Hey Chris, amazing video as always, but I have a suggestion to make, when there are places that are difficult to show on camera because the angle is difficult or there isn't a lot of light instead of trying to show to the viewers take a picture of the drawing, clue or whatever you want to show and display it like a picture in picture for a moment while you continue solving! Keep up the incredible work!
Feel there was more that needed to be done. Looks like the coin with the square hole goes to the scorpion. He just did not explore the scorpion at all. Plus never found the jaguar. Need to to do a reexplore this amazing puzzle
Thank you Chris! I noticed the gold coin found under Jesse's previous Sea Chest puzzle looks like it may also fit this, pointing to more symbols. The larger medallion must have a purpose too
I noticed this, too. Especially since there was also a small hole on the same coin as the square hole I would have put the coin on the square leg and tried turning it with the spear in the small hole.
Has anyone talked about the coin having a square hole and the scorpion having a square peg. I wonder if the coin was placed on it if it would turn and something new would happen
Also there are like gears on the outer ring of the coin. As like for the inner ring compartment of the small ring close to the gem. It seems like they were same material as well.
I think where he pressed the “spear” to pop the gem out. When he passes the light on that back panel it looks like jaguar print. At least that’s my thought
That was cooler than the $30,000 chest. My favorite so far, hands down and by a mile. I think it was the fact that it had the "Indiana Jones" themed treasure hunt with the "Ancient Maya/Aztec" aesthetic vibe kicking PLUS the fact you actually got some treasure at the end with the nice gem! I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that is an actual fasceted precious gemstone of some value. *EDIT:* Jesse's website says the gem is real, it's a type of Irradiated Quartz called "Citrine" (i.e. does not occur in nature). Would have been really sick if it was Fire Opal though, since Fire Opal comes from South/Central America and was precious to the Aztec and Maya. (I dated a gemologist for 3 years back in the day, learned a lot from her). It is also yellow or orange. Emerald would be cool too, but probably too expensive. *EDIT #2 : PLEASE POST THE FINAL SOLVE OF THIS PUZZLE!!* from a quick review of the comments, you missed the final solve! Comments say it was dealing with the scorpion and the cog-wheel thing and there is still more to solve! Would love to see the "final secret" in an update video! Thanks Chris, Cheers mate! 🍻
@@joshuamidgette4846 Yes, I knew about the irradiated ammy, but most folks I've seen who purport to have "citrine" actually have iron stained quartz or just very yellow smokey quartz. (hence, irradiated naturally). The way I understand it, the only the iron chromophore in citrine can be natural is if a quartz deposit or vein is also located in a pegmatite with radioactive minerals, and I suppose that's more than probable...
better stone would be Tsarite or Zultanite - they are diasapores from turkey that actually change color depending on the wavelengths of light they reflect - I have some of them from mexico that are green in flourescent, orange in LED and pink in sunlight!
lots of close up details with this puzzle I love it. Maybe in the future get a USB microscope or different lens for those close up macro shots if you can.
This is hands down already the best puzzle I've seen on your channel. I love the concept, the craftsmanship is on another level. This is a piece of art you want to display, it being a puzzle is just a plus.
When you opened the door to the scorpion it looked like the claws could hold the coin. I wonder if you placed the coin there then closed the door would it do something else or open another door? Wow, out of 10 on looks it is easily 200. That is an awesome puzzle. So loved watching you solve this on. It has to be in the top 5 puzzles you've solved.
Immediately as you pulled that thing out, I went completely starstruck! I´ve seen you handle some puzzles before, but this is on another level right from the get-go! I love it so much before you even touched it! What a beautiful puzzle! Now, what I love about your channel, is the way you question yourself along the path to a solution. I dunno if this make any sense, but what I want to know, is how do you find these solutions? So, as you talk your way through a puzzle, that is what I like the most - this glimpse into how your mind works and how it allows you to eventually conquer these puzzles. Thanks a lot for all of your content so far!
