I always enjoy puzzles inside of a puzzle! ;)

[bennodegrote]

I really enjoyed watching you solve my puzzle box! I'm glad you found the second compartment ;) Thank you very much for making the video. I'll use your feedback for making a second more complex version in the future.

I’m SO happy you did this puzzle! Chris Ramsay just uploaded his solve of the puzzle, but he didn’t figure out that there was the secret compartment. “I open at the close” is super cryptic (and a HP reference, which the guy with ‘Avada Kedavra’ tattooed didn’t pick up on ;)) and he didn’t pursue it even further. Really bugged me that I didn’t see the puzzle all the way through. Anyway, absolutely great video as usual!

Every time a puzzle stumps our Mr. Puzzle for more than 4 minutes, I'm almost convinced he actually is a mere mortal like us and not a super advanced AI sent from another planet.

You've always been the greatest puzzle youtuber ever but now, you're intros are as awesome as your channel. Again, huge fan of your logic! Please don't ever stop puzzling!

[superhunk]

I was super surprised and excited when you found the second compartment. Great solving.

[SuperBeanson]

Chris Ramsay didn't find the second compartment.

[kgnt]

@8:52 “ah yes, now I am coming deeper inside than before” ohhh ok buddy

[KyleZiber]

Glad you found the second compartment that Chris Ramsey missed!

Very nice puzzle. “I open at the close” is of course a Harry Potter reference.

[NiNjaDoh]

Yo, is there ever gonna be a Mr.Puzzle album cause these intros get better and better. I would love to hear them all in a collection.

[reemkojok]

You were missed mr puzzle ....much love from lebanon 🖤

[soleneptune]

I came from chris' channel to see the secret compartment

[Lephid]

Mr.Puzzle, Have you attempted the hazmat cargo puzzle? It seems impossible, but I found a logical strategy that significantly reduced the solve time. Let me know if you want to discuss my approach (spoiler free of course).

[smbcollector]

So was there anything printed on the underside of the second compartment's lid? The first one had your logo but you didn't show us the second one.

[KrisHall]

Mr Puzzle flip it over!!! I'm screaming at my phone like you can hear me

[sparkzz]

i can hear the sound of Chris Ramseys hand hitting his forehead now :) i honestly did wonder what that metal thing was for but i thought it was the reward engraved with congrats or something rather than a tool to progress with

Monkey Bars is Awesome. That chess Box is incredibly Well Make.

[mattanderson]

This chess box is an excellent puzzle, in my opinion. The web page advertises 30 steps to open. I won't buy one myself, but I enjoyed the video.

[vizzair]

the monkey bar is actually used in real life to drive things like generators from engines ( I think they are used inside Tornado jet fighters to drive pumps from the engines )
