Kanoodle — 12 pieces, 228 puzzles, one cult game

Kanoodle by Educational Insights is the brain teaser millions love: twelve colourful plastic pieces, a game board inside a fold-out case and a 48-page puzzle book with 228 challenges. Pick a challenge, place the given pieces on the board and fit the remaining ones so that every hole is filled — first flat in 2D, later as a pyramid in 3D. The puzzles progress from easy to fiendish, and because the case fits in any jacket pocket, Kanoodle is the perfect companion for train journeys, waiting rooms and holidays.

What's in the set

  • 12 pieces in bright colours made of durable plastic
  • Compact case with built-in game board (2D area and 3D pyramid grid)
  • 48-page puzzle book with 228 challenges of increasing difficulty

What Kanoodle trains

Spatial reasoning, logical thinking, perseverance and strategic planning — no screen, no batteries, no time pressure. For children from age 7 Kanoodle is playful brain training; for adults it is a genuine challenge: even experienced puzzlers rarely crack the last challenges at the first attempt. That's why the box says "7 to 107".

Who is Kanoodle for?

Solo players from age 7, travel and breaks, a gift for puzzle fans, a classroom activity (early-finisher task, quiet time) and everyone who would rather puzzle than scroll in the evening.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kanoodle for one child only? Yes, it's a solitaire game — but taking turns or racing for the fastest solution works wonderfully.

How hard are the challenges? A seven-year-old solves challenge 1 in minutes; the 3D pyramids at the end keep adults busy.

What if a piece gets lost? The case closes firmly and all pieces stay inside — the biggest advantage of the compact format.

Tips & tricks

  • In order: don't skip — the challenges build on each other and train new thinking patterns step by step.
  • Look first, then place: fill the awkward corners first, save the flexible pieces for last.
  • Advent calendar filler: Kanoodle fits in a large door and keeps kids busy until Christmas.

Age: 7+, 1 player. Warning: contains small parts, not for children under 3. Brand: Educational Insights.