@@Joze1090 Obviously - and I think it makes for a better video as well. I like to get the comments as well though - I don´t think he fakes all that, just that he tries to recreate it.
Really loved this one, it's pretty simple, kind of easier, but a great adventure, loved the clues and the part popping/shifting around. The best part is the art definitely, tons of tiny little details.
What a beautiful piece of art... all the time and the thought that has gone into this puzzle is amazing. Everything from the symbols to the scorpion that is carved and the super dope metal coin, its just pure awesomeness. Puzzles with tools like the spear are always soo fun and awesome too.. super cool. Amazing craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing man!
Banger soundtrack on the intro! I'm guessing the 10 of hearts is somehow attached to the cap and goes out with it, specially how you pull it up vertically. So much detail in that puzzle box!
So there was a coin with a square hole in the center (14:51)...and a scorpion with a square peg sticking out of it (23:28)...yet these two features never came together. I wouldn't have been able to resist putting the coin on the peg.
Gorgeous puzzle, I loved it even though I didn’t always understand how or why it was proceeding. I just wish we could have seen the inside/darker areas better and more often & for slightly longer. ❤
On many of these boxes, I really wished, the maker would explain, what they had in mind. What part of the box was a hint... and what part of the box was just decoration.
The box includes a link to Jesse going through the solution, only real hint mentioned is that the symbols on the bottom are a clue for where to start. The rest of the puzzle is pretty self explanitory TBH, although the use of spear to wind back the spring loaded part was a complete fluke for me to work out. Would say that Chris does seem to "stumble" on some of the steps with suspicious regularity, first step being case in point. The sliding part is invisible on my copy of this puzzle and doesnt slide as easy, took me quite a while to "stumble" on it.
Hi Chris, I’ve been watching you solve puzzles for awhile now and it’s put the bug in me to do one myself. So i went to the puzzle site in your info and bought not ONE but SIX puzzles. my first experience with puzzle boxes was when i was about 9. My mom was given a Chinese puzzle box and i just loved it. I played with it until i figured it out. So you’ve reignited my love of puzzle boxes and i couldn’t just watch anymore. I’m so excited to get them. I’m having surgery soon and will spend a couple nights in the hospital and i figured this would be a cool way to pass the time. Thanks for the inspiration..
You haven't completely solved Sundial yet! There's still a secret to uncover 😏 By far Sundial is my most favorite puzzle. It looks phenomenal and the experience is fantastic!
I absolutely LOVE tricks that make you THINK you have it figured out, and then show you you’re wrong without telling you. (My favorites are the ones that do that repeatedly with every option you can think of for how something is done only to disprove them one by one and leave your mind blown)
Very cool puzzle. I enjoyed the video. I feel like it wasn't clear a bunch of times what you did to progress to the next puzzle. I don't know what that wooden disk with the square hole did or what using the spike in the top hole while dragging did. I think knowing what you know now, it might be nice to have a second solve where you only do what is necessary and explain it.
I really like how excited you get when doing these puzzles- where as I think some people would google “help” or have a few raging moments of frustration- it’s awesome to watch someone have patience and fun the whole time doing these ! Have you ever had friends, who haven’t done these before you, try them? If so are they able to get it within 30-45 min ? Would take me that long to read the symbols and get my mind organized lol
I wish I could afford puzzles like this. It's very nice and well built. I love the texture and feeling of this puzzle. It makes me feel like you are treasure hunter.
Was wondering with the scorpion it had a square coming out from it...was wondering if the first wooden coin fits on it any maybe turn.....second what was with the big metal coin????
I like these videos so much more than the $30,000 puzzle box videos because I get to buy them for myself and share these wonderful creations with others! Jesse is truly a master of puzzles.
what would be a trip is there is a series of puzzles of this nature from each major ancient civilization ( Egypt, Mayan, Aztec, Japanese etc) that are individual puzzles but the last one requires you have all of the puzzles to solve it... Hints tools etc that are combined from the first ones to be used on the final ones solution.... and to make things even more wicked, one of the final puzzles gem is a real gem, lets say they release 500 finals and 499 use cubic zirconias and the last one uses a real diamond.... it would be one hell of a sales pitch
This is definitely one of the best puzzles I've seem on this channel. It has everything, it looks beautiful and intriguing, it has incredible mechanical elements, veriaty in the solving steps , a good prize and I like how the prize is always in view from the beginning. It looks like it was just taken straight from an ancient tomb.
