Pocket Change puzzle is a series of 4 puzzles (5 puzzles if you include the heart, though its name does not include "pocket") made out of 3D printers by Piker.
The puzzles are all really nicely made and can be taken for puzzling on holidays as they are pretty small.
No need to say that all the puzzles are different from each other in terms of solution.
I will try to put a difficulty for each of them out of 5. It's subjective for sure. 1 being the easiest and 5 the most difficult.
This is a very tricky puzzles, easy to repeat, that has stumped many puzzlers (including me!). Actually I had ideas but I was a bit reluctuant to perform them due ot the nature of these puzzles. The solution proved me that I was right.
It does not require a lot of steps but these are addictive and you will, I am sure at 100%, perform them many times...It's satisfying :)
This is a famous kind of puzzles that everyone knows put in a pocket size. Usually I am not that good at these puzzles, but I found Pocket Change Yellow to be fu and not that difficult. And you get some parts revealed, no blind navigation here :)
The coin is the only thing of this puzzle that come out of the box. No small pices. So you can take is safely with you on a train or plane.
Let's start with a fact: it's my less favourite puzzle among the whole series as you don't see or uderstand precisely what you're doing. Bits come off not knowing why...then you get the "how" to get it back question to your mind coming up!....
I managed to solve it but with luck I guess. Still a nice puzzle....for seasoned puzzlers !!
Difficulty: 5/5
It's the latest pocket change puzzle and probably my favourite puzzle in terms of look among the whole series. Hidden tricks will puzzle you a bit and you should quickly understand how it works. At the beginning I had assumptions that could have been true but ended up being false. I guess many would have had the same assumptions....only the ones who tried the puzzle can understand :)
I like the rattling of the marbles :)
Definitely recommended !!

It's not part of the pocket puzzle, but Piker sold it along with them so I guess I should add it as well.
I think the goal of the designer was to create a puzzle for a wedding, easy enough so that people with any puzzle experience can solve and enjoy the puzzle.
It's not a new kind of mechanism, but I still enjoy it though. And for sure you can bring to friends for them to try it. While being pretty easy, it's not trivial though. And it took me some time because either I did not fully applied the precise steps or I tried something completely different.
