Today I’ll be attempting to solve a one of a kind custom-made puzzle by martin Raynsford. This puzzle idea was given to Martin last year and he absolutely absolutely Ran with the idea of using AI. The programming in this and the artwork and this is all inspired by artificial intelligence. Thanks for watching and enjoy !

That was awesome, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.
The morse code is valid for anyone that wants to play along at home.
I'm slightly saddened by the mouse, when you complete the maze puzzle on the top of the box he moves out from his compartment to make it easier to grab.
Great job on this puzzle !!! And an extra gold star for the lazy Susan . :)
will this ever be available to buy?? i was ready to give You all of my money.
Amazing puzzle
You're the best!
Amazing work - such a cool puzzle 🤟👏👏👏
I had the pleasure of play testing this! I properly geeked out when he said 'it's for Chris Ramsay' LOL been excitedly awaiting this video - I loved this!
Interesting handle. :/
Holy moly
@@creageousI will pray for you tonight, when I’m sitting in my pentagram to summon his infernal majesty 😈 you’re welcome.
@@creageous What of it?
@@creageous What's it to you? I don't even look at usernames anymore.
One of the best puzzle boxes you've done so far, beautiful craftsmanship.
Thank you! Cheers!

The Room is one of *the best* Puzzle games and it brings me joy to hear Chris Ramsey talk fondly of it.
yeah, and if you haven't been able to yet, the Room VR is a very solid entry, probably my favorite. I feel like the room games have only gotten better with each release, but that's based on my own internal balance of telegraphing what you CAN interact with. I like puzzles, I don't like looking for a magic pixel that doesn't stand out that I can interact with.
Any suggestions on other games that live up to the room series? I tried a few, and I wont bad mouth them by name but they didn't the spot for me.
@@mikefisher4051 It isn't QUITE the same thing because it also includes plenty of exploration, but I feel like any fan of mechanical puzzles owes it to themselves to go through the Myst series, with Riven in particular being the best (and it just got an absolutely outstanding remake). They also tend to involve more lateral thinking and note-taking than the Room series, which often tend towards fairly simple "find the hidden button by looking for mismatched wood grain" tricks (and I agree that The Room VR is the best one, for me primarily because it gets away from this sort of design a bit).
"I did not solve it, I did nhot!
Oh, hi Chris"
Yeah I just bought The Room 4 and beat it recently and man do I love that franchise
@@mikefisher4051
I still haven't played A Dark Matter because I need a VR set.
I love how he becomes super silent every time something pops out or he finds something new to decipher. He enjoys it like a kid with a new toy, It is awesome.
Cool
The two rows of morse is:
PUZZLE
PEOPLE
how did you...
@@lousid171 its rlly easy to understand Morse code
@@ronaldmontaner9833 That's what I thought - and then I saw the many thumbs syjwg got for it 🤣
Is that Braille?
I don't think it's Morse code. Morse code is comprised of one & three dots. On the side of the puzzle there's one, three, & four dots...
Thank you so much for zooming in on the diagrams and using the arrows to explain your thoughts!
I have never yelled at my screen so much as when i was saying "You have to put the number code for LAST in LAST!"
And the number of times he spun past "LESS"...
And every time, he spun the box 3 faces to the right... instead of once to the left...
@@Dankadamas lol I know!!! That bothered me much more than it should have lol
@@Dankadamas Amazingly inflexible for someone who is constantly looking for a new angle.
@@RaineStudio Arrrrgh, yeah sometimes the way he solves puzzles draws me nuts lol.
He can be a bit of a dunderhead, but I suppose he also needs to make it entertaining and if he figured things out right away the videos wouldn't be near as great!!
I imagine that a lot of the edits are parts where they cut to chat about something they think they figured out, and then discuss the best way to proceed in solving it - as far as entertainment purposes go.
You know what, sometimes in life all you need is a cup of tea and a video of a man solving a puzzle-box. I appreciate your work. Thank you for making content, you make a difference.
same!
I was enjoying it exactly like that...
I'll try watching with tea next time, sounds nice.
As someone with 30 years experience in embedded electronics, I'm intrigued by this. I see so many inputs and outputs with all those servos, leds and buttons etc that it's beyond the basic microcontrollers that a hobbyist would use. I'd love to hear more about how this was made.
Do you think a Grand Central with all 45+ inputs would be able to do that? They are pretty versatile.
