Colossal: Merging two of the ultimate pastimes—books and puzzles—the Codex Silenda has to be physically solved in order to read it. And no, these aren’t simple word games and math problems, but rather deviously complicated mechanical puzzles crafted from laser-cut wood that are embedded within each part of this 5-page book. The solution to each puzzle physically unlocks the next page. As the reader moves through the book a short story is also revealed, etched on pages opposite the puzzles.
Is anybody from the Euro-Russio HOG studios reading this?
I can’t even solve tic-tac-toe. How’m I supposed to read that book?
I love Chinese puzzle boxes.
It’s beautiful!
I used to make those things with my scroll saw. Would I lie?
Sorry. That is absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
I finally had a chance to look at this; too cool.
Reminds me of those Deconstruct puzzles.
Looks like if you fell asleep in bed reading this, it could kill you.
