HexaPocket - Take-Away Brainteaser

HexaPocket - Take-Away Brainteaser I love the puzzles from Smart Games, and was really impressed with the design of their IQ Mini and its "all-in-one" travel-friendly design (they're cheap and awesome, buy one!) No setup manual needed, you just open the case and play. I wanted to invent my own design, based on the same principle but with a board shaped as a regular hexagon (because, as you know, Hexagons are Bestagons!) How it works: Move the 3 slider pieces into any initial position you want. Fill the remaining gaps with the 6 loose puzzle pieces. Features: 100% Solvable: I vibe-coded a script analysis to verify every single setup. There are 153 unique challenges and each one is guaranteed to have at least one solution. Travel Friendly: Everything fits inside. The latch holds tight, so you can toss it into a backpack or leave it in the car without losing pieces. Difficulty: Mostly easy. Perfect for kids or beginners. My 6 yo said “some are easy, some are hard”. It will be a great starting point for a kid to learn the basic strategies for solving this sort of puzzle. If you ever get completely stuck, a full solution PDF is available in the documentation below. 100% Print in Place: The box, hinge, and sliders print as a single piece. After print, just snap off the 4 built-in supports with pliers, like so: Watch this space! I fully intend to create new, more challenging games of this kind so, if you liked this one, consider following me!
