Pretty cool. In the Denver Art Scene I seemed to have been so entrenched in one of my lifetimes ago, there was an artist who made puzzle boxes. One day, he got an email from none other than Darren Aronofsky, asking him to make a "puzzle desk". After verifying that, yeah: it's him, he set to task to make this desk. And it's just what you may be imagining - (except maybe you didn't expect it ALSO to be organ): there's a specific order in which you need to open and close certain drawers and such, to open a secret compartment. It took him years.
