DanLock – Expert Sequential Discovery Puzzle
DanLock is a sequential discovery puzzle lock designed by Dan Feldman. Originally created in 1996, it has become one of the best-known modern puzzle locks and is often described as feeling like multiple lock puzzles packed into one.
The objective is to open the lock and then return it to its original state. DanLock includes two keys: one secured by the shackle and another that appears to be broken, setting up a layered challenge that requires careful observation and deduction.
Like others in this lock series, DanLock is made from a real Nabob padlock that has been precision modified into a puzzle lock. The package includes the lock, a fabric bag, and an instruction card.