Outputs may be charlieplexed and may have separate microprocessor would be my guess._
I think an Arduino Mega could possibly handle that, especially if they used a WS2812B matrix for the LED grid for the maze game and those number matrices are SPI driven. For sure, that person doing it really knows their stuff!
How about those 'valves' that magically controlled whatever dials they were told to move for video purposes? What dial they moved changed with every edit.
@@mitchblackmore5230 Huh? You do realise they're not actual valves right? They're just variable resistors connected to a microcontroller? They can be made to do anything the creator of the box wants them to do.
woah the production quality is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! keep up the great work!!
I agree - I think that is the greatest puzzle I've seen you solve. Thank you Martin (I've just ordered your Antikythera Tablets puzzle box), but above all, thank you Chris for making my evenings brighter. Your amazing intros, your sharp intelligence, your authenticness and your child-like enthusiasm have got me through a really tough time. Big love from Italy x
Thank you for the kind words!
@@ChrisRamsay52 Thank you, in turn, for replying! If you ever come to Tuscany, you have a home here (with lots of puzzles and pizza) ❤🍕
Absolutely love these videos .. thank you !!
This makes me ridiculously happy! It is like the Room in real life! Such a joy to watch you solve it.
**Yells at Chris**, "You can spin it one rotation to the left!!!" as he spins it three times to the right for the eighth time to input the numbers he got from the word clues... 😂🤣😂
Zoolander. Can't turn left.
@@DTMRM8 lol I love how he says I'm not an ambiturner 😂
Same 😂
Annoyed the hell out of me too. That and constantly looking off camera like he’s a 6 year old looking for praise.
@@pokerpig9069 Or maybe he's looking at a monitor to make sure everything is in shot correctly. Dumbass lol
Chris! The visual edits are genius! Showing us the drawings and writings are super helpful for us viewers to understand and stay engaged mentally. Plus it looks more professional! I hope you incorporate this in more videos. I know editing can be a hassle, but man that little bit makes a huge difference! No doubt this puzzle was f'ing amazing! Great video!
ffs
@@darren6202 people like you literally go out of your way to complain about anything. "ffs". Why even comment if you have less than nothing to contribute to this world? Go get real friends or something.
Including the edit where no valve levers moved the 'pressure' dial, and after the cut it's suddenly in the green? This whole video is horse shit!!!
Future/Current Puzzle Designers: This. This type of sequential discovery puzzle. These are the types that clearly cause a dopamine rush in Chris and -via proxy- us as well. His boyish awe is so infectious, even through a video. These types of puzzles are a big reason why I watch Chris' videos. I know these aren't a dime a dozen.. they're very rare and expensive to make/purchase...so that's why they're so special, to me, when one of these comes up a few times a year.
TY to Chris for sharing and a big thanks to the puzzle creator. This was a lot of fun!
This is quite literally a Masterpiece: a piece created by a Journeyman as part of their demonstration of their mastery of the skills in their profession.
Someone has never seen a Hellraiser movie before. I am anxious about someone who just solves random puzzles that are sent to him over RUclips lmao.
@@Nilruin "random" like this wasn't a collaboration between two people lmao
The portal has opened.
Let's see what happens next full moon...
Next Halloween...
Petition for a Chris Ramsay game where you play as Chris and have to go through multiple puzzle boxes in different environments/styles
@@aprilmaay6579 what 😂
@@kermitthefragg ?
Let's go!!!
Lol love it! Complete with sound clips from Chris when he's surprised or things like "that's so cool!". I'd for sure play that game
I love puzzle games like Myst, Riven, Quern and every time I play a game like that it makes me think of Chris Ramsay and what he would do if he had the puzzle in front of him.
Impressive from idea to final creation! I love that the box to just get to the puzzle was a mini puzzle, such an immersive experience. I love watching the ones where you get so hyped going through the steps 👍
I liked how this reused mechanisms twice.
I love that it wasn't all just single use puzzle parts, you had to go back and revisit most parts of it at least once more in a different function. so good!
I dunno why but using AI for anything to do with Tesla just gives me ironic Edison-energy
Heh true
I'm usually a 'rage against the ai machine' guy, but this was pretty damn cool.
@@creageous hey
Its best not to rage against the ai machine but instead help it grow with regulations like a parent would
We help teach it right and wrong
@seantaggart7382 You Anarchist as well or what?
@@Shooshpa-z2e no anarchy fails always
Order is needed
Crazy, wonderful puzzle! This was soooooo much fun to watch. Can't imagine how much fun it was to solve. I was yelling every time you tried to put in the word 'last' until it was the last word, lol. Wow, just wow!
