Torment Puzzle by Reiss (1982) – Vintage 3-Piece Plastic Puzzle with Original Box & Instructions
The Torment Puzzle by Reiss is a classic vintage mechanical puzzle originally released in 1982, prized by collectors and puzzle enthusiasts alike. This example is complete, unused, and includes the original solution sheet, making it a standout addition to any vintage puzzle or magic collection.
Designed to challenge spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills, the Torment Puzzle consists of three interlocking clear plastic pieces that must be assembled and disassembled in a specific sequence. While the design appears simple at first glance, the puzzle lives up to its name by offering a deceptively difficult and satisfying challenge.
This set includes the original retail box with two plastic box liners/spacers that securely hold the puzzle components. The clear plastic puzzle pieces remain in very nice condition, and the original solution sheet is clean and well-preserved.
Please note that the box shows visible shelf wear, including wear to the corners and edges, along with tearing around the display top — all consistent with age and long-term storage. These cosmetic flaws do not affect the puzzle itself and are typical for vintage boxed items from this era.
