Wooden Book of Puzzles Has Locks You Have to Solve to Turn The Pages
If you are an avid reader of mystery novels, then you would definitely love this book. Thanks to laser-cutting technology, this wooden book combined two things that will wake your senses — reading and solving puzzles. Codex Silenda: The Book of Puzzles is a five-page book of intricate puzzles that is unlike any other. It is not your typical mystery book.
Codex Silenda was created by industrial designer Brady Whitney. Each page is a unique puzzle that the reader needs to unlock to be able to advance to the next page. The next chapters to the story are also locked by a more difficult puzzle.
The Book of Puzzles revolves around the adventures of Leonardo da Vinci’s apprentice who happened to encounter the puzzle. The Codex serves as a trap to prevent spies and other people from stealing Da Vinci’s works and the only means of escape is by solving the puzzle before Da Vinci returns from his trip.
The First Page is called the Mechanical Iris
It contains the portal that pulls in the apprentice after he attempts to open the puzzle book.
After you've figured your way out of the Mechanical Iris, Rotating Maze welcomes you on the Second Page
To traverse the maze,a peg and a central dais that hides the maze from the user’s view must be used to be able to navigate through.
Geneva Gears Wecome You on Page 3
A Geneva Wheel Mechanism and a series of gears hidden beneath a floor with various channels that run through is part of the next mystery. The six wheels to the gears that must be placed in their order.
Fourth Page is composed of the Paradox Sliders
The fourth page contains fourteen sliders that must be properly aligned in their respective positions to release the bolts that are locked by the holding hooks.
The Final Stage is the Cryptex Lock to Your Escape
Finally, a four rune code of a language unknown must be solved to get your freedom. Solving all the puzzles up to the final page would lead to a reward. That is – if you can.
