ThinkFun76492 Triazzle Butterflies, a logic puzzle for Children and adults aged 8 and up

Cualquier Triazzle es un excelente regalo. Su diseño triangular de piezas iguales incrementa la dificultad junto con las imágenes que pueden dar demasiadas combinaciones antes de dar con la correcta, por lo que es súper eficiente en dar buen desafío ante su tamaño y bajo número de piezas. A la persona que se lo regalé le encantó cuando vio que no era tan fácil como parecía.

I bought this because I had the 90s version as a kid. It was mostly for nostalgia. It’s still fun as an adult and someone always wants to play with it.

Schnelle Lieferung. Etwas kleiner als erwartet aber immer noch sehr handlich. Eine tolle Herausforderung für groß und klein.

I have maybe 6 at home but while visiting family the kids needed something to occupy their time & their minds. Love these puzzles!

When my husband opened the package for this puzzle he asked why I got a little kid's puzzle when our kids are teenagers. I promptly took it apart, mixed up the pieces and challenged him to put it back together. An hour later, he still hadn't succeeded.This puzzle is deceptively simple. Sixteen triangular pieces in a larger triangular frame with various butterflies (I think there are 6 or 7 different butterflies) along the edges of each piece. You have to arrange the triangles so that the proper butterflies line up along each edge to create a whole butterfly. The problem is, it is very easy to fit two sides, but not so easy to fit all three. There is only one right solution that will align all the butterflies, but there are seemingly infinite possibilities that don't work (I'm sure the number of possibilities can be worked out mathematically, but that's above my pay grade).If you look closely, there are logical ways to start and proceed. Corner pieces, for instance, already have two sides given and there are only two or three pieces which will fit in any given corner. Then from there you can find other areas where there are only a couple of choices and try to eliminate them down to the correct fit. Using this bit of logic (and a whole lot of luck), I managed to complete the puzzle in about half an hour).The puzzle is made of reasonably sturdy cardboard, but I'm not sure how well it will hold up with repeated use. It is also certainly not waterproof (much less glue, slime or other such substances), so it is best kept away from young children. I'm also not sure how much re-play value this puzzle has. Theoretically you can solve it over and over again and it wouldn't necessarily get easier over time. But I wonder how many people will be motivated to do so - I can't say that I am.This is a decent puzzle for an older child or adult, but probably something best suited for a school, retirement home or other facility where it will get used by multiple people.
