A puzzle apparatus comprising:
- (a) a first plurality of removable puzzle pieces that form a first picture when properly combined together that includes at least one visual representation associated with at least one audible sound producing means;
- (b) at least a first detectible means associated with at least one of said puzzle pieces;
- (c) a platform having a surface on which said puzzle pieces can be arranged and said at least one audible sound producing means;
- (d) detection means associated with said platform and adapted for sensing said at least one detectible means, and providing a first output signal that is representative of said first plurality of puzzle pieces;
- and
- (e) means actuable by a user for receiving said first output signal and activating said at least one sound producing means to produce a first audible sound associated with said at least one visual representation.
