The puzzle pieces in this game aren't ordinary. They are building blocks, and here's the twist: the part of the image that sits on the studs disappears when the blocks are stacked. This unique mechanic challenges your imagination, because parts of the image appear twice at first – once on the block itself and once on the studs. Only after stacking do you see if everything fits. # Sorting Fun: Your task is to sort colorful bricks correctly and thus decipher words and images. # Surprises await you: Put disassembled pictures back together correctly to unlock new motifs. # Snackable: Aimed at anyone looking for quick, colorful puzzle fun.
