PROBLEMÂ SOLVING
How was it made?
I created 70 puzzles, which range in difficulty (the number of pieces used). Below are the stips I took to create these puzzles.
A
Create a template
Using Adobe XD, I created these templates that correlate with the physical pieces that I would be using. The pieces came from a different game called Blokus by Mattel.
B
Completing a puzzle
My wife and I spent some time creating unique puzzles that ranged in difficulty. Many were inspired by the real world and some were random.
C
Create answer key
Because some of these puzzles were difficult to solve, I created an answer sheet for each puzzle in case everyone gets stuck, then they can still see the answer for the puzzle.
