The Tree puzzle is both a fun Christmas puzzle and a unique Christmas decoration that you can (carefully!) hang on your actual Christmas tree.
The Tree puzzle consists of nine green-anodised aluminium pieces, embedded with magnetic 'baubles', and comes with a machined brass star, and an individually numbered and hand-stamped coin. Each Tree puzzle is designed, assembled, hand-finished, and packaged by Lee in Dublin, Ireland.
The colour pattern of the magnetic baubles on each Tree puzzle is randomly generated - alternating between gold or silver - which makes each puzzle unique. This means that seeing the photo of someone else’s solved Tree puzzle won’t spoil your puzzle!
For the mathematically curious - the Tree puzzle pieces are based on Tile(1,1), which is an exciting new shape in the world of geometry that was discovered in 2024. Tile(1,1) is a ‘weakly chiral aperiodic monotile’ that can fill 2D-space on its own, without ever introducing a periodic repeating pattern.
