Calvins Puzzle Iglootopia 2x2 M

Calvins Puzzle Iglootopia 2x2 M

Calvins Puzzle Iglootopia 2x2 M is a magnetic 2x2 cube shaped like a winter cottage. It has a snow-covered roof, a chimney, a Christmas wreath, windows and a door, and the walls feature a Christmas tree and other winter motifs. The walls come in a warm colour reminiscent of a gingerbread house.

Design

The details are sculpted in the plastic rather than applied as stickers, so the house looks like a small Christmas figurine. The glossy finish makes the colours stand out. On a shelf it looks like a decoration, and once you pick it up, it turns into a puzzle.

How to solve it

Under the figurine there is a 2x2 cube with magnets, so you solve it just like a regular 2x2 cube. When scrambled, the figurine breaks up into shifted pieces, and your goal is to restore its shape and pattern. The pieces have unusual shapes, so avoid using force when turning and don't twist the corners out, as they can be damaged. A new puzzle may feel quite stiff at first.

Who is it for?

This is one of five figurines in the Christmas series by Calvin's Puzzle, made together with DianSheng. The whole series includes Saint Nicholas, Snowman, Frosty Fir, Iglootopia and Justin Case Gift Box. It's a great Christmas decoration and a gift idea for under the tree or for a St. Nicholas Day treat. It will delight anyone who loves cubes, but also someone who is simply looking for a pretty, unusual little gift. The figurine comes in a window box, so it's ready to give right away.
