Did anyone try my repair solution? Please let me know if it worked for you!
There has to be some purpose to that key. Did you try opening up the other side?
Pedro Infante maybe it's for one of the other puzzles of the set
Maybe ask the Urban Cookie Collective? It could be the key to the Secret....
Pedro Infante having looked into the puzzle series, the key is used for the next puzzle in the series, the Ramisis.
Omg.Life saving video.Thank you man,This shit was locked for so long.Your solution worked...Thank you so much
"Keep in mind knowing the solution cannot be reversed" Ah, you underestimate my ability to forget
Mine as well. Who are you? Where am i?
How do I type again?
how do i reply to a comment again

Watch it when you are drunk. You will not remember the Solution next day. Memory puzle- Soved
kind of a flawed puzzle, and absurdly expensive for no apparent reason. Thanks for taking the bullet for us on this one Mr.Puzzle!
The reason it's so expensive is to pay for the prizes you can win after opening the puzzle. Originally in the UK they had pyramids hidden around certain locations that you can open with the key. In the US, there use to be an online riddle you could solve for prizes.
Woofalot it still could be more elegantly designed.
A mockery to the art of puzzle making
That's a good way to describe this puzzle
"puzzle"
Lets just call it, an expensive rattle... I think that’s a more fitting tittle.
not meant in a judgey way, just curious if anyone else feels like this I much prefer puzzles that can be solved with logic, like a lot of the wooden/string puzzles or the gravity defying puzzles or the lock and keys puzzle, etc, than the ones that you kind of have to do some random stuff until something works? Or maybe I'm just too stupid to figure out that there's a method for figuring out the secret magnet puzzles haha, that's very possible. EDIT: That being said, Mr Puzzle is so charming that I love watching all his videos regardless.
Bridget Petras I think the same! Just smashing something until it gets open just doesn't feels like a puzzle, but more like a childrens toy.
Reminds me of the $1000 USD Radio puzzle that Chris Ramsay tried to solve. All that and the solution was literally to bash it with your fist on the top (like you would when you're frustrated that your radio isn't working). Chris really enjoyed it for some reason, but... just... for $1000 USD? Really? kzhead.info/sun/YJyNYbhtfWudkqc/bejne.html
I agree 100% completely... I would much rather work on a "logic" puzzle, then a "luck" puzzle any day of the week. I can't stand puzzles that you have to hit, to unlock a magnetic part... none of them, not one, that I have ever seen, have any part of the puzzle that indicates that you are supposed to hit it, to solve it... so it relies entirely on luck to figure out, rather than logic.
Yep I dislike those so-called 'box puzzles' which always use magnets and stupid hidden ball bearing mazes that don't make any sense and are pretty much only solvable when you know EXACTLY what to do. Stupid.
I remember when Rubiks cube 1st came out in 80's, they did various tests on different groups to see who was quickest at solving it. Strangely enough the psychotic patients in mental institutions solved it fastest... Something to do with them not being logical at all?
I wish the symbols and rotating rings actually had something to do with the puzzle. They're basically just there to trick you so the puzzle seems harder than it actually is, when it really is just unintuitive. To me the sign of a well designed puzzle is one where you're given all the information right away and solve it through logical thinking. When you hide information or provide information that's completely misleading, then it just ends up being guess work and fiddling around with the puzzle until it somehow solves itself.
Completely agree, I dislike these puzzle types too, with the internal ball bearing maze etc. Like how do you find a solution to that the first time without just looking it up? It would be practically impossible.
so how do u solve it
@@xavierduval7822 did you not watch the video?
What a crappy puzzle. The pricetag and all of the symbols and clues and it ends up being that simple. I expected multiple stages and different types of puzzle to solve.
James Coyle The price tag could be acceptable if it was for the whole series but as is it’s overpriced. However, the symbols, the key, the box, etc are used in the following puzzles in the 5 piece series.
Caster269 It really should be 500 for the whole set... This just seems you're paying for a puzzle and only getting one piece. It's like paying for a jigsaw puzzle that has an intricate and detailed design but when you open the box there are only 20 pieces rather than 1000.
James: Even that would be more acceptable. Except, in your scenario, the other 980 pieces don't even exist. Don't hold your breath that the series of puzzles ties together any accomplishment chain.
You people are idiots. The keys aren't for decoration, the puzzles are part of a global scavenger hunt with a £10,000 reward for the winner. That's the reason why there's such a high price tag for all of them.
