A hundred years ago, one talented engineer created Enigma, the first cipher device in history. It took about 20 years to hack its secrets. Nowadays, WoodTrick engineers created Enigma Chest – a wooden 3d constructor inspired by that legendary cipher machine. Do you accept the challenge? :)

Decryption of Enigma used to bring an era of computers

The code of Enigma was so hard that no one could crack it until Alan Turing developed a special deciphering machine. This is how early computers started. By the way, Turing is often considered to be a father of modern computer science. So, Enigma may very well be Grandma!

This model is designed as a chest with a «secret» – there is a combination lock on the cover.

The lock has 5 fields with different symbols. When you put the symbols in the right order, the cover can be opened. To find the symbols needed, you should unlock all mechanisms, which are hidden in the chest sides.

Enigma Chest is a handcrafted wooden 3d model from WoodTrick “Mechanisms” series. It has more than 500 components and includes different mechanical principles, so hours and hours of real engineering joooooooy are guaranteed! The Enigma Chest wooden constructor will bring nice time for clever assembly lovers and make a great present for puzzle enthusiasts.

Just a quick reminder: in WoodTrick we do not make models with the easiest level of complexity. Enigma Chest has level 4, so the assembly will make a real cipher adventure. The design is simple and minimalistic, but the mechanical filling is truly impressive! You’ll challenge with a gear system, planetary gear, racks, springs, lever mechanisms and others.

The set includes comprehensive instructions for assembling the puzzle. It explains how and in what order you should connect the parts, step by step. Each component of the Enigma Chest 3d wooden model is constructed of sustainable plywood. You won't need glue or any other additional supplies to complete it.

Enigma Chest is a fun puzzle for everyone, who is excited by ciphers, mysteries and engineering challenges. Once the model is put together, it can be displayed on your desk or added to a collection. And, of course, you can put your secrets in the Enigma Chest.
