Process for making a puzzle and the puzzle made thereby
A process for making a puzzle includes the step of cutting puzzle pieces from a sheet of material and subsequently printing an image on the cut pieces. The resulting puzzle is far more durable than a conventional jigsaw puzzle and because of the process used to make it also benefits from the ability to replace individual pieces if lost. The puzzle is packaged intact in a packaging sleeve assembly designed to durably and aesthetically package the puzzle.
METHODS FOR FORMING MULTI-LAYERED IMAGE JIGSAW PUZZLES AND RELATED DEVICES
Multi-layered image jigsaw puzzles include images on opposing surfaces of an optically clear and transparent structure to allow each image to be clearly viewed from either surface. The images on both surfaces of the puzzle form a complimentary image.
Methods circuits devices systems networks and functionally associated machine executable code for a multipart dynamic digital puzzle
Disclosed is a multipart dynamic digital jigsaw-puzzle. Two or more physical parts or tabs are each adapted to present, over a digital display functionally associated therewith, a sub section of a provided digital image. The physical parts/tabs, when arranged in a specific orientation or arrangement, collectively recreate the original digital image from its sub sections. Connection elements retain adjacent puzzle parts/tabs to one another.

System for storage of puzzle pieces, sales unit of a puzzle and a method for manufacturing a puzzle
A sales unit of a puzzle with a puzzle which comprises a plurality of puzzle pieces which together form a picture with one or more motifs, as well as a storage container for the puzzle pieces, wherein the puzzle pieces of one picture are assembled into at least two or more groups with two or more puzzle pieces respectively, irrespective of the motif or motifs, wherein the groups of puzzle pieces are arranged separately from one another in the storage container. A method for manufacturing the puzzle as well as a system for storage of a puzzle with a storage container and two or more dimensionally stable sub-storage containers can include each sub-storage container receiving a group of puzzle pieces with two or more puzzle pieces.
Chocolate-based material puzzles
A puzzle of chocolate-based material puzzle pieces is formed by providing a transfer sheet having a design of food-grade material on a first side of the transfer sheet and providing a puzzle piece template having passages shaped as pieces of the puzzle. The puzzle piece template is arranged on top of the first side of the transfer sheet. The passages of the puzzle piece template are filled with a chocolate-based material. After crystallization, the chocolate-based material in the passages of the puzzle piece template form the chocolate-based material puzzle pieces of the puzzle. The chocolate-based material puzzle pieces are removed from the template.
