Complete with insertable Super Mario Bros. cartridge. Don't forget to blow first. LEGO's Nintendo Entertainment System drops on August 1, 2020, and even as someone who's not a Zack, Zack LEGO Maniac I gotta say, LEGO...

This 3D Wood Tetris Puzzle caught my eye because tonight for dinner I had takeout teriyaki and played Jeopardy! with Alexa, and one thing I learned is I really suck at Jeopardy! with Alexa. Oh, and also that the Shakespearean...

Craighill's tagline is "Nurturing curiosity by design," and I think those words are as simple and elegant as the Craighill Desk Knife we saw a couple years ago, and the Craighill Venn Puzzle before us now...

Rich at Boise Woodworks doesn't need many ingredients to cook up his handmade wood yo-yos, but like any great chef, his skill in combining and finessing them make the prepared dish magic. Or, in the yo-yos' case, magic...

Huh. The Bonk: The Fast Rolling Ricochet Game I play doesn't look anything like this. Well, I guess my version occasionally involves metal balls, but they're usually strung together more like a necklace and...well...nevermind...

Now this may come as a shock to you, but I have never told a lie. Ouch! That just came as a shock to me. Hold on, let me turn this thing off. Now as I was saying, no matter the cost, I sink my teeth into the truth and...motherf-!...

I'll always have at least $1 to my name with the Dollar Bill Speed Cube. Even better, if I learn to complete the 3 x 3 x 3 puzzle in a respectable amount of time, maybe I can turn it into a viable side hustle. Or if I'm...

Cereal and puzzles have already featured prominently in my life these past several weeks, but now! I can join their forces and go all Voltron with my entertainment. And, like Voltron, this Mini Cereal Boxes puzzle pack...

Sling Puck can teach us a life lesson about compromise, kids. Maybe Mama and Pop told you no firing slingshots in the house. And then when you put down your pellets and Pocket Shot and picked up your puck and stick, they...
