A Puzzling Release!

We are very excited to bring you two new pocket puzzles: the Tangram, and the Crescent Optical Illusion Puzzle! 

Hand holding Shire Post Mint's solid copper Tangram puzzle completed and in box

The Tangram Puzzle has been cherished for centuries, enhancing critical thinking skills, weaving stories through creative visuals, and expanding imaginations across the globe. Originating sometime during late 18th century China, the tangram is a dissection puzzle made up of seven polygons that you can create thousands of different shapes with. Part of the fun is figuring out how to use every piece to create the shape you want! 

Open box next to Tangram Puzzle pieces

Our Tangram Puzzle is struck from solid copper and arrives with a wooden box that fits every piece inside for simple, everyday carry. You can take it with you anywhere you need some puzzling to do!

Our Optical Illusion Puzzle is a true Shire Post original, hand-crafted with mischievous intent to challenge your mind. 

Hands putting bronze optical illusion together

Six bronze pieces twist together into a fun brain teaser that'll keep you re-shuffling, reconfiguring, and perhaps even swearing a little along the way.