This was cool.....but how you kept turning the box all the way around instead of just once the other way was giving me high blood pressure lol
lol same 😄
@@TheKwil I think he was checking all sides for lit clues.
yea me too. very hard to watch 😗😗
I enjoyed it more because of the fact
I've watched a lot of puzzle boxes being solved on this channel and for real this is the greatest puzzle box so far.
This was FANTASTIC!!! What a great puzzle! The excitement from YOU is totally palpable and made this even more enjoyable. It's like you emerged from ..something(?) all shiny and new . Sounds weird, but I know what I mean in my head 😂
I dont know how this video appeared in my feed... but i have to say this was the absolute coolest thing I've seen! It's amazing to me just how creative people can be... I absolutely love solving puzzles... and I would've enjoyed attempting to solve this... and to be clear... coming up with the puzzle is one thing... but to create the box to work in conjunction with the puzzle is simply amazing... good stuff
My brain didn’t process this was Chris and not Gordon Ramsey for a second and I was really confused
Lol
😂
What if Chris Ramsey and Gordon Ramsey switched places for a day?
@@SilverWingedOne the puzzle video with Gordon would be one long bleep and never get solved, and Chris would be making some of the best tasting food that would be too complicated to figure out how to properly eat it.
Food puzzles or puzzling foods 😁
The fact that at the end it involved everything you learned and had a twist to it was awesome.
Anyone else triggered by him spinning the box the wrong direction. He just needed to turn it 90 degrees instead of 270 and then the next time he did the same in the opposite direction.
@@graememckay9972 same with him reading from right to left.
It’s like leaving through the garage door and coming back in through the front door for a bathroom 6 feet away from you.
Also him immediately thinking the text is done by AI is pretty lame.
@@BMT3691 LOL Interesting analogy!
Of course. But persistence pays and he's putting in the work as he's enjoying it..
Is it One (1) guy that creates these puzzles? Martin Raynsford is Pure D Genius! I'm hoping this is his Side Gig and he really works for DARPA or is a rogue agent that has good intentions for all peoples, otherwise, boy are we doomed or what?
One guy that made this puzzle, just me. I have worked for the UK equivalent of DARPA but that was a long time ago.
Just seeing your face as you read the letter before solving the puzzle you can tell how passionate you are about solving puzzles and how it’s just your happy place
True. 😌
Likely the best puzzle box so far. Excellent strictly logical puzzles, focus on the electrical inventions trait, and it looks great, too. Amazing job, Martin.
17:24
I couldn’t help thinking…. What if it’s Braille? 🤔
LOVED this one! I just watched an episode of DR WHO ( Jodie Whittaker ) with Tesla in it & this has got the imagination rolling. 😊 It’s also giving me The Room ( 1st Edition) vibes. ❤ I still go back and replay those puzzles again & again & always looking for more new ones by other creators.
That was my initial thought on first glance, but then it would be structured in 3x2 dots.
@@Flippokid and then you could use it to unlock the regis in pokemon/j
This is the 1st in a while I was with Chris the entire solve... because this is what comes to mind when I hear 'puzzle box'
I can't even comprehend the brainpower it takes to create something like this. Unreal!
Ive been watching this channel literally since his first video. This puzzle is easily the best puzzle chris has ever solved. A true masterpiece, it's so fun you can feel the creator's joy making it. Whatever it's costs, it is worth it for sure.
Holy shoot-a-roni, this feels like a movie!
Wow. Wow. Wow. The craftsmanship is insane.
The note wasn’t kidding, the fabled self turning off switch is quite paradoxical invention
OMG that is an Awesome puzzle. It had everything a puzzle could have. It was so much fun watching Chris solve it and at no time did I say, tray this as I confused from the start on what to do. The puzzle itself is very beautiful to look at. Unlike other puzzles he has solved. You don't just solve the 4 sides. You have to go and fix some parts to finish solving it. A real masterpiece of craftmanship.
This is an *amazingly* intricate and creative puzzle. Truly unique! ♥
The craftsmanship here is absolutely phenomenal.
Love Martin's puzzles! The dislocation tablets are really fun and Loki is a complete mindf*ck!
Agree!!!
It's pretty crazy how smart and creative you have to be to come up with something like this, let alone make it. Incredible.
I feel cheated. This is not "The Room" I pictured in my head. I was wondering how a evil cheating wife , betraying but forgiven friend, and a random drug problem would translate to a puzzle box.
