Tavern Puzzle

Tavern Puzzle Handcrafted metal disentanglement puzzles created by a Long Island blacksmith. Visit TavernPuzzle.com All the puzzles are handcrafted and individually assembled.

Tavern Puzzles® are reproductions of a type of puzzle traditionally forged by blacksmiths to amuse their friends at country taverns and inns. Keeping with tradition, a museum-trained blacksmith from Long Island has reproduced some of these antique designs as well as his own original designs. Each puzzle is mechanical in nature; removal of the object piece does not rely on force or trickery.

100% Handcrafted in the USA

CASH OUT! A fun way to give a gift of cash or a gift card.

Cash or gift card is placed behind a plexiglass panel. You can see it, but can you get it??

Uses a classic puzzle technique to release a locking mechanism which will allow the panel to be opened.

Instructions included. Cash NOT included.

Our Story

Tavern Puzzles® are reproductions of a type of puzzle traditionally forged by blacksmiths to amuse their friends at country taverns and inns. Keeping with tradition, a museum-trained blacksmith from Long Island has reproduced some of these antique designs as well as his own original designs. Tucker-Jones House, Inc has been providing puzzle fans with challenging entertainment since 1982.

What started in 1982 still continues today. Tavern Puzzles are designed and made in our own shop in New York, on Long Island. Every item is carefully handcrafted, resulting in a consistently high quality product.

We are still a family business, although we are slightly older than we used to be (and probably a bit more eccentric, too!). We love what we do, and hope to keep on at it for many more years.

Thank you! 100% Handcrafted in the USA
