The Overtime box is a multiple step box that is likely to challenge the best of puzzlers. The design effort was led by my nephew whose nickname is OT. It’s a good play on words as you may need quite a bit of overtime to solve this one…
We wanted an innovative design that would result in a very challenging, yet fun and attractive box, with enough durability to withstand a typical Escape Room environment. No puzzle box can tolerate excessive force, but this one goes further in that regard that any other I have seen. Note that no force at all is required to solve this. Fingertips and brainpower are all you need…
The box externally measures about 5.2 x 4.2 x 3.4 inches (not counting the dials which extend another .75 inches from one side. Internal space for inserting something is about 4 x 2.8 x 2.3 inches. The internal space has a felt lined bottom.
There are 2 models available that differ only by the artwork. One has the Skull and firefly and the other a Mandala and key which is available on a different listing.

The video will provide some good insight into how the box works, but to protect the solution for those that buy it and want to keep the secret, I do not provide the all the details. Details will come with purchase however.
A lot of our puzzles can be customized with different images, text, symbols and codes.
If you are placing an order for any puzzle which requires a code such as:
- Magnet Maze
- Disk Maze
- Directional Lock Puzzle
- Grille Cipher
- Holey Moley
- Braille Box
Please select "Yes" to customization and Email me the code.
All Magnet Mazes require a code from you, the other puzzles will have a standard code used if a custom code is not selected.
International Orders Please Email me the code at Phil@CreativeEscapeRooms.com
There is not an additional charge for a custom code on Magnet Mazes. There is a small fee for customizing the puzzles.
It is very important to relay codes for mazes and any custom information to me at the time of your order.
I cannot get started until knowing exactly what you want. If I do not have this information it will increase the amount of time it takes for you to have the puzzle in your hands.
If you would like to add images or more extensive customization please contact me prior to placing your order so we can work out the details.
I can also create custom one off props to fit in with the exact needs of your room. If you have an idea please do not hesitate to contact me. We may just be able to bring it to life.
