Looking Back to 2021

Hello puzzle lovers!

There is only less than a month left this year.
We are working on new puzzles, but they are hard to be completed this year, so our next puzzles will be released in 2022. We will notify you when they are ready by sending a newsletter.

So, as usual, let's look back on what we released in 2021.
In total, we have produced 10 puzzles this year.

In March, we released these three puzzles. Most of our puzzles are difficult to solve, but I think Bumpy Pentominoes is the one that can be played easily and enjoyed by everyone for a challenge.

In May, we released these two puzzles.

In July, we released a sequential discovery puzzle. This puzzle looks like an ordinary cube, but it contains some tools and some mechanism that trick you.

In October, we released these four puzzles. Grooved 6 Board Burrs are a type of puzzle that Juno has been working on and this time, it finally reached No.5 and No.6. I am not sure whether he is going to make No.7. Probably, he is.

We will make enjoyable puzzles that can make puzzle lovers happy next year too.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season from Juno and Yukari.

21st Auction Results

We held an eBay auction and it ended on 2nd October. This time, we put up 4 kinds of puzzles for a total of 7 puzzles. The winning bids are as follows:

• Grooved 6 Board Burr #5 (2nd grade 1 of 2) AUD $88.00

• Level 5 Board Burr (1 of 2) AUD $94.00

The total sales amount was AUD $589.00 and as we promised, we have donated about half of the total sales amount. It was AUD $294.50, so we rounded it up and donated AUD $300.00 to AWLQ on Tuesday. Here is the receipt.

Actually, there has been technical issues with our eBay account that prevented us from receiving payment via eBay, but anyway, it was a good excuse to meet fluffy friends at the animal shelter, so we headed to the nearest AWLQ.

There were only three cats. They seemed to be having too much time on their paws and we were welcomed.

I heard many people adopted dogs and cats after lockdown started. Therefore, there weren't many dogs and cats at the facility. I hope those people who adopted pets during the lockdown won't abandon their pets because the lockdown is now over.