Lol. A global scavenger hunt with a £10,000 reward, with a simple £2,500 buy-in cost? Who are the idiots 😂. I sure hope that 1 out of 4 hunters win the reward.
I don't think I'll ever understand this kind of "puzzles". To me they are literally impossible, because the solution involves a completely random mechanic that you could never actually deduce logically. It's just a guess game. I would never think of smacking the puzzle because "it might have something magnetically attached". That just doesn't make any sense to me. Puzzles are supposed to be logical. Step by step, you have the clues, and you solve for each of them. That's a puzzle. Zelda games have better actual puzzles that most of the ones seen on youtube...
This isn't the greatest puzzle that Mr. Puzzle has reviewed. It's ridiculously expensive, and does have a strange mechanic. However, puzzles with smacking and spinning mechanics can be quite ingenious, and follow logically. For some puzzles, if you think about the puzzle's theme or listen very carefully to the puzzle (e.g. the Da Vinci Helicopter puzzle).
@@InfluxDecline Yeah but this video is NOT one of them. it's just a guess.
This puzzle is a massive scam. They charge hundreds of dollars for this crap. And you have to register your puzzle online to get those clues which means you can't resell it when you're done. Oh yeah and this is only the first puzzle in the line of puzzles. And if you get involved, you are gonna want the other ones.
Wait, so how is it a scam? Maybe you meant to say it's a rip-off?
Jesse H. When they claim it's the hardest puzzle in the world, it IS kind of a scam...
maybe, I dunno kina just seems like run-of-the-mill marketing hyperbole.
In reply to "How is it a scam?" Because you buy the puzzle, and then *only after* buying the puzzle and removing the special seal to open the box (which voids the refund), do you learn that you need to pay even more money to purchase the clues on how to solve it. And the clues are necessary, because the mechanical rings and symbols on the puzzle have nothing to do with the solution for opening it. This was intentional design -- they don't want you to be able to "figure it out" like a normal puzzle on your own. The creator wants you to have to buy the clues. Additionally you need to give him your personal information to buy the clues. It's all very suspicious. Also, apparently there are accounts of the CEO not paying the manufacturers/designers he hired what was agreed upon. I said it on the other video and I'll say it again, this is the most immoral puzzle I have ever seen. :/
Jesse H. Well, it's not hard at all, at least not the puzzle part. They just used a too strong magnet. And they keep trying to extract more money from people because they struggle with realizing just how strong the magnet is, when really, the puzzle itself isn't that hard.
This was the most dissatisfying puzzle of all time.
cinnamonbeard it even has a useless key
"This would be impossible without the clues" And therein lies the problem with this puzzle. Ya gotta pay more to get these clues, and the puzzle itself already costs hundreds. Heck, the advertisement shows the top piece is gold... the colors don't even line up with what you got ._. I feel this puzzle is MADE to require you to spend money on the clues... The strong magnet meaning you can't accidentally "start" the puzzle, the 'combination' pieces (which are advertised on the website) which mislead you as they are useless, the very arbitrary blind maze with no real indication on your progress...
I was waiting for this episode. You nailed it in your own way and helped others how to fix a mistake due to manufacturing flaws.
Yeah, got this as present when it first came out years ago. I was very keen to solve it and spent quite a while solving hieroglyphs and got nowhere. With frustration I started to to solve it as many other magnetic puzzles and solved whole thing with crude method in 10 minutes. Considering that it implied much more sophisticated puzzle and furthermore original instructions warned against hitting it since it could brake the thing I consider whole thing just a scam. Expensive scam.
If they warn people against hitting it, it's definitely a scam since that means they know full well that you can unlock it just by hitting it when the bearings are in that 'locked' position.
even the worlds most challenging puzzle is no match for you! You found not only one, but two ways. Amazing video Mr. Puzzle! Can’t wait for more content!
Crash Tranquility Seeing your profile picture makes me wish so much that the game got more attention and care to have gotten sequels
I would consider the theory of everything the most challenging puzzle.
good job man always entertaining
This video is pure gold ,btw congrats on 500k ,you are a genius
M. Stone I said he is a genius
I enjoy the puzzles that allow you to leave a "gift" inside of them. They are great gifts to give to others that can hold a prize at the end. I also particularly like buying the metallic, high quality puzzles. However, this one in particular doesn't seem to be a very "fun" puzzle to me. If the clues weren't there, the puzzle is not exactly a puzzle (as you said, impossible). Giving this to someone doesn't really seem like a good gift at all. My favorite puzzle so far from you is definitely The Revomaze Blue. Thank you for your videos. They are very entertaining! You do a great job of trying to walk us through YOUR experience and it makes me feel like I experienced it as well.