Nice hat! I had to rewind a time or two to find out where the 10 of hearts went but I figured it out. This is probably my favorite puzzle I've seen you do, the theme is on point.
Nice. I feel like you bumbled your way through the puzzle without using the clues or codes though. Still a work of art though, and captivating to watch. Peace
Chris kills me. "Hey guys I found two things on the sides, but I am going to keep spinning on the top with no clue what anything means." Guy, if you found two compartments on the sides, it makes sense there are probably more on the side/bottom.
Chris, I agree with you! This was so awesome and kept you in suspence the whole time. Your puzzles keep getting better and better. Love your intros too. Thanks Chris, can't wait to see your next video. Be safe! Regards, Myk
Banging intro 🔥... Excellent card trick...🤟 A beautiful puzzle 🙏🏻... And an excellent solve 👊... I mean, what's not to love about this video🤷♂ Cheers for sharing Chris 🙏🏻
Come on that Card trick was lame not smooth at all how he handed the hat the second card was attached to meh not a patch on nearly any other magician on here... But Chris is a great personality for sure and the puzzles he presents are amazing of course
Man, Tip Of The Fedora to you Jesse, The Ancient Mayan Sundial Puzzle is one gnarliest darn puzzles I've seen in a while, your craftmanship, trippy as symbols you've molded, and the design of each of the unlocking mechanics and trappings that you have put into this puzzle is off the charts riveting. Chur Chris.
Thinking about this again, I am wondering if you discovered everything about the puzzle. The note said the writer died by the scorpion's sting. It was important enough to be in the only written clue. You also found a heavy metal coin which did not have an apparent use. If you did the wrong move would the scorpion have locked the box? Maybe the coin was the key to unlock it?
Ha ha ha loved the intro Chris! One look at that new puzzle and I'm pausing for refreshment, munchies, and a p, this looks frikken awesome! All I can say now I'm done is WOW! what a beautifully ornate and tricky puzzle, I'd be days or more on something like that, but even now I know how to do it I'd still have that displayed as a work of art. Great video, good to see you show up it always makes my day watching and good puzzling by ya.
I love the card trick where you have 2 cards in the glass back to back and 1 card taped to the hat. You turn the glass to reveal each card but give the illusion that it changes every time then when you completely remove the hat you take one of the cards with you leaving only one card making people believe it was magic the whole time.
The card wasn’t taped to the hat it was attached to a string and the string was attached to the hat, you could even see the 10 go up and down a little bit in the glass, and when he pulled the hat away he pulled the 10 away connected to the string.
Love your content, Chris. Part of the fun is seeing how you solve things differently than I would. You just genuinely enjoy puzzles, and it's great that you make such high quality videos that show a process of discovery and deduction. Keep it up, brother!
For those of you confused at the first trick, it works exactly as he shows, just turning the glass. The red card is attached to the hat and so when he pulls the hat straight up, it takes the card with it.
Great Video! I love these puzzles! Not sure if it was intentional or not, but the timing of that music when you pulled out the slate of the gem was perfection!
A truly beautiful puzzle you've created there; it was a joy to see. May you tell me though if it wasn't quite completed as I'm sure (just my observation), a step was missed? Thank you in advance ☺️
That still requires thinking, without knowing how it works you have to think where things go and slot in. Much puzzle solving is clues be it following a guide, or matching symbols to see what to go for next.
