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: unlock and remove the latch. 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?

Very disappointed with this. I was very excited on figuring it out only to realize that it’s incredibly easy and I bet my 5 year old sister can solve it in under a minute. 1 star never buy this product

My 7 year old solved this in under a minute and said she was disappointed.

Terrible - this is not a puzzle. It's $16 wasted at Barnes and Noble. I will not buy any of these products again. Stick with Hanyama.

Solution is obvious. Husband solved it in under 30 seconds. Very disappointing

I opened it before it was even out of the package, so easy will not buy again. I’VE DONE HARDER VIDEO GAMES! The key obviously would not fit, maybe for a baby (but the parts are too small)
