HoKey PoKey Lock

It’s time to get out those dancing shoes again.

The HoKey PoKey was Steve’s exchange puzzle at theEdward Hordern Puzzle Exchangeat the 40th International Puzzle Party.

After exchanging theHoKey CoKeya few years ago, we received feedback (mainly from our American customers) that the “proper” name for the songis the HoKey PoKey. We also had feedback from the wine drinkers that the bottle opener had limited use too. We’ve taken both bits of feedback on board, created a new puzzle with the “right” nameand added a wine stopper. The “40” on the wine stopper is, of course, a nod to the 40th IPP.

The puzzle has been made by modifying a standard brass padlock and may contain original manufacturing marks.

A secondary goal is to discover the pun hidden within this puzzle.