This is one beautiful puzzle. Just looking at gives me chills. Whoever crafted the box is one master of his trade or their trade if more than one and the designer is just wow to have that concept come to life. Defiantly one of the best puzzles and that’s an achievement with all the fantastic puzzles you’ve solved ❤
That was by far one of the best puzzles you've solved in a long time. Yet it feels unfinished? The large coin has grooves on the outer edge, like a gear would. Could that be used as a tool somewhere? I know you enjoy magic as well. I hope you can find a balance between them instead of feeling like you are neglecting one for the other. You can have more than one channel here. :-) And yes, teach the tricks to those who want to learn.
That box is incredible. The sheer joy and wonder to experience something like that first hand must be unreal. Basically “The Room” contraptions in real life. It would make my decade to own, or even just try, something like that. it looks like you might have skipped multiple puzzles, and just got lucky at the end maybe? there were so many unused elements and symbols that looked like they were leading us through a narrative. Maybe that was part of it though? to throw the user off, send us down dead ends or something?.. idk infinitely cool though, keep doing you thing man, great videos!
I'm not satisfied at all! There were so many diagrams and only 1 of them were used! The writings weren't used at all, instead he happened on reference points but had no relevance clarified. And of three items, again only one was used! The disk was found but then left behind and forgotten in an unexplained slot, while the larger disk was only ever found near the end and never used at all! It feels more like you happened on the solution!
I typically watch these on my TV, but was watching this on my phone and found myself tilting my phone (like when you move while playing a video game) lol! So I like the previous idea of picture in picture for hard to see parts of the puzzle.
The mechanism that lifted up to allow you to get the gem…..I wonder if you flipped the puzzle over while it’s raised could the coin possibly fit in the hole in the center like a cog?😮
I think you still missed a part of the puzzle, the little coin has a square hole which will fit on that little button you pushed, I think you can also rotate the pin with the coin for something.
That would be a great way to propose to a person who loves puzzles! use the gem as a center gem on the ring, or have them pop or the gem and as they oogle over it you get the ring ready. such a great puzzle.

Hey Chris, amazing video as always, but I have a suggestion to make, when there are places that are difficult to show on camera because the angle is difficult or there isn't a lot of light instead of trying to show to the viewers take a picture of the drawing, clue or whatever you want to show and display it like a picture in picture for a moment while you continue solving!

Love that idea. Or even a headlamp, if not your idea.
fucking baf Idea 💡
Good idea
I love all your videos Chris!!
Great idea!!
Feel there was more that needed to be done. Looks like the coin with the square hole goes to the scorpion. He just did not explore the scorpion at all. Plus never found the jaguar. Need to to do a reexplore this amazing puzzle
I believe he found the jaguar at 12:17 but didn't do much with the scorpion either way...
Lot of trial and error, actually using more clues from the images would have been cool.
Agree, he mostly just twists and turns everything until something opens.
Thank you Chris! I noticed the gold coin found under Jesse's previous Sea Chest puzzle looks like it may also fit this, pointing to more symbols. The larger medallion must have a purpose too
I noticed this, too. Especially since there was also a small hole on the same coin as the square hole I would have put the coin on the square leg and tried turning it with the spear in the small hole.
This is one of the most beautiful puzzles you have ever solved. What a craftmanship. So detailed. Piece of art.
Solved? Yeah, right.
@@bertrandcroft6644 huh?
Has anyone talked about the coin having a square hole and the scorpion having a square peg. I wonder if the coin was placed on it if it would turn and something new would happen
I was thinking the same because he never found the Jaguar. He found the Scorpion so I would assume there's a Jaguar in that puzzle too.
Also there are like gears on the outer ring of the coin. As like for the inner ring compartment of the small ring close to the gem. It seems like they were same material as well.
I don't think you quite solved this. There has got to be one or two more sides. Where is the jaguar/will we get an update on this puzzle solve?
