This buy was a long shot for me. I had this plan for a fun holiday scavenger hunt for my wife, but I didn't want to spend $200 of our Christmas present limit on what would essentially be another clue. So, I did a little digging and I found this smaller, cheaper version. At $50 (when I bought it), this cryptex was a steal. It is only about an inch or so smaller than the expensive version, and isn't as intricately designed, but if you just want a fun puzzle box to hide notes and stuff in, you can't go wrong.
It is made of sturdy metal (die cast), and despite plastic dials, does not feel cheap. The code is really easy to set, and if you're anything like me, you'll change it a lot just for the fun of messing with it.
I don't see any other reviews for this particular item yet, so if you have any questions about it, feel free to comment and I'll try to get back to you. It really is a nice alternative to the more expensive version.

A nice item but not worth the cost
Hi there,I hope you are well.I really like the idea. I was inspired by Seth Skorkowski and I use it when I DM for my players. My complaint is that the quality is just so bad. I don't know if it shows on the picture, but the paint is already smudging off and the tiny screwdriver which came with it was useless. I had to use my own. Furthermore one of the screws was damaged which made it even harder to use. I think in the U.S. this costs ca 50$, but since I live in Sweden I had to pay close to 100$. In conclusion, wonderful idea, just not worth the price.Sincerely,Alicia from Sweden
