puzzle toy

Hands-on brain game

A puzzle toy is a toy designed to challenge the user to solve a problem—fitting pieces together, navigating a maze, or manipulating parts to reach a solution.

Rubik's Cubes, jigsaw puzzles, and sliding tile games are classic examples.

For pets, puzzle toys dispense treats when the animal figures out the mechanism: The dog spent twenty minutes working the puzzle toy.
