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.”

Book of Secrets features:

• A steampunk combination-lock box
• A multi-step opening sequence
• A large secret compartment
• Various hint windows
• Two ways to open without the combination
• Two colors of plywood – for the first time!

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.

As a book, but with secret:

• A three-digit combination
• A hidden key
• Assembled without glue or any tools
• A step-by-step instruction in 11 languages
