Product Description

So what is a pictomaze? Created by master puzzle maker Kazuyuki Yuzawa (aka "Mr. King," for how he sits atop the Japanese puzzle maker's throne), each pictomaze is an intricate maze that, when solved, reveals an image of an animal. It's a mental workout, requiring a brain-stretching amount of focus and concentration while testing one's problem-solving ability and short-term memory. And it's fun! As the line of your pencil twists and turns, a picture of an animal is slowly revealed. There's a chimpanzee. A tiger chameleon. A great horned owl. A red panda---and more. Once the animal is complete, the puzzle is solved. Now, color in the path to bring the creature to life, and try the next mystery maze.

Publisher's Description

The compulsive joy of problem-solving meets the mindfulness of coloring in a new puzzle challenge from Nikoli, the original creators of Sudoku. Ordered by level of difficulty, easy to hard, these 53 mazes combine brain-stretching concentration with an almost meditative workout of your short-term memory. Start to follow the maze, and as the line of your pencil twists and turns, a hidden image ingeniously comes into focus. Voila, it’s an animal! There’s a chimpanzee, a great horned owl, a common sawshark, a red panda, and more, each with its own distinct spirit. Then color in the path and really bring your PictoMaze creature to life!