I think where he pressed the “spear” to pop the gem out. When he passes the light on that back panel it looks like jaguar print. At least that’s my thought
That was cooler than the $30,000 chest. My favorite so far, hands down and by a mile. I think it was the fact that it had the "Indiana Jones" themed treasure hunt with the "Ancient Maya/Aztec" aesthetic vibe kicking PLUS the fact you actually got some treasure at the end with the nice gem! I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that is an actual fasceted precious gemstone of some value. *EDIT:* Jesse's website says the gem is real, it's a type of Irradiated Quartz called "Citrine" (i.e. does not occur in nature). Would have been really sick if it was Fire Opal though, since Fire Opal comes from South/Central America and was precious to the Aztec and Maya. (I dated a gemologist for 3 years back in the day, learned a lot from her). It is also yellow or orange. Emerald would be cool too, but probably too expensive.
*EDIT #2 : PLEASE POST THE FINAL SOLVE OF THIS PUZZLE!!* from a quick review of the comments, you missed the final solve!

Citrine does occur in nature, but most gem quality citrine is heat treated amethyst.
UP. for the final
@ralph ralpherson: seems like Chist is too busy at the moment. Have you read/watched the final anywhere?
@@joshuamidgette4846 Yes, I knew about the irradiated ammy, but most folks I've seen who purport to have "citrine" actually have iron stained quartz or just very yellow smokey quartz.

Yeah definitely think he missed something with that to maybe reveal the jaguar that you then stab with the spear
@@Vestkin right he found the scorpion but not the jaguar.

All I can say now I'm done is WOW! what a beautifully ornate and tricky puzzle, I'd be days or more on something like that, but even now I know how to do it I'd still have that displayed as a work of art. Great video, good to see you show up it always makes my day watching and good puzzling by ya.
I love the card trick where you have 2 cards in the glass back to back and 1 card taped to the hat. You turn the glass to reveal each card but give the illusion that it changes every time then when you completely remove the hat you take one of the cards with you leaving only one card making people believe it was magic the whole time.
How could it be taped it’s in the glass
The card wasn’t taped to the hat it was attached to a string and the string was attached to the hat, you could even see the 10 go up and down a little bit in the glass, and when he pulled the hat away he pulled the 10 away connected to the string.
If you would pay notice you can even see the other card when he moves the cap
What an amazing puzzle.. the craftsmanship is exemplary by all means.. what a great solve!!
Oh man if the Alien puzzle is half as beautiful is this 1 im excited. i REALLLLLLY hope it has a H.R. Giger feel to it.
Chris, your and your teams intros have been and will continue to be the best on TH-cam. Not to mention the rest of your content. Keep it up!
Did we find out if the gem was the final piece I thought we had a puzzle on the bottom side too. Still one of the most amazing puzzles!
Love your content, Chris. Part of the fun is seeing how you solve things differently than I would. You just genuinely enjoy puzzles, and it's great that you make such high quality videos that show a process of discovery and deduction. Keep it up, brother!
Do you use a hammer?
@@Michel-7.7.7 I find angle grinders most effective
I felt like this puzzle was partially brute forced.
Attention to detail and the genius required to design and make it work are incredible in this one. Wow
For those of you confused at the first trick, it works exactly as he shows, just turning the glass. The red card is attached to the hat and so when he pulls the hat straight up, it takes the card with it.
yes, I figured that out also.
yeah, you can see at 1:10 the 10 of hearts moves ever so slightly as though it’s attached to the hat. still pretty clever!
That was an amazing puzzle. So nice to watch too! Loved it all the way❣️🤍🥰
Seems really odd that the coin was there to just hide the release mechanism.
This reminded me so so much of The Room series, especially the initial box of the first game. So cool!
Did you kill the jaguar though? I don't remember seeing it.
Bravo to you and the puzzle designer. That has to be one of the coolest videos so far!
Chris you have the dopest intros I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
I love the mechanisms and the Gem at the end ! Thank you Chris for solving this with us. Your amazing.
Didn't the paper mention the treasure chest?
Great Video! I love these puzzles! Not sure if it was intentional or not, but the timing of that music when you pulled out the slate of the gem was perfection!
Thank you for a nice review. This was a collaboration between Robert Yarger and myself.
Alien puzzle coming soon!
