An ancient children's game of many variations. Invent your own variation on a giant mechanical tower and have it judged among Egypt's most challenging.
Test Description
Design an Empty Hand Puzzle, and invite others to solve your creation. They will rate your puzzle on how clever and satisfying the solution is. Remember that only people who actually solve it will qualify as judges.
Principles
- Design an Empty Hand Puzzle and open it for Judging
- Tear down your Empty Hand Puzzle, OR do the following:
- Have 7 Judges solve and rate your Empty Hand
- Design rated Good by most judges
- All of the above, OR solve three recent winning Empty Hand Puzzles
Passing the Principles
There are 3 ways of passing the principles. Build a puzzle and tear it down, build a puzzle and have others play it, and playing other people's puzzles and rate them.
If you are just seeking passing the principles of this test, building and tearing down is the fastest.
If you are having trouble gathering materials or if you enjoy playing these games, the third option is good for you.
The longest route to principles is to build a puzzle and have it played & rated by others. But if you place your puzzle strategically, you may actually have a head start on passing the test (and get principles along the way).
Note: be aware that to build your own puzzle, you will need Gearbox Design. If this is out of reach for you, finding 3 previous test passer's puzzles, and playing & rating them, might be the easiest.
Passing the Test
The 2 highest-rated puzzles each week will pass the Test.

* Note: Some of these locations are no longer valid because of players reusing passed towers for a different player's new design. If you know a listed location/design no longer exists, please delete the entry or note that it is gone and thus no longer a useful location for principles or additional Test of Reason points.
