(The various configurations of one of the more recent puzzle boxes, it features six distinct, shifting configurations, each tied to a specific gift offered by the Cenobites to those who provide human sacrifices. The box demands five sacrifices to reach it's final form. Each configuration change requiring a new victim, marked by a blade from the box.

The Lament Configuration is the Hellraiser puzzle box's original cubic state. Lament signifies "life," and choosing this configuration appears to be the only way to escape from the Cenobites' clutches with one's sanity mainly intact.

The Lore configuration is a twelve-sided geometric shape (a dodecagon/dodecahedron variant) associated with the 'Curse of Knowledge'. This includes horrific awareness of the strange cosmology of existence and of Hell itself. Once this knowledge has been learned it cannot be "unlearned", causing a unique form of gruesome insanity.

The Laudarant Configuration is a star-like form composed of dual, merged pyramids, associated with the "gift" of love, often resulting in perverse, unwanted outcomes.

The Liminal Configuration is a thin, long, eight-sided prism with star-shaped bases, dedicated to hedonistic sensation. It takes the form of two intersecting shapes, releasing a claw-like device that impales the sacrificer with a metallic contraption that "stimulates the senses".

The Lazarus Configuration resembles a sloping rectangular prism, an altered, elongated box, aimed at resurrection, bringing someone back to life, though often as a "skinless" entity.

The Leviathan Configuration is a diamond, rhombus-shaped, eight-sided structure representing the apex form, used to summon the deity itself for the sacrificer to receive a final reward of power...)

The Neo Modern Gateway Configurations (in order: Lament (Life), Lore (Knowledge), Lauderant (Love), Liminal (Sensation), Lazarus (Resurrection) & Leviathan (Power)):

(An ancient order of knights has guarded this Configuration, housed in an ancient tomb for centuries, only to have it stolen by a mystical dark order comprised of a single master and their apprentice. Said order's goal is to dominate and control as they believe opening the gateway will lead them to a mystical force that allows one's desire to break free from any known limitations or constraints. This dark side of what they believe is the mystical force may even allow one to bring back the dead. At least that is their belief.)

The Lost Light Configuration (known as the Holocron):

(This black and gold configuration represents the coexistence between the four planes of existence: physical, mental, astral and spiritual. It is believed that solving the configuration will allow a person to transcend to a cosmic nether world where angels will grant them their greatest desire. Of course, one should always be careful what they wish for...)

The Lurid Configuration:

(Crafted and curated by Phillip Lemarchand, this gateway, like all others, was created by a living being, guided in thoughts/dreams by the Leviathan and his acolytes, the cenobites. Although there are cenobites that have claimed to construct their own, they are liars and not to be trusted, as living creatures are the only ones capable of receiving Leviathan's final direction needed to complete a Configuration.)

Lemarchand's Lament Configuration:

(This oversized cube holds the DVD versions of the first three Hellraiser movies.

I picture it as a purposely built larger puzzle box, meant to ensnare the Art Collector crowd, to trick them into solving and thus opening the box, unleashing the curse of the Cenobites upon the unsuspecting world.

Lemarchand's Largus Lament Configuration:

(The Alpha and the Omega of the nexus known as the Labyrinth (also referred to as Hell, or Leviathan's Domain). It is a dark, infinite, maze-like, extra-dimensional realm ruled over by the deity Leviathan. Solving the Lament configuration can open a portal to the Labyrinth while the Leviathan configuration may allow the solver an audience with the dark god and can, if both desired and chosen, allow for one to exit the dimension. This is a choice seldom made as feelings of greed and unholy desire typically drive the solver's decision and thus their 'ultimate' reward.)
