Description

“The Butterfly” is a challenging mechanical puzzle with a satisfying fidgety action. It works both as a compact tactile fidget toy and a serious brain teaser—perfect for fans of Rubik’s Cubes and other mechanical puzzles looking for something new.

Push the beads through the curved tracks and rotate the colored dial to scramble or solve the puzzle. Both solving and absent-minded fidgeting surprisingly addictive.

This puzzle is essentially a "double Pretzel" - you'll have to solve two intertwined Pretzel puzzles at once. It requires careful planning, mental rotation, and the ability to manage two interdependent systems at once.

Sharpen your spatial problem solving and positive/negative space awareness. The perfect gift for students, teachers or fans of math, engineering, computer science and STEM.
Objective

Group the beads by color: one color on the left and the other on the right.

Can you think of any interesting alternate solutions?
Difficulty Level: 6/10

Likely too challenging for a total beginner, the Butterfly is a great step up from the Pretzel. It's significantly more challenging but still approachable intuitively - without using formal sequences or algorithms.


3D printed in PLA, a durable plant-based thermoplastic. Keep away from intense heat and don't store in direct sunlight.

⚠️Safety notice: While balls remain securely in tracks under normal use (and our thorough drop testing), deliberate misuse (e.g. prying with tools) may dislodge them, creating a choking hazard. Not suitable for children. Ages 14+.
