Hello everyone!
This is my entry for the "Make Anything Design Challenge: PUZZLES"
The 15-puzzle (also called Gem Puzzle, Boss Puzzle, Game of Fifteen, Mystic Square and many others) is a sliding puzzle that consists of a frame of numbered square tiles in random order with one tile missing.
The object of the puzzle is to place the tiles in order by making sliding moves that use the empty space.
Since the first moment I'd started to think in this challenge my idea was to do something else than a simple puzzle, infact this is a very simple puzzle, but that's why I made a Braille version of this game for reduced vision or blind people.
The second idea was to design a piece that is PIP (Print In Place) and P&P (Print and Play), that's why the numbers are disordered except for the Braille version which is ordered (from 1 to 15) for a better initial recognition.
I would be very very happy if you know someone with this condition who you can print this puzzle.
I hope you can print it and have fun with it.
Happy Printing!
I have designed an optional base in case you want a surface where the keys have a better support on where to slide. Try it without it first.
