Cluebox is an interactive puzzle box full of tricky locks. Solve all the puzzles to open the box!

Story

The Cluebox is an interactive wooden puzzle box assembled by hand. It contains a great variety of puzzles, which have to be solved one after the other in order to open all the locks and reach the secret space inside of the box. Pretty much like an escape room game in a handheld box! The solution to each puzzle is based on logical conclusion, not on randomness.

This year we are excited to offer you our most challenging puzzle – Cluebox PRO Sherlock’s Camera! With every new Cluebox our community is getting more experienced and sophisticated in solving our puzzles, so we at iDventure do our best to keep you challenged through inventing the finest mechanisms and using new materials such as magnets and marbles.

Containing more than 300 elements, Cluebox PRO Sherlock’s Camera is bringing the gameplay to a completely new advanced level of puzzle solving to please even the most enthusiastic puzzle fans. Sherlock’s Camera has more locks and mechanisms than the previous Clueboxes, and the estimated solution time of the Cluebox PRO is almost twice as long!


*The Cluebox comes assembled. The tripod is enclosed as a wooden kit to assemble yourself.

London 2023. During the inventory in Scotland Yard archives, an unclaimed parcel dated 1914 was discovered. Upon unwrapping, an object resembling a camera was revealed. However, the camera contained enigmatic symbols and locks instead of the common mechanism. The following note was enclosed:

Handwriting examination and other solid evidence helped to determine that the parcel was sent by none other than Sherlock Holmes! No one at Scotland Yard has succeeded in solving the detective’s last mystery. Now we are passing the enigmatic camera on to you.

We are convinced you will be able to solve the puzzle and reveal the identity of Sherlock Holmes’ successor!

Here is what bloggers say about our first Cluebox PRO:

Mr. Puzzle (@Mr.Puzzle): “For me it was the most tricky Cluebox I have solved so far! But even though it takes some time to solve it, you are constantly in progress, solving the tasks step by step and not being stuck for too long. The Cluebox team are doing an excellent job, increasing the complexity, and also inventing new appearances for every new puzzle box!”

Cuby (@CubyPuzzles): “It is the best escape room box I have tried, including all the other brands. The number of puzzles is impressive, and they don’t feel repetitive like in other boxes. Additionally, the small details combined with the beautiful aesthetics of the old camera, make it perfect.”

Every backer is important to us, regardless of location. The reality is that shipping and sales taxes are expensive. To offset this we worked with our shipping partners to get the best conditions for our backers on Indiegogo. Here are the conditions that we can offer to different regions.

Please note that shipping is not included in the fee for the perks and will be charged after the end of the campaign for your perks and any additional copies added on.

The shipping is duty-free to the European Union, the UK, the USA, Australia and Canada.

We cannot guarantee customs-friendly shipping in areas outside of the EU, UK, US, Australia and Canada. There may be additional duties and/or fees charged by your country’s governmental agencies and/or shipping partners. Those fees are solely your responsibility, and we can neither cancel a shipped pledge nor will we pay those fees. In case a package is returned or destroyed due to the non-payment of such fees, your pledge will be considered fulfilled.

Risks and challenges

This is our fourth Indiegogo campaign as iDventure Team and the sixth Cluebox that we will produce. Our previous 3 pre-order campaigns had more than 10000 supporters with thousands of boxes shipped to over 30 countries. Having gained valuable experience during the last four years we are confident to start the shipping in time. In case of unexpected delays, we will maintain clear and open communication with our supporters to keep them informed.
