Legend of the King

|
Legend of the King is the third instalment in the Sacred Myths and Legends series of puzzles, a sequence of increasingly vexing mind-manglers that must be solved sequentially. Why? Because each one contains clues, hints and codes to help solve subsequent puzzles.
We realize that looking for a hidden scroll in a medieval-style wooden tower sounds slightly geeky, especially when the tower in question is steeped in Arthurian gobbledegook. But trust us, once you've fiddled with Legend of the King for a few minutes you'll be unable to put it down. The scroll is in there somewhere - all you have to do is release it. Aargh!
Release the hidden scroll
Apparently this beautifully crafted puzzle can be solved without any hints at all, but its makers strongly advise you use the fragments and clues acquired from previous puzzles in the series. It's all very Da Vinci Code meets Indiana Jones. The difference is you won't have to avoid any self-flagellating monks or take on the entire Wehrmacht. Which is nice.
What isn't nice, however, is the knuckle-gnawing difficulty level of Legend of the King. We've been attempting to release the pesky scroll for ages and all our pushing, pulling and tilting is getting us nowhere. In fact we're currently giving the highly un-Arthurian smash-to-bits-with-a-claw-hammer-method serious consideration.
Contents
It goes without saying that clever clogs puzzlers who solved Da Vinci's Secret and The Equation will be chomping at the bit to crack this third instalment, but we also think newcomers will be equally engrossed. So hurry up and get ordering - a place at the round table awaits.

This is so hard and so so good! I didn't get the other two puzzles first so I don't have any clues. When I'm not going mental trying to solve it looks really cool on a shelf!

 | Don't Break The Bottle
Amuse and annoy wannabe wine drinkers via these fiendish, bottle brainteasers. Simply lock the vino of your choice in the puzzle's complex clutches and watch as your host struggles to set it free. That's another wine mess you've gotten me into! (Choose from wire or wooden models).

 | Eternity II
If solving puzzles leaves you feeling unfulfilled, how does a $2 million incentive sound? Thought so. All you have to do to collect the spondoolies is complete this wretchedly difficult jigsaw-style brainteaser. Drat!

 | The Equation
The sequel to Da Vinci's Secret, this infuriating wooden puzzle is even more vexing than its predecessor. Arrange the pieces within the boundaries to solve teh puzzle and reveal clues to subsequent puzzles. Sounds easy but its design has been influenced by the work of Galileo, Newton and Einstein. Piece of cake, then. Not.

 | Dao Deluxe
Okay, it's more of a bamboo case than a stick but Dao Deluxe definitely involves stones. This compelling game of strategy combines the simplicity of noughts and tic-tac-toe with the chin-stroking complexity of chess. It also makes you look like him off Kung Fu every time you play.
