I’ve been musing about this bell-focussed puzzle for quite some time now, having gathered the components a few months ago.  I finally found time today to work through this creative project, and I’m quite happy with how it turned out – beautiful as well as functional.

We had some used old red cedar boards at the back of the house, and I borrowed one to upcycle as part of this project.  A bit of stain, a bit of colourful string, nine silver jingle bells, and some steel staples that I hand-coloured using paint pens has produced this lovely little beauty.  I think the puzzle itself will be too complicated for our younger players, but likely perfect for the 10 to 16 year old groups.  That is – assuming it passes some testing.  I’m a bit worried about the string durability – I’ve used a heavy weight thread, but breakage is a risk.  Fingers crossed it holds up!  And if not, at the very least I have an interesting piece of wall art…

Twelve locks + 14 lockable boxes + 5 pairs of handcuffs + 10 children = one good time!

Looking for a collaborative team building event for your sports team?  We offer a unique option where team members are literally locked together and must rely on each other to solve puzzles, beat the clock, and “escape”.  It’s a great way to strengthen relationships between teammates.  And we bring the event to you – so set-up and organization are simple.