Wait what
All references to an infamously "so bad it's amazing" movie called "The Room"@@shable1436
fr like huh
Oh hai mark
schizophrenia
I used to DEVOUR these puzzle videos and somehow I stopped following(can’t remember) and recently thought about these videos and was happy to find you again and your puzzles still going strong. Love it and so calming before bed to shut my brain off.
I sent Martin a kind email and he responded within 15 min. Cool dude for sure
I'm glad someone did this. Designing a few puzzle boxes was the first thing I used AI for, but actually realizing those designs was not something I was ever going to invest in.
Trusting your AI not to lie or hallucinate at you is a type of skill with gaslighting that I never thought our species would need to adapt to.
now I need to reinstall The Room to play it :)
That’s the ONLY game I flatly refuse to remove from any of my devices. I have all of them just sitting there eating up my memory…
Which one is your favourite?
@@alexhetherington8028 I love all of them. I think for me it would have to be the first one just because there was nothing else like it out there when it was released and certain bits of it still bring me so much joy when playing it
I can't imagine the work that goes into making a puzzle like this. Thats So Amazing
I am speechless. This is a true testament to the whimsical tapestry of experience and... Ok, ok, not another AI generated piece of craptext on the internet.
Well, while being somewhat of an AI hater, I have to admit this puzzle box is amazing. Having had a few (terrible) attempts at 'ai assisted gadget creation' in the past, I send my maximum respect to the artist because this amazing result is only possible thanks to his amazing brain.
Once you get past the initial shock of the AI thing it reveals itself to be an empty shell, sentences going in circles wasting your precious time, always the same 'logic' behind every statement, censorship, manipulation, etc. I kinda enjoy the visual ones for design creation, but I find myself more and more against them due to the current "grab every single image/video/word on the internet and train the model on it, with or without the consent of the original creator" policies.
I can't know for a fact whether they dumbed it down or I was being too optimistic at first, but now I have this feeling that the internet is turning into the same empty shell that AI is. An imitation of what we used to do, but without actually doing it. It's like watching a 'drinking bird' mechanism with a hammer in the head pretending to carve stone but doing nothing in effect.
Tired of videos with stock footage, ai generated scripts read by either ai voices or people in the third world, with titles such as 'What Einstein saw inside a black hole' or some other nonsensical disinformation, and of course they get millions of views and thousands of likes.
I believe we are at the point where we do all the 9-5 dreadful jobs, and AI gets to do all the creative and fun stuff. People fill the internet with AI generated crap in hopes of earning a few bucks, while feeding AI and social control algorithms in the process. Which means either a revolution and reversal of events is coming or the mass has already surrendered and will live happily as slaves with their dopamine generators (screens, fake social life and drugs). Did I say I am an AI hater?
Anyway I liked the implementation, very creative.
This really is the greatest puzzle I have seen so far on this channel.
it is very clear you are a master of what you do chris
I'm just amazed at the skill and dedication to make such a whimsical device.
The puzzle itself isn't very complicated, but man does the presentation make up for it.
Yo wtf….. this was incredible. I’m not being dramatic, this was INSANE. Whoever built this really needs more attention, and maybe a collaboration with Adam Savage..
Also, the production quality of this video was Top Shelf. Peak RUclips content.
Watched with my young kids this morning and they loved it! The wonder moments were a lot of fun!!
"Nuclear Missile activated","You have 10seconds for shut down!" O.O
Who thinks chris should also attempt to create his own puzzle using his experiencs, i bet it'll be super cool and interesting to solve 😁😁
Not going to lie, it would have taken me a week to solve this haha. Loved this video man, it was so much fun to watch.
Very cool puzzle, I think it's my favorite so far - but watching Chris 'solve' things by just trying every possible way until he gets something *almost every time*, rather than stop and spend a little more time thinking (and sharing his thoughts for the viewers) on how to solve a particular obstacle would make things much more entertaining imo.
I get that he's experienced a lot of puzzles where there is no real 'secret' other than keep trying different combinations, but there are so many places here where if he just looked around a bit more he would be much more logical in his attempts.
A great example here would be the maze at the top. Spending so much time trying to brute force his way through it, only to actually look and find a possible solution *after* he has finished the puzzle - as a one-off one-of-a-kind puzzle made especially for him, with so much beautiful craftmanship, I can't help but feel a little chagrined (*I* use that word) that he didn't spend more time thinking about what other clues might present themselves!
