Travel to the cradle of civilization and test your wits against one of the greatest innovations in history: the Egyptian pin lock. Inspired by the original pin mechanism developed in ancient Egypt, this clever puzzle challenges you to harness the same ingenuity that once protected the treasures of the pharaohs.
The original design used a wooden bolt and a series of vertical pins that clicked into place, locking the door until a specially designed key raised them. This early security system laid the foundation for the modern locks we use today.
Your mission? Align the pins and unlock the bolt using only the tools provided. A simple concept and a stimulating challenge, perfect for ages 8 and up. The Egyptian Pin Lock combines historical brio with modern puzzle fun, providing a unique, screen-free experience for curious minds and budding engineers.
Can you decode the lock that guarded the treasures of ancient Egypt?
