Metal Mayhem Puzzle Solutions
Identify The Boomerang, The Claws, The Menace and The Ring Leader from the original Crafty Puzzles archive, then open the matching preserved solution.
The Crafty Puzzles archive preserves four named puzzles from the Metal Mayhem range. Their packaging uses similar branding, so the safest way to choose instructions is by comparing the puzzle shape and number of separate metal pieces rather than relying on the box colour alone.
Do not force or bend the wire. These puzzles are intended to separate through orientation, rotation and routing. If your puzzle does not match one of the four photographs below, use the broader Metal Puzzle Solutions guide.

View solutionHow to identify a Metal Mayhem puzzle
- Compare the number of separate pieces or rings.
- Look at the shape of the largest frame: loop, claw, hook or ring arrangement.
- Match the photograph before following a solution. Small differences can change the entire route.
- If the puzzle has no packaging or name, use the private Photo Identifier or guided Puzzle Finder.
