Best 3D Puzzles To Love

By Benedict Perez

You may have already solved a puzzle while waiting in line at the bank or at the dentist's office. It may have been a jigsaw, crossword or the common puzzles you usually see in activity books. But there is a more challenging, more intriguing and more fun puzzle that you can enjoy, especially for those who love solving different puzzles. Jigsaw puzzles usually deal with small pieces that you need to assemble in order to form a picture of, say a dragon; 3D on the other hand lets you assemble a structure of the dragon. It is not just a picture that you see on a flat surface, but rather a live model that seemed to have popped out from the picture.

Adding to its difficulty and challenge is the property to be viewed from different perspectives. You can look at it from the front, back, top or bottom of the structure they are building. Depth perception is important to be able to solve the puzzle correctly. It is more difficult because you cannot just guess what the next piece is simply by looking at the shape of the already formed pieces and comparing the available ones. With 3D puzzles, each piece is more or less unique and requires you to consider not just the adjacent pieces but the whole model itself. However, there are also jigsaw puzzles with similar shapes of each piece but form 3D structures, such as a globe. It gives a whole new perspective to jigsaw puzzles.

3D puzzles come in many different structures. There are famous landmarks and buildings such as the Eiffel tower or animals, houses, vehicles and other structures. It is basically about anything. The number of pieces also varies. There are few as 5 to 10 or complicated ones which have up to 3,000 pieces. Their sizes also differ, making it more challenging. Some may come with steps of building it but some will really require you to figure out the whole thing on your own with nothing but the picture of how it should look like in the end.

If we find this puzzle interesting and fun, children too will surely love it. It will benefit them to start building one of these puzzles as their depth perception, recognition of shapes and their analytical skills are enhanced. This will also help build their character since it will teach them patience. When they are able to solve it, the outcome is rewarding just as much as it is for us especially if it is a difficult one. After a simple puzzle, you may give them something a little more difficult each time.

3D puzzles are available at gaming stores or online shopping sites. The prices are affordable and depend on the number of pieces, size of the whole puzzle and the material they are made of. Two of the most common are wood and the classic cardboard. Whether you are a hobbyist or you simply find 3D puzzles interesting, you should try solving one to experience the challenge and fun. - 32405
