Second Avenue Learning

🌊 The Niagara Puzzle was manufactured during 1927 and likely inspired by daredevil Charles Stephens’ final stunt: attempting to go over the Niagara Falls in a barrel. The trick had been successfully performed by Annie Taylor in 1901 and Bobby Leach in 1911, both with non-fatal injuries, but Charles Stephens met a more gruesome end. His right arm, which was the only part of his body that could be recovered, is buried in Durmmond Hills Cemetery in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
🧩🕹️ Antique versions of the game are available on eBay for ~$100 but with Original Mobile Games created by Second Avenue you can have access to the Niagara puzzle and a bunch of other similar dexterity games for just $1.99! 🎮
Bonus fact: during WWII some versions of the Niagara puzzle were manufactured to conceal a tiny compass and small hacksaw blade, and sometimes even held a small silk map, hidden beneath the playing field. These were intended to be mailed to P.O.W.s in Germany to help them escape.
