Ruby's first cryptex

[SimonC]

this year I wanted to make the mystic Ruby something special for Christmas so I came up with a child-friendly cryptex. it's simplified down to be three chunky barrels instead of 4 or 5 thinner ones. they're also four sided to limit the amount of outcomes. the ends have a clue to the solution which is to line up the same coloured shapes with the coloured spots on the ends. it took Ruby a bit of getting used to but he can get to his treasure now I'll have to give him something trickier next year

This looks lovely Simon, especially for a young child! A gem to cherish forever!
And yes next time a more difficult puzzle!

I love it. So cool. And great to be able to make anything you imagine!

thanks I'm pleased with how it came out, I'm trying to get him thinking/solving etc. maybe one day he'll make his old man something
