Squeezy — A Box You Can Only Close With the Right Moves

Squeezy looks simple: two frame parts and a set of internal pieces. But here’s the twist—once the pieces are inside, you can only “squeeze” the box shut if you find the correct configuration and execute a few surprisingly fancy moves.
If you assemble it the obvious way, nothing lines up. If you brute-force it, the box won’t close. The real challenge is discovering the one clever sequence that allows the parts to lock together smoothly.

A compact, elegant mechanical puzzle that rewards patience and spatial thinking.

Details

• Designer: Theo Geerinck & Symen Hovinga

• Size: 40 × 70 × 55 mm

• Difficulty: Medium

• Goal: Fit all internal pieces into the box in the correct orientation, then “squeeze” the frame shut.

This puzzle technically allows unintended solutions if you flex the frame or force the piesyces. That’s not how the designers intended it to be solved. For the proper solution, no bending or deformation should be used—just correct positioning and clean mechanical movements.
