Product Description
A FIVE PIECE PUZZLE THAT TEACHES SPATIAL REASONING SKILLS. COMBINE THE FIVE PUZZLE PIECES TO MATCH THE IMAGE SHOWN ON EACH CHALLENGE CARD. AGES 8 AND OLDER. CHOCKING HAZARD - CONTAINS SMALL PARTS - NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3

Editorial Review
This engrossing puzzle contains five pieces that look like red bricks attached in different configurations. The object is to arrange the pieces to form cut-out wall sections of different shapes (pyramid-like, V-shaped, and so on). Athough the accompanying cards that display different designs is highly entertaining, feel free to experiment. By the time you've made your way through the stack, it's unlikely you'll memorize most of the solutions, so there's plenty of mileage in this activity. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Brick by Brick....GREAT game...need more cards!!   January 6, 2009

My 14 year old LOVES this puzzle! I think this game is a great help with his critical thinking and visual skills. He got through all 60 cards within the first week, though, so we need more cards!

It seems to have provided much enjoyment. Hard to assess long term issues like educational value or durability.

This is a challenging game for kids and adults alike. We had a room full of people playing with it and very few were able to solve any puzzles. It was frustrating for my 5 year old son as he wasn't able to solve a single puzzle without first reading the solution.


5 out of 5 stars Great, inexpensive toy for all ages through adult   February 18, 2006

The concept seems so deceptively simple - use just five 3-dimensional puzzle pieces shaped like stacked bricks and arrange them into 60 different symmetrical configurations as shown on the supplied deck of cards.

The puzzles to match are on one side of each numbered card and the solutions are on the back.

The little game is a welcome distraction and nicely takes your mind off other things. I'm middle aged and I enjoy it. My little boy likes it and I would bet that seniors would like it too if they have enjoyed puzzles all their lives. I just recommended to my brother for his 20 year old who is recuperating from leg surgery.

This game is so much fun! I purchased it years ago, and raced through it! I am 23 years old, and still like to pick it up once in a while - it challenges me to this day. The cards you are given look easy, but as you work your way through the deck you realize it's not as easy as you think. People of any age group will find it fun, but addictive. As you play, you learn to visualize things in a new way, which is useful in real life. The back of the cards have hints in case you get stuck - one hint shows where a few pieces go; the other hint shows the rest. You can use whichever hint you feel you need more. All around, this is a fun game that doesn't take long to learn and can be enjoyed by everyone!