Most challenging? More like most expensive for what it is
Yesss! I was looking forward to a follow up solution video for this puzzle!
I honestly believe you're the closest to a genius a human being can ever get. Your solving skills are out of this world. I salute you!
dude u just hit 500k subs! good for u
I wanna give a big shout out to you Mr. Puzzle I love your videos so much! The reason I got into puzzles is because of you, and someone I think you know as well good ol Chris Ramsey. You both have inspired me to get back into puzzling which is something I used to do a lot of, but in recent years stopped. Thank you so much for the amazing content, and I hope you keep putting out these great videos. Many blessings your way Mr. Puzzle!!!!!
I'm not puzzle freak, but I love watching your videos. It's kind of chill out for me. Greetings from Poland ;)
That’s amazing, you found your own method! I love it
This has a very futuristic art style like something out of Stargate , love it! Definitely a conversation piece .Beautiful .
19 min Mr Puzzle video. Yes!!
you improve every video!
Thank you Mr. Puzzle. I purchased a used ISIS I Sharper Image orb puzzle. Your video allowed me to open it. The backdoor solution was the trick that I needed. It allowed me to open the orb and study the internal maze (which can't be observed by removing the cover plate) so I can also solve the puzzle the intended way. This Sharper Image version of this puzzle is similar to the one that you reviewed minus the key inside. Thanks again!
Yes! Thankyou. Hope the people who broke it can open it again.
So... basically, the entire first half of the puzzle... is pointless?
Mr Puzzle is a frigging genius. Mad respect to you sir.
I can see why you took 3 weeks to upload this, pretty disappointing considering the massive price tag
Also be prepared for the company to attack you for posting the solution online. They don't like that.
they might bomb you cause they are ISIS LMAO
Porky Minch LMAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂👌🏻👌🏻
Skylor Trexler Well, it's kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, I likely never would have heard of this puzzle if it wasn't for Mr. Puzzle. On the other hand, I'm not likely to buy it now that I watched this video and saw the solution. Granted, I probably wouldn't buy it even if I found out about it on my own and didn't see the solution here. I think that just means I'm not a consumer for products like this. I do like Mr. Puzzle videos, however. I can see how a puzzle company may be unhappy with Mr. Puzzle for showing off their puzzle solutions and earning money from doing so while also *possibly* reducing sales of the puzzle. If I had to guess, however, I would guess that Mr. Puzzle is actually boosting sales of the puzzles he shows because he has quite a large audience. Mr. Puzzle is exposing these products to people who are likely already inclined to enjoy puzzles, so chances are many of those people go on to purchase these products. Some puzzle builders may find the idea of the individual puzzle solving process to be more important than profit, which is noble. In that case, a negative reaction to the solution being spread online isn't surprising. I don't know what the situation looks like from Mr. Puzzles point of view, but ideally I think people should not share puzzle solutions online if the builder asks them not to do so. For all I know, Mr. Puzzle may already comply with those types of requests. Naturally, I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. Just my 2 cents. What do you think about the "ethics" of the situation?
+rat town the problem isn't so much that he posted the solution... it's that the solution requires you to spend extra money to try and get it in the first place. Since they don't need to do that anymore, the owners may get a bit upset.
steeledminer616 oh! I was not aware that the solution was FOR SALE. Completely disregard my thoughts about 'the puzzle solving process' in this case, then. Especially given that this is several hundred dollars to begin with. That's just a scummy business practice and I'm glad the solution is shared here for free. I read a(n) article/review about this after seeing your comment that posits that this company wants personal information so badly because anyone with enough disposable income to buy this would likely be very valuable to other businesses. The author guesses that this company is likely selling personal info to telemarketers and the like.
You did an amazing job with sound quality and mixing. Thanks for the video and keep it up !
Don't you just hate that ? 1 video has dreadful audio levels so you have to increase volume massively but next vid has perfect sound that does its best to deafen you because of previous video ? Wish Y.T had a universal audio level set to 9 for EVERY video , that way you only need to decrease volume .I love creators who care enough about this problem .
