New Toy Reveal! Block Chain Brainteaser Cubes by ThinkFun - Aesthetically Pleasing and Challenging Brainteasers!



ThinkFun, the company dedicated to making educational toys totally fun and inviting for kids and adults is now slated to release Block Chain™  later this month! 











Block Chain™ by ThinkFun has three titles featuring artwork by three different designers each with three different levels of difficulty. The Block Chain line (available for purchase on Amazon) features three cube puzzles designed by Laurence Grenier. Each set contains three of the same puzzles, but each has its own unique artwork with a fun twist (pun intended!). Each Block Chain set gives credit to the puzzle maker and the artist giving each Block Chain set a very personal touch. 


The artwork really makes Block Chain™ a lot fun and very inviting for the younger crowd, especially if this is their first brain teaser! Robots Block Chain is designed by well-known toys and games illustrator, Kenny Kiernan. Pirates is designed by Mike Ray, and the artwork is really detailed and edgy. Unicorns is fun, cute, bubbly, and totally kawaii and is designed by Squid&Pig.






As much as the artwork brings Block Chain to life, the puzzles are still challenging. The puzzles, designed by Laurence Grenier, make each cube its own unique game. 



Instructions for each title are the same! The images are what makes each of these titles so fun!



Don't be fooled by my simple explanation as there is a level of skill involved. The images must match up correctly if piecing a cubed image together.

Solve each cube in three different ways, but all three titles at launch will have the same puzzles with their own artwork. This does not make Block Chain boring at all, it actually made me want to play each title to see how well I could solve each puzzle. For instance, the Robots title's first cube Block Chain is to manipulate the cube to turn the blue robot into a red robot. The Unicorns title's second Block Chain cube is a pinãta that has to be twisted and manipulated to create a burst of candy. Finally, the Pirates Block Chain's last puzzle is to match the treasure map's color-coordinated pathways to create a complete map. 




Not only is Block Chain engaging, fun, challenging, but the artwork is aesthetically pleasing and it is very well made. You will also be impressed with the high quality coated paper that is very durable -- as you can see, it's so durable that it withstood some toddler testing! My three year and seven-year-old sons love Block Chain and while they couldn't quite solve the puzzles their first go, they enjoyed manipulating and working the cube back together!









Block Chain by ThinkFun are launching January 25, 2021, on Amazon with three titles Robots, Unicorns, and Pirates, and will be $10.99. 

Big thank you to ThinkFun for giving us a first look at Block Chain! Check out my unboxing videos where I solve each cube!
