The present invention relates to puzzle games, and more particularly to a symbol-based puzzle game where the user solves the puzzle by filling puzzle boxes with pre-selected symbols.

Polytopes are a three-dimensional logical toy having a family of naturally formed or inherent symmetrically shaped planetary bodies creating an amorphous composite member unit. Said three-dimensional planetary symbol-bearing bodies inherit a symmetric form based on the number of solution wells per symmetric configuration. Each planetary body is allocated to be user rotated about its axis of symmetry which is collinear to an axis traversing the geometrical centerpoint of the composite member unit. A solution well is an alignment of adjacent symbol-bearing faces contributed by an array of planetary bodies when rotated and aligned creates a sensory symbol-bearing logical solution within the well-like features. The composite body is formed by arranging at least 2 planetary bodies with contributing surfaces equally divided to access each adjacent solution well. Well symmetry is preferred and occurs when there is an even number of planetary bodies. This invention describes the 4-, 5-, 6-, and 8-planetary body configurations with emphasis on the preferred embodiment of the 6-planetary body configuration.

A puzzle set comprises a plurality of cubes, each configured with a drawing at one or more of its facets; and an interface configured to cause the cubes to be positioned one adjacent to the other while permitting a change in disposition and rotational state of any of the cubes. The drawings are designed to allow continuation of one another, by which viewable contiguous facets define together a composite symbol, upon positioning the cubes in accordance with a predetermined arrangement. At least one of the facets is rotatable in relation to other facets when the cubes are positioned one adjacent to the other, allowing rotation of its drawing without separating the cubes. In a method for generating a viewable object, a facet is displaced and rotated until the drawing on each of the viewable contiguous facets are in continuation of one another to define together the viewable object.
