Product Description

Editorial Review

Elegant as Fred Astaire and 10 times as chilly, a flock of penguins keep cool in Arctic waters. Easy to Play, but Hard to Solve is the motto for this deceptively simple-looking puzzle. By the time you've become addicted and find yourself unable to solve the thing, you'll realize it's not so much a motto as a warning. Nine colorfully illustrated cardboard 4-by-4-inch squares depict various unfinished images of penguins along their edges. The images must be matched and the nine squares arranged in a larger square. An ingenious, elegantly executed puzzle idea, Scramble Squares will have you simultaneously blessing and cursing its inventor. --Claire Dederer

Product Description

This Penguins Scramble Squares® puzzle appears almost three dimensional in its portrayal of these unusual southern hemisphere birds in their icy habitat. In addition to adults of all ages, this puzzle is especially loved by children.

The object of the Scramble Squares® puzzle game is to arrange the nine colorfully illustrated square pieces into a 12" x 12" square so that the realistic graphics on the pieces' edges match perfectly to form a completed design in every direction.

The full 9-piece puzzle creates an enormous number of possible combinations in a 3 piece x 3 piece pattern, but only one possible solution!

An educational panel of information on the subject matter of the puzzle, is on the back of the header card along with a trivia quiz. The answer to the trivia quiz is on the front of the header card hidden behind the puzzle pieces. Scramble Squares® puzzles are among the most honored products in the gift, games and educational products industries: The American Revolution Scramble Squares® puzzle was named one of "Dr. Toy's 10 Best Educational Products for 2008." Scramble Squares® were also the recipients of the Dr. Toy Best Vacation Childrens' products of 2008 and "Best Product Picks 2008" by the Institute for Childhood Resources in San Francisco.
