Three-dimensional puzzle

A set of interlocking elements capable of being joined together to form a corner piece of a puzzle that constitutes a three-dimensional pictorial representation of a structure, said set of interlocking elements comprising;

• a) a first generally planar element;
• b) a second generally planar element including an image-bearing surface, said elements including male and female joint members capable of engagement for interlocking said elements in a corner configuration;
• c) a third generally planar element, said third and first planar elements including a dovetail joint for interlocking said first and third elements in a generally co-planar relationship, said third element in an interlocked condition with said first element constituting means for precluding separation of said joint members, one of said first and third elements including an image-bearing surface, when said elements are in the interlocked condition said surfaces unite visually to provide image continuity over said corner piece;
• and
• d) one of said planar elements includes a joint member capable of interlocking engagement in a plane with a complementary joint member of another element of the puzzle, whereby allowing to build-up a section of the structure.

A three-dimensional puzzle game for assembly into a building-like structure including walls erected from a horizontal base, said three-dimensional puzzle game including:

• a plurality of planar wall pieces capable of interlocking in a plane to form a wall of the building structure, each said wall pieces includes an image-bearing outer surface constituting an individual pictorial entity contributing to a complete representation of the building structure;
• a foundation corner piece for establishing a union between a wall of said building-structure and said base portion, said foundation corner piece including:
• a) a first element including a pair of generally planar segments connected to one another by a hinge and capable of angular movement one relative to the other, said first element includes an image-bearing surface;
• and
• b) second generally planar element including an image-bearing surface;
• c) said second planar element and one of said planar segments include complementary male and female joint members capable of interlocking engagement, the joint member on said one planar segment being adjacent to said hinge and accessible to the complementary joint member on said second planar element when said planar segments are in a substantially non-planar relationship, when said joint members acquire said interlocked condition said second planar element is substantially co-planar with said one planar segment to form a portion of said base and the other of said planar segment is in an upstanding position, said other planar segment being capable of interlocking engagement in a plane with at least one of said wall pieces in order to build-up the wall of the building-like structure, and the image-bearing surfaces of said first and second elements uniting visually to provide image continuity over said corner piece.
