Challenge Students to Build Brainteaser Puzzles

With these classic brainteaser puzzles, students can infuse their own creative design – then play and solve them together! ThinkFun brainteasers provide a classroom-bonding experience and a lot of creative, brain-building fun!
Getting Started
As a group, you’ll need to decide:

  • Where will you create and display your puzzles? We recommend designating a special Puzzle Corner.
  • Who will choose the puzzles?
  • How often will you build new puzzles? Will you create a schedule?
  • For advanced Puzzle Corners, who will develop the Hint sheet?

Building the Brainteasers
For each brainteaser, we supply instructions and an explanation to help you build it. The puzzle you create must have clear instructions and be easy to touch and play. Let your creativity shine and make these as simple or fancy as you wish!
