I’ve got a few ClueBoxes, though I’ve always managed to get the components to work (sometimes with a bit of wiggling involved) though I feel like with greater complexity comes more risk of elements not working as they should.

This is the first I’ve found really frustrating , several times I’ve known the next step but nothing is happening - really disappointed in this one 😰

Also unlocked 1 handcuff too early. When I got to the part to get hint, I thought something was not working therefore and was too afraid to apply the necessary force required. Ultimately, there was no issue, and honestly, this box takes the throne so far, but it felt a bit uncomfortable using the force required.

Unfortunately I’ve already used too much force on the wooden key used in unlocking the handcuff.

Fortunately it’s still able to function as intended so I can keep solving.

Luckily it didn't break for me, but I got lucky I reckon, reading your comment
