The invention provides a three-dimensional puzzle which consists of a box-like casing (2) and a number of game pieces (1) that are freely movable relative to each other within a closed system defined by said casing (2). The game pieces are, at least partially, marked and thus, distinguishable from each other. The casing (2) is a substantially closed, shape-retentive hollow body of the shape of a geometric solid bound by lateral faces. At least four such lateral faces are both in shape and size identical with each other. The interior of the casing serves as a game space for the enclosed flat plate-like game pieces (1) of the shape that is substantially identical with that of the at least four lateral faces of the casing (2). The game pieces (1) are laid out in size so that they are allowed for free movement within the game space. Each of the at least four lateral faces of the casing (2) and/or the game pieces (1) are/is provided with a retaining means (3) for releasably holding any one of the game pieces (1) to any one of the at least four lateral faces of the casing (2). By performing a sequence of rearranging steps, the game pieces (1) can be moved into every possible position within the game space. The goal of the puzzle lies in rearranging the game pieces (1) so that they show at least one predetermined specific pattern. |
