The goal? Try to fit all of the puzzle pieces on the game board before the timer is up! The easiest way to get started is to place one piece inside, close the lid and shake until the piece falls in a spot on the board, then open and start the timer as you try to fit the remaining pieces inside! There are also challenge cards that give you a specific shape to make in a set amount of time. Here’s a TikTok video that shows how to play. It requires AAA batteries, so pick some up here.
BuzzFeed contributor John Mihaly has this to say about this game:
“We love the classic version in our home, and it’s been in heavy rotation since we got our hands on it. The object of the game is to finish a puzzle using all 12 Kanoodle pieces. The 2D version lies flat, while the 3D version (you can play both with this set) requires you to build a pyramid of pieces. Simple, fun, and challenging (harder puzzles reveal fewer pieces to start).”
Promising review: “Very easy to use and fun for all ages. Great gift idea and is small and compact, so you can take it anywhere with you!” —Jocelyn
