In particular:

Cryptex USB Key

Warning: It's in Russian.

I have to say, I don't usually think of Cryptexes as puzzles, just locks. I've always hoped someone would create a Cryptex that was a puzzle in its own right, without the need for external clues and media. Hmmm, is there such a thing? Or maybe I should just start designing one myself :p. In fact, a Cryptex done in the flavor of the Danlock would be awesome.

That USB stick really is a beautiful bit of work!

Anyone fancy making a Revo one? *Stares at Mark...* :lol:

i was finishing my designs and starting to prototype a cryptex type puzzle when I discovered RevoMaze. Except for revomaze being so much smaller, i figured it was close enough.

theres a few holidays coming up, if anyone wants to get me a real crypex, i wont be upset ;) ::hint hint::

Hmm... A Revomaze cryptex. Be careful what you wish for.

you didnt get the memo? after solving the algorithm it will only then be possible to solve the gold. But you wont be able to open it until you align the 7 "grip rings" on the body. only then can you attemt to solve the series code, so that you can have the chance to solve the purple. then all you'll have to solve is whether or not you let chris keep the check as an advance payment on series II.

Thinking about it, it would not be too hard

Nope (easy in fact ...) ;)

Also to get around this airport thing with the Revomaze is to shrink it (gonna have to do Mini Revo Keyrings 8-) )

"Shakes head - again!" :twisted:

Back to work :oops:
