The following pictures and text should help give you a better idea of how these cool little puzzle boxes work.

The first move (pictured above) is pretty classic. A well hidden sliding panel must be found. This panel is then slid out about a centimeter from the box. This allows for the next move.

Here is where we had problems. After the panel is slid back, you have to hold all four sides of the box. Then pull up on the two sides to the left and right of the panel. They will both move up about two centimeters. This is because they are one piece! The box is essentially made up of two sections build around each other.

Once you have pulled the side(s) up, you can move the sliding panel all the way off in the opposite direction.

A mechanical puzzle is a self-contained object, composed of one or more parts, which involves a problem for one person to solve by manipulation using logic, reasoning, insight, luck, and/or dexterity.” - Jerry Slocum
