Travel back to the cradle of civilization and test your mind against one of history’s greatest innovations: the Egyptian Pin Lock. Based on the original pin tumbler mechanism developed in ancient Egypt, this clever puzzle challenges you to harness the same ingenuity that once protected pharaohs' treasures.

The original design used a wooden bolt and a series of vertical pins that dropped into place—locking the door until a specially crafted key lifted them. This early security system laid the foundation for the modern locks we use today.

Your mission? Align the pins and unlock the bolt using only the tools provided. It’s a simple concept with a satisfying challenge, perfect for ages 8 and up. The Egyptian Pin Lock blends historical brilliance with modern puzzle fun, offering a unique, screen-free experience for curious minds and budding engineers.
