Puzz 3D is the brand name of three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles, manufactured by Hasbro and formerly by Wrebbit, Inc. Unlike traditional puzzles which are composed of series of flat pieces that when put together, create a single unified image, the Puzz 3D series of puzzles are composed on plastic foam, with part of an image graphed on a stiff paper facade glued to the underlying foam piece and cut to match the piece's dimensions. When the pieces are put together, they create a standing structure.
Puzzles
Typically, the structures released were famous landmarks, including the White House, Big Ben, CN Tower, and the Neuschwanstein castle. In addition to this, Puzz 3D has also released science-fiction themed puzzles, such as the Millennium Falcon spacecraft from the Star Wars franchise, and structures from legends such as King Arthur's Castle at Camelot. Puzz 3D also released buildings of notable time periods, including a Victorian Mansion. In addition to these structures, they have also produced classic cars, such as the 1956 Ford Thunderbird. Puzz 3D also released a puzzle based on Monopoly, which allows for putting the puzzle together and then playing the game. The puzzles released also include a New York City puzzle, which includes the area around the World Trade Center and the Empire State Building. This New York puzzle is set before the September 11 attacks so the Twin Towers are included. This puzzle is Hasbro's largest, at 3141 pieces.
Games
Puzz 3D games were also made for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh computers. Users first build the puzzle, which is a digital version of an existing 3D puzzle, by clicking and dragging the pieces. When completed, a fictional mystery must be solved taking place in that landmark. Four games were made for Windows and Mac. These are Puzz 3D: Neuschwanstein Bavarian Castle, Puzz 3D: Notre Dame Cathedral, Puzz 3D: The Orient Express, and Puzz 3D: Victorian Mansion. A fifth game was also made of The Lamplight Manor featuring a 3D tour when completed.
