Based on a 2,000 year old brain teaser by the Greek mathematician Archimedes, Colorgram is a modern take, designed to relax your mind.

There are 14 calming coloured pieces - in various shapes - nested in the storage box, which also doubles as the playing board.

The aim of the game is to form a perfect square from those pieces. Sounds easy? Well, there are actually over 500 ways to make a square, so how many can you find? Each square creates a beautifully calming and colourful image for you to enjoy.

The puzzle is a great screen-free way to reduce your stress levels, and it'll enhance your problem solving skills whilst boosting your memory too.

The pine wood we use to make this puzzle comes from sustainably managed forests, which means new trees are planted to replace any that are cut down.

More information:

The "Archimedes Puzzle," or Stomachion, is one of the oldest known mathematical puzzles, developed by the famous Greek mathematician Archimedes about 2,200 years ago. The puzzle involves arranging 14 irregular pieces (derived from a square) to form a larger square.  Mathematician Bill Cutler determined in 2003 that there are 536 unique ways of assembling it into a square shape. Solutions are found by trial and error, recognizing patterns, aiming to fit all pieces perfectly; you can try making other shapes too. It’s a game of mindfulness and an excellent brain training puzzle.
