Cactus Cube was my first attempt at combining two different types of puzzles. I wanted to see how well I could incorporate a 3D packing puzzle with a SD/Sequential Movement type puzzle.

The “trick” part of the puzzle isn’t difficult, but the packing portion can definitely provide a challenge to some.

Goal: Pack the box with the 3D pieces and then “plant” your cactus.

This design idea was expanded into a sequel called Prickly Pack.
