I've made a new storage box for puzzles, interested people can check it out!
Recommended to print with PLA or PETG, I have uploaded two size configurations, one with the basket around 5 cm high and one around 7 cm high, please choose which to print.
Akaki's Picnic is a series of small but challenging puzzle games. The task is to put the puzzle pieces into the basket🧺
These 17 (newly updated print configurations increased to 22) different puzzles use the same basket. You can print a basket for each puzzle, or use a universal basket
The goal for each puzzle is the same: place the puzzle pieces inside the basket, flush with the basket's rim. There might be hidden gaps below the pieces, but the top surface should be filled: for example, the 2 correct solutions below. All puzzle pieces are inside the basket, with the top filled and flush with the basket's rim
These puzzles vary in difficulty, starting from the simple “Cake Basket” to the extremely challenging “Charcoal Basket”. You can try all the puzzles in order
I saw this in a video on Bilibili by “GM Secret Base” on the third day of Lunar New Year, then downloaded and printed it, finding it genuinely fun and a great time-killer. Afterward, I made the following modifications:
1. The original model files had some unnecessary separations (some were necessary), I re-merged some of these separated bodies because doing so does not add extra supports.
2. (Newly updated print configurations require no installation, this point is void) Individual separated bodies had 'A' labels repeated in sequence, after checking I re-added the letter 'B', so that the same puzzle would not have two 'A's, preventing confusion and saving time for verification.
3. All colors were re-assigned according to the original markings, but since Bambu Studio only supports up to 16 colors, for one “Foie Gras” basket, I used a similar Tan color as a substitute. Please note this replacement when printing.
4. The plates are arranged in order of difficulty, from easy to medium, hard, and super hard. The default size is 70%, which is manageable with one hand. If it's not challenging enough, scale it to 100% or 150% yourself—the GM video shows it enlarged.
5. Re-arranged orientation and set supports to maintain reasonableness and ease of printing.
PS: At the end of the layout, there are 2 baskets, one is the original difficulty with a non-removable handle, and the other is a removable basket. For first-time players, it is recommended to use the basket without a handle; even with this reduced difficulty, the game will still be very hard~~ personal experience
Included is GM's video link, which clearly explains the solving process for 4 of the baskets Cake, Egg, Chocolate, Peppermint
Introduction to the original model:
Here are the puzzles roughly sorted by difficulty:
Easy
🍰 Cake Basket: The simplest puzzle, requiring 11 moves and two rotations to solve. It consists of three symmetrical pieces, but the movements are not entirely symmetrical. A good entry-level puzzle and a great example of a packing puzzle.
|  |
🍉 Fruit Basket: Most steps are linear movements (no rotation needed). If you calculate the size of the pieces, you'll find it fills the entire basket with no internal gaps.
|  |
🥬 Vegetable Basket: The Vegetable Basket is interesting because it only uses linear movements (no rotation needed). I designed it to be simple, but some people say they found it the hardest in the series! ⚠ The Vegetable Basket has an extra rule: the top surface must be completely filled in the solution (there's an easier solution if you allow visible gaps on top).
|  |
Medium
🍗 Chicken Basket: With only three pieces, they barely form a complete cube when combined. However, there's only one way to get them into the basket. This puzzle contains the most complex single move in the series.
|  |
🍳 Egg Basket: My personal favorite in the series, with a great balance of different moves. Pieces need to be inserted into the basket one by one in a specific order, and each piece requires a different move to get it in.
|  |
🍔 Burger Basket: Another favorite of mine, this puzzle has a perplexing quality that even confuses me. Every time I try to assemble it, I get lost on the wrong path at some point.
|  |
◆ Salt Licorice Basket: How do you fit two identical candy pieces in? Gravity might be needed.
|  |
🍖 BBQ Basket: It contains an interesting move not found in previous puzzles, which seems impossible at first glance, especially for experienced puzzlers. ⚠ This puzzle has an extra rule: the top surface of the basket must be completely filled in the solution (there's an easier solution if you allow visible gaps on top). This is a medium-difficulty puzzle.
|  |
Hard
🚇 Subway Basket: Subway pieces move in surprising directions to accommodate the next piece.
|  |
🥪 Sandwich Basket: The U-shaped filler needs to be placed between the large bread pieces. Requires some coordinated movements to solve.
|  |
🍫 Chocolate Basket: This was the first in the series I designed. It has undergone some modifications, but it has become one of the hardest puzzles in the series. Perhaps you can see how the interaction of the top piece with the basket handle in this puzzle evolved into many different ideas used in other puzzles in the series.
|  |
🍷 Wine Basket: The hardest of the original ten puzzles in the series. This puzzle requires 18 moves to complete. Some dexterity may be needed. This was designed shortly after the Chocolate Basket. I initially hesitated to release this design because I thought puzzlers would find the solution too far-fetched and overly complex, but I received very positive feedback.
|  |
Extreme
🌮 Nachos Basket: The Nachos Basket was designed by puzzle designer William Hu. It uses diagonal half-cube shapes, allowing for some interesting moves not found in my designs. ⚠ This puzzle has an extra rule: the top surface of the basket must be completely filled in the solution (there's an easier solution if you allow visible gaps on top). This one is harder than the original Wine Basket in the series.
|  |
🍬 Peppermint Basket: Not to be outdone by William's Nachos Basket☝, I created this puzzle as a response. It's much harder than any of my previous puzzles; I think if I weren't the designer, I wouldn't know how to solve it myself. ⚠ This puzzle has the same extra rule: the top surface of the basket must be completely filled in the solution (there's an easier solution if you allow visible gaps on top).
|  |
🫒 Olive Basket: If you look closely, you'll find one of the blocks is thinner than the others. This feature allows for fantastic moves never before seen in the series. The Olive Basket requires 27 moves to solve.
|  |
🦆 Foie Gras Basket: Pieces with diagonal grooves allow for satisfying movements, almost like putting a lid on a box. Installing the two large pieces is difficult enough, and then you have two L-shaped pieces to install. This puzzle requires more dexterity than previous ones.
|  |
🪵 Charcoal Basket: The Charcoal Basket is the hardest in the series, even surpassing the Peppermint Basket. Solving this puzzle requires 31 moves, twice as many as the Wine Basket, and it contains multiple movements not found in other puzzles.
