•Solid wood •Secret cavity •Magnets(because who doesn't love magnets)
This is a deceptively trickypuzzle box. It has a small cavity inside which is big enough tohide a secret message or even a small item.
Stump your players with a box that appears to be impossible to open. It's a great challenge for a session and a super reveal for a secret message!
Solution
Find the ball bearing.Wiggle the two halves of the box whilst examining the corners until you find the one with the ball bearing. This is what prevents it from moving.
Invert and hit that corner on your hand. Hold the box with the red side down and hit the corner with the ball bearing firmly against the palm of your hand. You should hear a click as the ball bearing releases from the magnet.
Slide the halves apart. The two halves of the box will now slide easily apart diagonally. To close it again, line the halves up with each other and hit the box against your hand with the red side on top.

Not so Impossible
When I got the puzzle it turned out to not be a puzzle at all it simply slid open with no effort at all. I thought there would be something to figure out but there was not. It looked like there should have been something in a small depression in the block but mine was empty.