A truly beautiful puzzle you've created there; it was a joy to see.
May you tell me though if it wasn't quite completed as I'm sure (just my observation), a step was missed?
Thank you in advance ☺️
@@clairegresswell he indeed missed the 6th compartment.
Amazing puzzle! If you haven't done this yet you should do a puzzle like this on a livestream so we can interact with you live during the solve.
I feel like you didn't really follow the guide and kinda worked out the mechanics and figured it out that way :(
That still requires thinking, without knowing how it works you have to think where things go and slot in. Much puzzle solving is clues be it following a guide, or matching symbols to see what to go for next.
This is one beautiful puzzle. Just looking at gives me chills. Whoever crafted the box is one master of his trade or their trade if more than one and the designer is just wow to have that concept come to life. Defiantly one of the best puzzles and that’s an achievement with all the fantastic puzzles you’ve solved ❤
Awesome ... its like Im watching Nicholas Cage figure out clues in the National Treasure
I’m like you’re just turning the glass. You really thought we didnt see it? Yeahh you knew exactly what you were doing. Love it
That was by far one of the best puzzles you've solved in a long time. Yet it feels unfinished? The large coin has grooves on the outer edge, like a gear would. Could that be used as a tool somewhere? I know you enjoy magic as well. I hope you can find a balance between them instead of feeling like you are neglecting one for the other. You can have more than one channel here. :-) And yes, teach the tricks to those who want to learn.
Read other comments, apparently he missed stuff with the puzzle
That box is incredible. The sheer joy and wonder to experience something like that first hand must be unreal.
Basically “The Room” contraptions in real life. It would make my decade to own, or even just try, something like that.
it looks like you might have skipped multiple puzzles, and just got lucky at the end maybe?
there were so many unused elements and symbols that looked like they were leading us through a narrative.
Maybe that was part of it though? to throw the user off, send us down dead ends or something?.. idk
infinitely cool though, keep doing you thing man, great videos!
I'm not satisfied at all! There were so many diagrams and only 1 of them were used! The writings weren't used at all, instead he happened on reference points but had no relevance clarified. And of three items, again only one was used! The disk was found but then left behind and forgotten in an unexplained slot, while the larger disk was only ever found near the end and never used at all! It feels more like you happened on the solution!
The background music was almost as good as the puzzle, and that was a stellar puzzle!!
That was awesome!! Fun to watch & I am unsure if I could solve it even after watching Chris solve it!
Wouldn't the disk with the square hole have fit on the peg on the scorpion?
Most beautiful Puzzle i've ever seen in every aspect ! The coloring the details the theme the mechanisms, just mind blowing
I typically watch these on my TV, but was watching this on my phone and found myself tilting my phone (like when you move while playing a video game) lol! So I like the previous idea of picture in picture for hard to see parts of the puzzle.
One of the best puzzles I've seen you solve Ramsay. Top 3 I'd say and definitely arguably one.
But what about killing the jaguar? And the middle rotation part?
This puzzle is incredible I love that there are so many compartments
always love your content mate, glad I discovered you on the old youtube... love watching your content... professional stuff
Love puzzles and love watching people solve them great videos keep it up
So Sick Chris! You are the puzzle Man!!!
Your intro's are always superb quality.
Jesse does top quality puzzles. A true master craftsman
The mechanism that lifted up to allow you to get the gem…..I wonder if you flipped the puzzle over while it’s raised could the coin possibly fit in the hole in the center like a cog?😮
I think you still missed a part of the puzzle, the little coin has a square hole which will fit on that little button you pushed, I think you can also rotate the pin with the coin for something.
I remember watching you back in 2018, it’s good to see that your channel is growing ❤
That would be a great way to propose to a person who loves puzzles! use the gem as a center gem on the ring, or have them pop or the gem and as they oogle over it you get the ring ready. such a great puzzle.
I come here for the cinematography now. Top notch, man.
when you get called up to read in front of the class. Chris nails it
as an mechanic myself i'd like to express my highest regard for that build
