Abstract
A three-dimensional logic puzzle is provided. The puzzle includes a plurality of identically shaped puzzle components of an irregular form. Each puzzle component is configured to engage with another identically shaped puzzle component via projections and recesses formed on the sides of the puzzle components. The plurality of puzzle components are interengagably assembled into the form of a predetermined three-dimensional geometric shape.

A three-dimensional logic puzzle, comprising a plurality of identically shaped puzzle components of an irregular form, the puzzle components being configured for interengaged assembly into the form of a predetermined three-dimensional geometric shape, wherein
- at least one side of each puzzle component comprises a substantially planar face,
- each puzzle component is formed with at least one projection and/or two or more correspondingly shaped recesses,
- each of the two or more recesses is defined by a wall that extends from an interior of the puzzle component to a level of the substantially planar face and is spaced apart therefrom,
- each of the two or more recesses extends from a common interior location of each puzzle component, and
- the at least one projection and at least one of the two or more recesses are formed with snap-fit interlocking features such that the at least one projection of each puzzle component is configured for interlocking engagement with a corresponding recess of the two or more recesses of an adjacent puzzle component.
A method for a three-dimensional logic puzzle, the method comprising:
- forming multiple identically shaped puzzle components of an irregular form;
- forming each puzzle component to comprise a substantially planar face;
- forming each puzzle component to have at least one projection and/or two or more correspondingly shaped recesses;
- forming the two or more recesses to have a wall that extends from an interior of the puzzle component to a level of the substantially planar face and is spaced apart therefrom;
- forming each of the two or more recesses to extend from a common interior location of each puzzle component;
- and
- forming the at least one projection and at least one of the two or more recesses to have snap-fit interlocking features such that the at least one projection of each puzzle component is configured for interlocking engagement with a corresponding recess of the two or more recesses of an adjacent puzzle component when the puzzle components are assembled, wherein
- assembling the puzzle comprises the steps of:
- reorientating each of the multiple puzzle components by rotating it about its axes, and
- bringing each of the multiple puzzle components into interlocking interengagement with one or more other puzzle components of the multiple puzzle components to form a three-dimensional geometric shape.
