Illusion Cubes

How do you play Illusion Cubes?
There are two ways to play with these flat, two-sided tiles that look like 3D cubes.

Select a challenge from the 120 in the game booklet.

Then its time to arrange the tiles to reproduce the image in the challenge. You'll need to work out which side of the tile needs to be up and how it fits with the other tiles in the pattern.

Or, use the tiles to create your own optical illusions.

This game is mesmerising and can be relaxing to play. Its a bit zen.

What can you learn?
- spatial visualisation
- cognitive illusions (when the visual assumption of the world doesn't match reality)
- concepts of symmetry and patterning

THINKercise twists
- build a design with a line of symmetry. Try to do this with different numbers of tiles.
- build a design with a line of symmetry but where what is white on one side is black on the other (grey remains the same). Try this with different numbers of tiles.
