To play 2D games, take out the 12 colorful game pieces (known as pentominoes) from the box and put them on the tray. Then, from the booklet, locate a problem that you would like to try to solve and place the pieces on the game board in accordance with the illustration. Once you have done that, the challenge is to fit the remaining pieces into the spaces remaining.

To play 3D games, take the pentominoes out of the box, close the box and turn it over so that the game board is facing upward. Locate the problems in the booklet, set up the pyramid in accordance with the illustration and then fit the remaining pieces into place to complete the pyramid.

Sounds easy? The first few problems really are, but as you work through the more difficult problems you will find some to be excruciatingly hard. By this time you are probably addicted and will not want to put the game away until you have solved the problem!

While our recommended age level is for 5 year olds and up to adults (ALL age groups love these games – several hundred were purchased as goody-bag gifts at an international conference of rocket scientists, who were enthralled), even children as young as four enjoy doing the easier problems under adult supervision.
