Book of Secrets
Assemble me. Discover my secret before entrusting me with yours!
Lock your secret notes, precious treasures, or other personal items inside the Book of Secrets from Ugears and keep them safe from curious eyes. Books have been used to hide items, in real life and in fiction, for almost as long as there have been books. Homeowners can conceal valuables from burglars by hollowing out a book and placing it on a bookshelf with other tomes. The secret book is easily found by the homeowner, but nearly impossible to find for the crook. In "The Matrix," Neo hides computer discs and cash inside a book, and who can forget the prison breakout in "Shawshank Redemption," accomplished using a rock hammer concealed in a Bible, the pages cut out starting at "Exodus."
Your Book of Secrets opens by entering a three-digit combination on the book's spine to release the secret key. Insert the key in the special slot and turn counterclockwise to engage the opening mechanism, then turn the gears counterclockwise to finally open the book. Did you forget the combination? Don't worry – you can open the Book of Secrets either by prying off the back panel or by playing safecracker, discovering the combination through touch.
Book of Secrets features:
- Steampunk combination-lock box
- Multi-step opening sequence
- Large secret compartment
- Various hint windows
- Two ways to open without the combination
- Two colors of plywood – for the first time!
Secret box features:
- A three-digit combination
- A hidden key
- Assembled without glue or any tools
- Step-by-step instruction in 11 languages
My teen had fun building this box, so two stars for the experience. Three stars off, though, for the quality. Several pieces on the curved spine and another piece from the cover are broken. Also, the lock combination doesn’t really do anything. If you enter the code, the key should pop out, but in reality, the key protrudes enough anyway that it can be removed w/out the code. Or, if you tip the book on end, the key sticks out even further.
It was a lot of fun a great little unit. Keep your keepsake in it. The first thing I ever did it opened up.
A fun, fascinating, and useful puzzle! It's a challenge, though not a difficult build. (Follow the instructions carefully!) It's fun to show, and a secure storage. An excellent buy!
Fun putting together and happy to see it worked as advertised.
child happy
Un ou deux points de colle pour réparer quelques maladresses. Sinon beaucoup de plaisir pendant cette réalisation. Merci aux concepteurs
Nice.
Yet to build it - but wowed by the quality of the product. So impressed.
It’s a lovely box I made for my granddaughter. Very pleasant to build.
Je viens de le terminer, il est magnifique et très bien conçu, ma compagne en n'est ravi.
Fun quick project.
Easy to build although sometimes you do it wrong. But that the fun of it. Still don't know why it works. Very clever.
Went together well and works. Past experience with other similar projets helped make this an easier project. Some pics are really hard to see the lines. For the money I am very well satisfied.
This puzzle had a couple tricky spots but it got finished and it works!! It looks great also. I think it was rated as a medium hard project and that is about right.
Je n'ai pas réussi à faire fonctionner le livre
I think that the pièce no 105 on C8 would be in the other manner. This position don’t allow taking off the key when you push on the other side after enter code.

It came in great shape. We still have to put it together
Rated as "medium" difficulty, but there are several steps that are quite tricky (especially with the tumblers) and almost impossible to reverse without damage. The instructions aren't completely clear without first looking closely at the parts and checking next steps to ensure proper orientation. Take your time. The plywood quality isn't the best, so be patient removing parts from the flats or you will lose corners on the gears. You will probably use at least one of the spare parts. Be generous with the wax, and use it on ANY contact surface that moves, not just the gear teeth. Of the ten or so of these that I've built, this was the most annoying. Decent result, although mine had a bit of twist on a corner and minor blemishes due to the need to redo several steps.
Très bien.
Fast delivery will buy again
Très belle maquette à construire ! Attention toutefois à ne pas forcer la clé, il y en a une 2e fort heureusement dans les plaques. J'ai bien aimé les teintes employées pour ce Livre des Secrets, je pense que l'idée est à reprendre avec d'autres maquettes à venir.
excellent
It was interesting.
Unbelievable detail in design. Make extra sure you pay close attention to the detailed instructions. When putting together you wonder how and why some of the pieces fit together. In the end it all works perfect!
A pleasure to build. Works perfectly! Recommended.
My fiance really enjoys this product. Thinks it's challenging in a positive way. He wishes there were more wax included, but overall finds the product fun.
Ubuhhub
Friend loved the gift and said she'll keep an eye out for other products from your company as future gift ideas
