Puzzles

 

— this category includes various puzzles that are not related to Rubik's cubes, pyramids and other varieties, which are listed separately in our catalog. Here are some of the most popular varieties of such toys:

— Mosaic. Puzzle in the form of several flat pieces. One of the most common types of mosaics is a “frame”: several parts of a complex shape (from 4 – 5 to several dozen) must be placed in a common frame so that they all fit and there is no empty space between the parts. Another variety is a set of parts from which you need to add a certain figure.

— Three-dimensional mosaic. A variation of the mosaic described above, adjusted for the fact that individual parts have a three-dimensional shape, and three-dimensional figures have to be added from them. Such figures can look quite simple — for example, a cube; however, due to the complex shape of the parts, this simplicity is often deceptive.

— "Designer". A puzzle of several complex-shaped pieces connected in a special way. The player's task is to separate the parts, and then return them to their original position. Such puzzles are quite difficult, sometimes at first glance they seem unsolvable.

— "Labyrinth". A variation of the constructor described above, in which the ring or bead must be drawn along a special frame. Such puzzles differ from ordinary children's labyrinths (see the relevant paragraph) in complexity, and often in size and materials: they are made of metal and are made relatively small.

Of course, this list is not exhaustive — the variety of puzzles is limited only by the imagination of their creators.
