Hiding Die
Closed
Open
A six sided die, hollowed out and split down the middle with a simple
twist and lock mechanism inside. Hide small items in the cavity. Just promise me you won't use it for anything that will get us both into trouble.

Maze Dice
Four, six, eight, ten, twelve, and twenty sided dice with a maze on each side. Each of which is connected to the maze on the adjacent sides. Trace your way from any outside edge to the center where the number is. These are actually the second version of these dice. I didn't like the level of detail for the original versions I printed in White Strong and Flexible, so I changed them to make the numbers more prominent. I'm not including links to the first versions.
Here are some interactive views of each individual die so you can see what they look like. Remember, these views may not work with IE.

Geometry Die
Six sided die with geometric figures made of different numbers of sides representing one through six. A circle for the one side and a hexagon for the six. It's hard to find a two sided polygon, so a pair of arcs joined at their endpoints seemed like the best solution.

Rock Paper Scissors Dice
Two dice with rock, paper, and scissors hand gestures on the sides. Take all the tactics out of the game next time and replace it entirely with random chance. Yes, that's two dice. Once again I only included one in the interactive view above. It's just easier to see the different faces that way, but the model for sale on Shapeways comes with a matching pair.

Tropical Pair O' Dice
Pair of yellow and green (if you order Full Color Sandstone) six-sided
dice with palm trees on the One faces. Just a little pun that I thought
needed to be made. They're available on Shapeways as the pair, but just to make it easier to see them I only put the one in the preview below. Remember, you may not be able to see it if you're using Internet Explorer.
The dice are actually based on a t-shirt design I came up with ages ago. As you can see, the dice were originally the island with the palm trees growing out of them.
You can get the shirt on Cafepress, Zazzle, Printfection, and Spreadshirt (both pixel and vector). Later I made a repeating pattern out of it for fabrics on Spoonflower and ties on Zazzle.

Ball Bearing 6-Sided Die
Six sided die with ball bearings (1-6) on each side. With a .25mm clearance around the balls they should all move freely. I also made a slightly smaller version, by request, but I couldn't make it much smaller without getting a little too close to the minimum space needed for moving parts. They're wedged in there pretty tight so you'll need to take some time and break them loose. I recommend putting it in the freezer for a few hours. That loosened mine up. There's something strangely relaxing about rolling the bearings around and around in their tracks.
