Dial Desk

Dial Desk is a concentric-ring puzzle on a warm craft desk. Vintage devices — a cream radio, desk alarm, mini safe, rotary phone and box camera — each carry brass rings with notches. Drag rings one notch at a time so the true gaps line up with the bolt slot, then pull the bolt. Early dials teach with honest gaps; later ones add painted fake gaps that jam the bolt and flake off so you can retry. Thirty-six hand-tuned dials across five packs, from Teach through Finale.

1. Drag a ring (or use the keyboard) one notch at a time until gaps look open.
2. Pull the bolt when the true gaps align with the slot.
3. A jam on a painted gap flakes the paint and lets you retry instantly.
4. Clear a dial to unlock the next; five device packs, 36 dials total.

Drag rings with the mouse. Keyboard: A/D outer, Q/E middle, Z/C inner; Space or Enter pulls the bolt. On-screen buttons for stages, title and mute. Drag rings with a finger; use the Pull bolt button. Landscape feels best on small screens.

Painted gaps look almost right — if the bolt jams, that gap was fake.

Work from the outer ring in when a dial has three rings.

After a jam the flake stays visible, so the next attempt is honest.
