Prepare to unlock the secrets of the Revenge Lock Puzzle, Wil Strijbos's masterpiece sequential discovery puzzle, where each step reveals a new challenge. Feast your eyes on the meticulously crafted Revenge puzzle, a stunning aluminum masterpiece accented with brass and steel that cleverly disguises its true nature - a cunning puzzle that will test your wits.
Your quest begins with uncovering the hidden serial number, concealed on the lock's back. This initial step seems like a gentle warm-up, an easy win for any experienced puzzler. But don't underestimate its deceptive simplicity, for it sets the stage for the real challenge to come.

- The "Revenge Lock" was originally conceived as a look-alike of the "Lunatic Lock" with a different internal mechanism.
- After receiving requests from collectors, the creator decided to revisit and update the puzzle with modern CNC machining capabilities.
- During testing, a "Wanderer" (puzzler) found an unintended solution, prompting a redesign to enforce a specific starting position.
- To further control the solving process and honor the "Wanderer" who exposed the loophole, the puzzle was renamed "The Wanderer."