Awesome video.......... Was really looking forward to this video... Great job as always
$400 puzzle that can be bypassed by... Well, I can't spoil it, but I'd expect better craftsmanship for that much. E: I just watched the rest of the video, it's really shitty and pretentious for them to release it with the extra materials and those red herrings. They basically require you to buy the clues on their website in order to solve it. Don't buy one of these.
Clearly you're unaware that the whole line of puzzles by this company is part of a global scavenger hunt, with pretty large monetary rewards.
I think the bypass was intended as a failsafe in case of improper assembly
I'm a little disappointed that none of hieroglyphs or rotation of the rings have anything to do with the solution. Misdirection is of course useful in making a puzzle more difficult, but still... a shame those beautiful images and rings don't contribute to the solution and the misdirection wasn't something else. In any event, that's super cool that you discovered your own unique way of solving the puzzle.
Good video, but not a good puzzle. Any puzzle box can be opened if you hit it hard enough, so it's unreasonable to make smashing the puzzle box into a solid surface the "right" solution.
I learn more every time I watch. Thanks!
I've just gotta say, that little promotional shot that you did right after the spoiler break looks incredible! It could totally pass as a professional advert.
I was curious about this when it was declared difficult but I'd say difficulty is how much effort and chance of success after knowing how to do it. Scoring a 3 point shot is difficult even if you know how. This just involves a big bluff about difficulty so people over think it but once you have any idea it's super easy unless you aren't strong enough to open a pickle jar.
Your videos are so relaxing and good quakity, thanks for a second video on this one been looking forward to it.
Seeing the roughly laser-etched hieroglyphs on the cheap anodized aluminum had me skeptical about the manufacturer from the get-go. Turns out they're completely evil. The hieroglyphs were not a clue to the puzzle, but the puzzle of whether you should buy it or not. The answer is no.
I'm curious, for something that expensive that's backed by additional transactions for hints, will the company try to flag videos showing solutions?
finally! I've been waiting for so long! :D
Mr Puzzle is the smartest man alive! Even Benjamin Gates could not solve this!
How in the hell are you possibly supposed to figure this out? Mr. Puzzle is crazy smart.
How did you know the way to turn in order to get past the maze?
Eli Weisshung he probably paid the clue on the website
his 2nd method was an unintended solution & bypasses the maze, after that he can just look at it
@@reebelRT He explains in the second half of the video that he accidentally bypassed the whole thing by giggling it in all directions and smacking it when the noise stopped. Once it was opened, it was easy to dismantle it, see all the useful internal parts (ball stuck to the strong magnet, maze shape, push button, and pair of balls under the maze) and deduce the intended procedure.
Finally! A puzzle where rage smuching works!
Congrats on 500k subscribers.... :)
Mr puzzle *solves puzzle *finds out how it operates *discovers there’s a flaw in the design *puts back together Me *still playing with the blue spinny parts on the outside thinking I’m close to figuring out the combination
Mr.Puzzle, nice presentation as always. I always enjoy your videos. But for anyone interested in this puzzle, please research this puzzle on google before you consider buying it. There are some blogs from others who have purchased this, as well as comments from former contracted manufacturers/designers out there.
Impressive solutions ... thanks.
Just subscribed. 1 of favorite KZheadrs ever
Thanks and welcome to my channel!
Congratulations to you 500k sub
Crazy mech. Crazy puzzle. AMAZING SOLVE. Danke schon!
+MrPuzzle What is inside that top half? There are some numbers on the disc. Have you tried removing the retaining ring?
Numbers are registration/item number, it seems.
500.000 YESSSSS! Congratulations with this amount of subscribers 👊 But why would they include a (cryptic description , unlocked pieces) inside of it, could it belong to a future or past puzzle? And what about the numbers inside? I find that the most riddled of the puzzle.. lol 🤔😂
mademoisellekaya this is the first in a series of puzzles that get much much harder and what you find in each puzzle is used for the next puzzles
Been waiting for this! Never got anywhere with it.
I think your unintended solution is the master solution. Im thinking that the company is gonna charge people for some $$ to "repair" their puzzles if the consumer assembled it wrong.
I would not be surprised if the thing inside is one of "collect all 4 to solve this 5th puzzle".
You are not far off. That's exactly what this is about.
