Any Good Puzzle Resources?

[Retreater]

I have a player who mostly likes combat but also enjoys physically manipulative puzzles in the game. (Not riddles.)
Things like "arrange these colored stones into a specific pattern to unlock the door."
Does anyone have good resources for things like this?
We're currently playing a sci-fi game, so if it can be altered to a sci-fi theme, that would be even better.

Not really a resource but there was a series of mobile games called The Room several years ago that was lovecraftian horror adjacent and had a number of good puzzles that involved manipulating items in various locations that I’ve borrowed ideas from before.

You may be able to do a search on walkthroughs of those games that might be useful.

I know it wasn't quite what you were looking for, but: how about an actual jigsaw puzzle?

Before the pandemic when we used to game together in person, I purchased a blank 24-piece wooden puzzle like this one. I assembled it, drew a map on one side of it and wrote a riddle on the back, and then handed it out piece-by-piece to the players as they completed a series of different quests.

I remember the whole project costing about $10 after shipping.

My kids liked this game on vacation or in the back of the car. You would slide the pieces around on the board in order to get the red car to get to the exit. It scaled from 1-100 in difficulty.
