Mozaniac Picture Puzzles

August 17, 2008

I got an email about a new kind of puzzle called Mozaniac.  The puzzle involves assembling pieces to create a picture, but it differs from jigsaw puzzles in a couple ways.  The pieces interlock in a way such that they overlap each other.  In this way, a single set of pieces can be used for four different puzzles when both the front and back of the pieces are used.

There are a number of puzzles for sale on the site.  Some of them feature fine art painting, which the creators not are not terribly difficult, and others require you to assemble pictures of numbers which are the more challenging puzzles.  What’s missing from this site is a small Mozaniac puzzle that you can print out and try for yourself.

Picture Puzzles

Smart Kit has put up three picture puzzles.  These types of puzzles show a picture and ask a question that usually starts, “Have you ever seen…”  Then they ask you to find a tree in a pipe or something like that.  These are not hidden object puzzles and, in fact, I think the picture is there mainly for misdirection since the solution to the puzzles generally seem to involve wordplay.

Spot The Seven

Through Digg, I found a blog called Spot The Seven where a new puzzle is posted daily.  The type of puzzle on Spot The Seven is a familiar one, showing up in children’s activity books and WPC qualifying tests alike.  You are shown two nearly identical pictures and challenged to find the seven differences.  I’m impressed that a new puzzle is posted daily, including puzzles appropriate for the day like a recent MLK puzzle.