Mr. Puzzle is also Mr. Fix-it
Kind of a dumb puzzle, built on trickery
Wow another 5 out of 5, excellent, excellent, very good. So that simply means I not even going to worry about buying THAT, LOL!
Beautiful looking puzzle.
Nobody STUMPS Mr Puzzle!!
Excelente, muy buen puzzle..!!
I recently bought Hanayama Chain and Hanayama Enigma. Thanks for introducing me to them. Been having fun getting frustrated with them.
I was waiting for that wideo,patience is key 😀
Been looking forward to this. Funnily enough when i saw the notification i first thought before seeing the title when we would see the update and well what do you know it was that exact video 😃 I am also glad you showed me what the key was i was wondering hmm what the heck is that. Pitty it doesn't do anything though :(
The key apparently does do something, in the next puzzle in the series they're selling. Which apparently means the next puzzle can't be completed without having bought and done this puzzle.
Oh that's cool, hope he continues the series
This isn't a puzzle. It's a lockbox, with a specific, unintuitive solution to unlock it. A puzzle is intuitive.
Mr Puzzle Lunchtime Notification 😀😀😀😊👩🏻💼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Yesssss Sir
Happy 500k subs Mr.Puzzle 🎉🎉🎊🎊👍👍🎈🎈 keep up the good work
Thanks! ☺️
Way easier than the giraffe puzzle. The giraffe puzzle is insane.
Mr. Puzzle, please make more video's? I look forward to your insight in puzzles.
Wooooooo! Sunday morning Mr.Puzzle!
That trick probably saved a lot of people. I hope you get the harder levels of this puzzle series
Oh it's that ancient language looking orb. Good job.
🤪
What a cool puzzle!
Loved this video !
Mr. Puzzle, you are awesome!!
Great channel. I am a new subscriber checking out the older videos. Have a great day 👋
Wow that showcase at the start very nice editing with the music and stuff!
Great Puzzle!!!
The way he says mr. puzzle is hilarious 00:02
GG on this puzzle!
Brilliant, I'm sure that did help many inquisitive puzzle solvers whom got distracted by dinner, diaper changes or what have you, then just unintentionally reassembled it wrong. Neat!
I liked the new musical product highlight that you did. Maybe you could do your introduction to the puzzles at the same time.
I think the solution you found was intended by the designers just in case it was assembled wrong or if you forget to put the ball baring back after you solved the puzzle. Otherwise, just like you said, it would be impossible to open the puzzle ever again. It’s pretty awesome that not only did you solve the puzzle but you found the secret designers solution. The designers will see this video and say, “will we ever design a puzzle that this guy can’t do? It doesn’t look like it!”.
More like sloppy design. The more I read these comment the more obvious it is that this is just a way to make fools part with their money (and personal information). That company will be shut down by GDPR.
That bypass/2nd solution doesn't even work to open it if you assemble it wrong, lmao. That point isn't even valid. If you assemble it wrong, not even the 2nd solution will work. So you can't even give them the credit there :D
Thank you. Mr. Puzzle! I have several of these puzzles and for years couldn’t get them open. Can you open more from the series, the Ramisis, Copernisis, and the Tessarisis with its internal tarka cube?
YAY!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME MR PUZZLE....THANK YOU....
Sweet!!!!! Finally👍 Mr.Puzzle...i have been watching u for some time now and commenting. I high enjoy your videos. If i may ask what is your occupation? Just curious. 👍 from Clearwater, FL...USA...By the way great new editing and video work.
I was really looking forward to buying all of the isis puzzles and solving them and getting all of the keys so i could do the treasure gunt at the end of the series or whatever it ends up being but if one puzzle has an error like that then the others probably arent perfect either and for what they charge they should be perfect and the overall quality should be better so mr. Puzzle thank you for making the videos about this puzzle. Saved me a lot of money.
You cooked the Orb?! Mister Puzzle! Crazy! What do the numbers on the inner ring next to the key signify? Great vid as always Mr. Puzzle!
I agree with previous comments that the key might be required to solve an additional future puzzle, or that you have to collect keys from multiple (expensive) puzzles to solve an additional future puzzle.
very clever design
Pure genius
Ancient Egypt Thermal Detonator... but what really explodes, is your Wallet!
Smashing the hardest puzzles is the way to go ;)
Super erklärt!!👍👍 Richtig gutes video
Danke! 😁
When your clues need to be run through a turing machine lol Edit: oh well i thought itd explode you said it was made by isis!
