QiYi Magnetic Tangram with book

QiYi Magnetic Tangram with book

Tangram is a classic geometric puzzle. You have seven pieces, and you must use all of them to recreate the silhouette shown in the pattern. There are no algorithms and no timing here – all that matters is how well you see shapes and how you fit them together. QiYi Magnetic Tangram with book is a magnetic version of this puzzle. The set includes a booklet with challenges and solutions, and the pieces are transparent.

Magnets and thicker pieces

In a regular tangram, the flat pieces slide around easily and the figure falls apart at the first touch. Here, the pieces have magnets and stick to each other, so you can pick up a finished shape, adjust it or set it aside without having to rebuild it from scratch. The pieces are also noticeably thicker than in typical cardboard or thin wooden tangrams. Thanks to this, some figures can stand upright.

Booklet with challenges

The puzzle comes with a booklet of silhouettes to recreate. Each pattern shows only the outline of the figure, and you have to work out how the pieces fit inside it yourself. If you get stuck, the solutions are in the same booklet, so you can check the answer and move on to the next challenge. Once you have worked through the patterns, you can invent your own shapes, because a tangram has no single "ending".

Who is it for?

This puzzle is a great choice for a child who enjoys brain teasers and is just starting to develop spatial imagination. It will also appeal to adults who want a break from cubes and to try something different. It requires a different way of thinking than solving a 3x3, so it can be an interesting addition to a cuber's collection or a small gift for someone who loves logic puzzles.
