Slide a SLIDA
This is a new puzzle in the market called Slida, designed by Gianni Lavermicocca, an Australian guy.
The puzzle is made out of plastic and the goal is, you can imagine, taking it apart and then reassemble it.
Taking it apart is easy and straight-forward because you just follow the order the pieces need to be moved. Reassemble the puzzle is much more difficult. If you have the Slida with different color panels, then you should take pictures when you solve the puzzle, to remember how to put the pieces together.
You can buy a Slida with a single color: this is less beautiful in my opinion, but much more difficult.
Note that the first piece is, in a way, locked in place (small hole on the right of the below picture) so you need to apply a little bit of force, so take care when it slides out, it could fly like a rocket :-)
The puzzle is well made and the outside view of it is pretty handsome, well it has an unusual look, no?
The company which produced the Slida puzzle participate in charity: for each Slida they sell to you, one is given to children in developing countries.
To conclude, 2 advantages to buy a Slida puzzle: you can solve a new kind of puzzles and you make a good deed. And there are not too expensive, so why not one for you, one for your friend and one for your cat? :-)
HERE you can buy them, enjoy !

I just got mine this week! Nice puzzle, pretty easy.
ReplyDeleteThe puzzle's shape remind me of Rokenbok Balls. If you have young kids with Rokenbok construction kits, you know what I mean.
