So, a puzzle box recently turned up at my doorstep. I'd never seen anything like it before. It was a perfect cube, about a foot long. After messing with it a little, I got stuck and decided to post it here. Because my phone camera is weird, I had to draw a sketch of the each of the puzzle box's sides instead of posting pictures of the box itself. I've numbered sides for your convenience, and even told you which ones they're opposite from. Aren't I nice?



enter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description here



A few things to note.




  1. Any weird marks may be part of the puzzle, or they may just be byproducts of my attempt to draw it. Who knows?

  2. The numbers on side 1 can each be changed from 0 to 9 to create a passcode of sorts. I'm assuming that is the final puzzle.

  3. Yes, you will have to find where every face in relation to every other face. It's part of the challenge.

  4. As usual, partial answers are welcomed, and hints will be posted occasionally, when I feel like it.



Good luck as always!

          Partial Answer



          I think I may have some of the pieces together but haven't fully figured it out or understood all the pieces yet.



          Side 1:




          Not sure yet what to input here. Worth noting on this side there is an inscription stating 'Herd Ringer Puzzle Co.' (Which as found by @AHKieran Herd Ringer is an anagram for Red Herring), a marking that appears to be a 2 in the bottom left corner. Part of me wonders if the graph like image above the passkey input is an indication of the values in that spot being lower or higher compared to others.




          Side 2:




          The writing appears to be the word CODEX cut in half. There also is a marking that appears to be a 2 in the top left corner.




          Side 3:




          Based on what I found in the previous side I first looked for the letters in codex and found the associated colours to be: C-red, O-blue, D-black, E-green, X-red. There is also a marking that appears to be a the bottom part of a 2 on the upper right side of the square.




          Side 4/5:




          These sides appear to be a sliding blocks style puzzle. Not entirely certain the goal of them yet. On Side 4 you can move the pieces in such a way that there is a straight empty path through row 3. On Side 5 if you follow the arrows on the blocks you can set the puzzle to match the beginning spots of the puzzle on Side 4. There is also a marking that appears to be a the end of an arrow on Side 5 mid-right.




          Side 6:




          Based on the colour coding I got from side 3 I first looked to compare numbers colours in the order the colours appear in CODEX. First thing I noticed was the row of 4s perfectly matched the colour order. Other numbers had a spot that matched the colours in codex: C-red-4,5, O-blue-4,1, D-black-4,5, E-green-4,1,2, X-red-4,1,0. Possible answer but maybe I am just drawing connections where there are none but from these number possibilities if you assume a number can only be used once the passcode of 1-2-0-5 or 1-2-0-4 seems to follow the trajectory on the first side. Again could be nothing but who knows.




          Orientation of the sides:




          As mentioned by @AHKieran you can line up the markings to figure out the orientation. The 4 and the 5 have markings that line up to be an arrow when they are beside each other in the correct orientation. The 1, 2 and 3 have markings that form a 2 across a corner. When put all together you can determine the shape to be:


           |1|
          |4|5|3|2|
          |6|
          Note the 4 and 5 must be upside down compared to how drawn in their pictures. This link helps show this (Thanks @BmyGuest).

          Partial:




          There are markings (the 2 and the arrow) that link the sides such that if you fold this shape up into a cube, it should represent the correct orientation. However, side 6's rotation is unknown as it doesn't have any connected markings that I can see. enter image description here

          • Huh? There was a comment which just disappeared, which I wanted to second. Should not be 4 right of 5? I think you've created this: i.stack.imgur.com/ml58G.jpg and i.stack.imgur.com/01EuW.jpg

          • If the 4 and 5 are flipped upside down from how they are displayed in the question the arrow can match up and the order still work.

          Partial:




          So far, I think 3 numbers are: 2, 4, 7

          2: Seems anything could have been used to provide orientation, but a 2 was used. So, maybe it's one of the numbers?

          4: @gabbo1092 already pointed out the codex to color pattern relation

          7: If you follow the order of the codex letters on side 3, the resulting shape of the "dots" makes a 7.




          Are we to assume the pieces on sides 4 and 5 slide?




          If just the pieces on side 5 slide, then following the numbered order of 4, and the directions listed on 5, you can easily form the starting shape of side 4. But other than being a necessary step to unlock a latch, I don't see how this helps. Doesn't provide a number, at least to me.

          Not sure yet what to input here. Worth noting on this side there is an inscription stating 'Herd Ringer Puzzle Co.' (Which as found by @AHKieran Herd Ringer is an anagram for Red Herring), a marking that appears to be a 2 in the bottom left corner. Part of me wonders if the graph like image above the passkey input is an indication of the values in that spot being lower or higher compared to others.




          Side 2:




          The writing appears to be the word CODEX cut in half. There also is a marking that appears to be a 2 in the top left corner.




          Side 3:




          Based on what I found in the previous side I first looked for the letters in codex and found the associated colours to be: C-red, O-blue, D-black, E-green, X-red. There is also a marking that appears to be a the bottom part of a 2 on the upper right side of the square.




          Side 4/5:




          These sides appear to be a sliding blocks style puzzle. Not entirely certain the goal of them yet. On Side 4 you can move the pieces in such a way that there is a straight empty path through row 3. On Side 5 if you follow the arrows on the blocks you can set the puzzle to match the beginning spots of the puzzle on Side 4. There is also a marking that appears to be a the end of an arrow on Side 5 mid-right.




          Side 6:




          Based on the colour coding I got from side 3 I first looked to compare numbers colours in the order the colours appear in CODEX. First thing I noticed was the row of 4s perfectly matched the colour order. Other numbers had a spot that matched the colours in codex: C-red-4,5, O-blue-4,1, D-black-4,5, E-green-4,1,2, X-red-4,1,0. Possible answer but maybe I am just drawing connections where there are none but from these number possibilities if you assume a number can only be used once the passcode of 1-2-0-5 or 1-2-0-4 seems to follow the trajectory on the first side. Again could be nothing but who knows.




          Orientation of the sides:




          As mentioned by @AHKieran you can line up the markings to figure out the orientation. The 4 and the 5 have markings that line up to be an arrow when they are beside each other in the correct orientation. The 1, 2 and 3 have markings that form a 2 across a corner. When put all together you can determine the shape to be:


           |1|
          |4|5|3|2|
          |6|
          Note the 4 and 5 must be upside down compared to how drawn in their pictures. This link helps show this (Thanks @BmyGuest).

          There are markings (the 2 and the arrow) that link the sides such that if you fold this shape up into a cube, it should represent the correct orientation. However, side 6's rotation is unknown as it doesn't have any connected markings that I can see. enter image description here

          Partial:




          So far, I think 3 numbers are: 2, 4, 7

          2: Seems anything could have been used to provide orientation, but a 2 was used. So, maybe it's one of the numbers?

          4: @gabbo1092 already pointed out the codex to color pattern relation

          7: If you follow the order of the codex letters on side 3, the resulting shape of the "dots" makes a 7.




          Are we to assume the pieces on sides 4 and 5 slide?




          If just the pieces on side 5 slide, then following the numbered order of 4, and the directions listed on 5, you can easily form the starting shape of side 4. But other than being a necessary step to unlock a latch, I don't see how this helps. Doesn't provide a number, at least to me.
