Ok, so when we say metal puzzles, we may not be meaning puzzles based on Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot, or stuff like that.
However, these metal brain teasers have been becoming more and more popular over the last few years for those that love to challenge themselves mentally.
If you have often thought that you could match wits with the likes of Charles Xavier then you are exactly the type of person that needs to check out this epic collection of puzzles, we have for you today.
What is neat about metal puzzles is that they manage to not just test your mental skills as well as giving your fine motor skills a good workout too.
Here at Geek's Oasis, we feel that there is just something so much cooler about making something or playing with something that is made with real metal pieces.
How Did We Summon This Epic List Of Metal Puzzles?
You may think that as we are talking about the best metal puzzles today, we had to throw up our devil hands, put on some Black Sabbath, and pray at a deity that is not exactly holy! Well, we did not have to go to those extremes…
Instead, we decided to go for a mixture of puzzles that are brain teasers as well as puzzles where you actually build something, the common theme being that they have to be metal!

What we thought was cool about this Skylety Brain Teaser was how these metal puzzles look like something you would see in a sci-fi or a horror movie that would be used to open up some kind of portal to a nightmare dimension…
Just as long as it's not the one Pinhead is from, we should be ok. Here at the Geek's Oasis office, we had a lot of fun with these puzzles.
They come in a nice box to keep them safe and each puzzle requires you to really think outside of the box when it comes to solving it and putting it all together. These would also look pretty cool sitting on a shelf in our humble opinion.

As these Metal Earth metal model kits are so cool, we really wanted to include another one, and this time we went for this Transformers Soundwave 3D Metal Model Kit.
We love Transformers here at Geek's Oasis and there are many different ones you can choose from in this Metal Earth series.
However, after much debate in the office, we decided that when it comes to 80s G1 Transformers, not many are as cool as Soundwave. In the cartoon, he could turn into an 80s-style boombox, how cool was that?
This is all metal, no color so it looks very, very cool. It is challenging to put together, but once you are done you will feel like it is you that deserves The Matrix Of Leadership!
Good To Know
- This is just one of many Transformers metal puzzles in this range
- He even has Lazerbeak on his arm and that is awesome!
- Size Once Complete: 2.01 x 1.38 x 3.39 inches
