Step into ancient Rome and test your wits with the Latch Lifter, a puzzle inspired by one of the earliest tools of security ever devised. Based on the authentic Roman latch lifter, this mechanical challenge brings history to life—right in your hands.
Originally crafted from bronze or iron, the Roman latch lifter was used to lift bolts through keyholes, discreetly securing doors from the outside. Now, you can experience the brilliance of this early invention as you work to master its clever mechanism.
Your mission: lift the ancient latch and open the gate. Sounds simple? Think again. This puzzle is designed to deceive and delight, blending authentic design with brain-teasing fun for history buffs, puzzle fans, and curious minds alike.
Can you lift the latch, or will you be locked out of Roman secrets forever?
