I have one of the 9 piece Scramble Square puzzles. We cannot figure it out! I think the company says if you can figure out in 5 minutes or less, they will send you a free one. You can go to their website to verify. As far as I can tell, there isn't an answer key anywhere. Maybe you can have a puzzle contest at your store ( SWGB suggested?) The puzzles themselves are quite educational, with interesting facts about the subject matter.
The website is: www.b-dazzle.com

Their catch phrase is Easy to play but Hard to Solve.
ages 4 to 104!

Thanks for the website. We have a few contests in mind for the store in the next couple of months. A puzzle contest might be fun!

Does Smiling Joe need Sunshine Kid to help him get the rafting guys safely back in the boat?

I think Sunshine Kid and Smiling Joe would have a blast at any of these events. What a team!

If you can figure out the answer to the Flamingo Scramble Squares, I will buy you a drink! Or bow at your feet! You would be a hero to my son!

I finished the d*** puzzle. After sending the company an email, they responded to me. The answers are in their catalogue. With this information, they gave a hint, describing the piece that goes in the upper left hand corner and the direction it should be turned in. I had 4 kids helping me, using process of elimination theories (and 4 kid's opinions on what to look for!) All 4 of them gave up (1 was bound and determined to figure it out but Game Cube College Football was very distracting in the background so he gave up.) Finally, after an hour more of trying to be methodical in the eliminations, I solved it. My daughter took a picture of it solved but I won't post it because anyone who wants to do this puzzle, you can have at it! The answer will be kept inside the camera for safekeeping! I will bring it to Perpetual Imagination's puzzle party and see if anyone else can solve this. I know I cheated using the hint but I needed to get up off the floor and get on with my life LOL!

I'm confused. Did you play the puzzle online or is it one purchased at PI?

It appears that the website has examples of the puzzles, but that's it.

When it comes to that rafting puzzle, I'll take all the help I can get. I spent 30-45 minutes on that sucker, and still had one person not fit into the boat. I guess he drowned.
