This system allows users to create four different pictures with the same six pieces by sliding the pieces into, over and under each other in different ways. This MOZANIAC set forms “Madame Matisse” by Henri Matisse, “Woman in a Large Hat” by Amadeo Modigliani, “Portrait of Dora Maar” by Pablo Picasso and “Self-Portrait With Monkey” by Frida Kahlo.

Offering a humane alternative to making decisions with a real wishbone, this 100-sheet notepad features an image of a wishbone on every page and utilizes the unpredictability of tearing paper to help decide your fate. Each sheet has a starting point for tearing, and the notepads are also available with a heart design (Lovepaper) or a triangle (Decisionpaper). Inventor Daniel Young described the appeal as the “thrill of submitting yourself to chance.”

This system allows users to create four different pictures with the same six pieces by sliding the pieces into, over and under each other in different ways. This MOZANIAC set forms Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977), Mark Twain (1835-1910), Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) and Albert Einstein (1879-1955).

This system allows users to create four different pictures with the same six pieces by sliding the pieces into, over and under each other in different ways. This MOZANIAC set forms “Self-Portrait” (1889), “Self-Portrait With Grey Felt Hat” (1889), “Self-Portrait in Front of Easel” (1888) and “Self-Portrait With Bandaged Ear” (1889).

These playful forms serve not only as magnets and decoration, but also form a simple puzzle. Solving the puzzle is just the beginning, however, as the product is designed to inspire creativity and insight. The bean shape is meant to represent the concept of yin and yang in a real and interactive way.

This is a lightweight and simple, yet tenacious, game that features an 8.75” square board that allows flat game pieces to stand up with a full 3-D effect. The pieces are designed so that they can't be blown away or shaken out, and only move when a player wants them to. Also, a checker piece can turn into a king simply by rotating the piece to show its crown.

MOZANIAC is a patented, expandable picture-puzzle system in which the same flat, modular puzzle pieces can make four or more pictures. Everything depends on how the pieces go over and under each other, revealing and hiding part of what is printed on them. Each completed picture holds itself together as an integral unit until it is taken apart to form the next picture. MOZANIAC is the most important development in picture puzzles since John Spilsbury invented the jigsaw puzzle in the 1760s, according to Daniel Young, founder of Paradoxy Products. MOZANIAC presents new visual and physical challenges of a very high order. The first series of puzzles makes four different pictures with the same six pieces.

The MOZANIAC Picture Puzzle System, in its simplest form, makes four consecutive pictures from the same six flat pieces. The system is expandable and will eventually offer more pieces and even more pictures from those pieces. In the Male Artists Puzzle, the six pieces on the left, printed front and back, make the four pictures on the right — Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse and Gaugin. Launch date: April 1, 2007.
— “MOZANIAC is a picture puzzle system based on interpenetrating modular pieces. It offers new visual, mental and physical challenges and will grow into a universe of puzzles over the next few hundred years. MOZANIAC requires [players] to both reveal and conceal visual material when they slide the pieces into each other, making it more challenging than a jigsaw puzzle, even with only six pieces,” Founder and Inventor-in-Chief Daniel Young of Paradoxy Products told TDmonthly. “When we begin to produce puzzles with even more pieces, puzzle aficionados will faint with delight.”
