Frequently Asked Questions

Just how hard is the Cryptex, really?

The Cryptex opens as soon as the correct sequence of letters is entered. You decide just how tricky it will be, because you set the code. For anyone who doesn't know it, it's a real challenge.

How long does it take to solve it?

Expect it to take 15 to 20 minutes. So it's more of a quick experience than an entire evening of puzzle-solving. How quickly you finish depends on the code you choose.

Do I have to assemble anything?

No, the Cryptex arrives fully assembled. It is handcrafted from high-quality birch wood and is ready to use right away. All you have to do is set the code you want to use.

Can I set the code myself?

Yes, the code can be personalized. This allows you to choose a combination that suits the recipient. That's exactly what makes the Cryptex a personalized gift.

Can it be used more than once or given to someone else?

Yes, the Cryptex is durable and reusable. If someone knows the code, the surprise is ruined for that person, but it works again with a new code. It can also be used as a secure storage place for valuables or displayed as a decorative item.

What is the Cryptex good for as a gift?

It's meant to be a gift within a gift. You hide a surprise in the secret compartment, and the recipient has to figure out the code first. Anyone who enjoys puzzles will enjoy this, too.

Gameplay & Gift Suitability

The joy of puzzle solving and surprise all in one - that's Cryptex.

This unique wooden puzzle, handcrafted from high quality birch wood, is guaranteed fun for up to 20 minutes. Cryptex is the perfect gift within a gift 

  • Unique code for a personalized gift
  • Guaranteed fun for all ages
