MatchBox Puzzlebox – Mini Puzzle with Hidden Compartment

At first glance, it’s just a familiar matchbox. Small. Innocent. Ordinary.
But hidden inside is a cleverly designed labyrinth that turns this everyday object into a satisfying mechanical puzzle.

To get the matches out of the MatchBox Puzzlebox, you must guide the inner tray through 14 precise moves, navigating a concealed path step by step. One wrong decision leads to a dead end — and the only way forward is to rethink your strategy and try again. The puzzle isn’t brutally difficult, but it will make you pause, experiment, and smile when everything finally clicks.

Once opened, the MatchBox reveals a tiny hidden compartment, perfect for storing a small note, token, or other flat secret. This subtle feature adds an extra layer of charm and makes the puzzle feel complete despite its miniature size.

Designed by Jeroen Kruit, this miniature puzzle captures everything great about his work: smart mechanics, clean design, and a playful sense of misdirection. Despite its tiny size, the MatchBox delivers a complete puzzle experience and makes a perfect desk object that instantly invites curiosity.

Like all creations from 2222pzzls, it’s both a thoughtful brain teaser and a beautiful collector’s piece.

Deceptive. Ingenious. Addictive.
Have fun opening the MatchBox.