Still very cool though, and I'm appreciative of the content as always - I really think I need to start purchasing puzzle boxes!!
That's a glorious puzzle box. A true testament to science and creativity, all wrapped up in a playful pose of one of the greatest scientific minds of all time. I think Tesla himself would get quite the kick out of that.
Genius? To solve this puzzle is genius. But to create it... that is madness.
17:07 Smart to check the paper for water marks and hidden text
the way i KNEW as soon as u read the note it was gonna be one of those flip switchers at the end lolol. couldnt thinnk of anything else so fitting of that description
Oh man, you mentioned "The Room." It made me think of that when I saw this puzzle box. It's so great playing it in VR.
I can't imagine the brain power it takes to come up with a puzzle like this. I'm in shock! Incredible!!
If Martin Ransford received one less hug, he would make these puzzles for kidnapped victims.
The cinematics at the beginning of these puzzle videos *chefs kiss* 🤌🏽
As someone who has played all of The Room games, this made me so happy!
Great job as always, Chris❤
This might be my new favorite puzzle that you've done. Can't imagine how long it must've taken to build.
9 months of pretty solid building, maybe with a month off for Christmas. It certainly festered in my mind for 6 months before that though :)
Ohh how i missed these big, electronic, and intricate puzzles 🥰.
That puzzle box was as crazy,as a box of squirrels
idk if this makes sense to you, but the pacing of your solves is a very satisfying thing to watch
An amazing puzzle and the production was probably the best I have seen in a long time!!
I pose this should become a challenge. One puzzle box each year, each surpassing the previous.
due to the illuminated elements, This puzzle video would of been cooler if you had the lights dimmed down far enough to allow yourself to work the puzzle, but also allow the box to give its eerie glow for the camera as well.
"Im not sure what those are for" (so lets just poke, prod, touch, and turn them first)...wow. Great video!
That is the coolest puzzle box I have ever seen you solve. Martin is an artist, magician and genius
Chris I just have to say I love your intros. The production quality is freaking crazy, It puts some professional movies to shame. Always keep up the great work, Much Love.
this puzzle was just amazing!! definitely one of my favorites of all time on this channel!
I thought the little box just detached and then dropped from the inside ceiling compartment, released by some mechanical lock. The false bottom could also have been amazing. Should make one out of metal as a art piece with a magic trick. 🎩
Amazing puzzle. Great work guys! Definitely one of my favorites, second only to my guy Wes Barkers blind puzzle. Still hoping for a sequel for that one.
Yeah that one’s hard to beat!
@@ChrisRamsay52 2nd to none! haha
Last time someone solved the greatest puzzle box ever, a man with a head full of pins showed up and ruined the party.
Not sure if you’ve ever been told this before but you have such a soothing voice, I’ve fallen asleep multiple times watching your videos 😅
Thank you Chris! You are still the reason I watch RUclips
the talent and skill of the people that make (and solve) puzzles like this will never cease to amaze me
There will never be a satisfying Riddler puzzle in a Batman game until it's up to this level.
Knives Out Glass Onion vibes. The craftsmanship is stunning
you need to open up a sort of puzzle house. basically like an escape room facility, but you can instead reserve rooms to do these amazing puzzles. I'm sure there's plenty of people who would love to be able to get hands on with puzzles like this and your other $1,000+ puzzles. I for one would not mind spending $250 to do 2 or 3 of these kinds of puzzles.
This was amazing!! I love that you don't just complete one side and then you don't use it again, but keep going back and forth. Genius puzzle box and the end reveal was so fun - how unusual to have a puzzle box that you can open the main box part straight away and yet the final reveal is in that box. Brilliant!
I thought of putting a combination lock onto a box and turn it into a puzzle box where you have to enter a quarter for 10 guesses on the combination lock. If you didn't open it, then you lost the quarter. But after many quarters enter and you finally solve the combination lock, then you get all the quarters that were entered into the box.
I love how you had to go back to parts to continue, normally once a sided is solved that's it. Great puzzle and video.
Amazing! Loved the pseudo magic trick at the end!
Hope there's reset instructions
This was so incredible. It's crazy how people can actually invent things like this. Very awesome!
Imagine getting gifted this randomly and thinking you were about to fucking die.
Chris, I save your videos for when I can enjoy start to finish. You always raise the bar, this one will far and above the horizon. Thank you
You rock!
Hands down the coolest and most impressive puzzle boxes ever created
