they look pretty simple and basic, no major twists, etc. But with this one it's different. I thought I had it figured out in my head before even trying to get it apart and then back together. I was wrong but happily so. It was just challenging enough while still being fun. It can trip you up if you overthink it, let the pieces be your guide. It's thinner than most Hanayama's but it's still very solid, high quality & expertly crafted. Great fun! Was a real joy to figure out unassembling and then reassembling. Perfect for puzzle lovers who like a challenge.

This is a cool little puzzle. Oversize version of typical puzzle ring. Easy to do once you figure it out but still fun.

Es duradero, y divertido.

Bien fait

Fue para regalar, pero me dicen que hasta la caja de empaque tiene su dificultad. El diseño es muy bonito, manejable, hasta decorativo. ¡Nos encantó!

What's not to like with Hanayama. This is my second one and my new favourite. It's not a breeze to take apart but unless you understood HOW you did it, it is quite a bit more challenging reassembling it. I love it and soon will acquire more of these marvelous puzzles.
