Pin Lock - Unlock the Wisdom of the Pharaohs

Product detailed description

Medium-difficulty wooden puzzle lock shaped like an ancient Egyptian padlock with a pin-tumbler mechanism. Using the included key, slide the colorful wooden blocks inside the clear acrylic case to release the shackle.

The puzzle is based on a real historical invention - the ancient Egyptians were among the first to develop the pin tumbler lock: a wooden bolt with movable pins that dropped into matching holes in the door frame. The lock could only be opened with a specially shaped key that lifted the pins, allowing the bolt to slide. This early security innovation laid the foundation for the locks we still use today.

Part of the True Genius series inspired by ancient civilizations (Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Norse, Aztec, Chinese).
