Olympic Squares - Wooden Tray Packing Puzzle

Olympic Squares by Lucie Pauwels is a A Logic-Driven Tray Puzzle Inspired by the Games

Conceived during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, designer Lucie Pauwels traded the classic round Olympic rings for a clever grid of intersecting squares. To ensure an elite-level challenge, she selected a unique set of completely different pieces and omitted the traditional five colors that would make the puzzle too easy. The result is a clean, stunning, and highly intellectual puzzle manufactured to Pelikan's world-class quality standards.

The Challenge
Unlike traditional packing puzzles where you simply fill an open cavity, your goal here is to pave a restricted, intersecting pathway using a set of relatively simple shapes. The true complexity and beauty of this puzzle lie in the overlap—the intersections of the paths create tight spatial constraints where pieces constantly get in each other's way.

By strategically deducing where the larger, more complex intersection pieces belong, you can bypass mindless trial-and-error and navigate your way to the single, unique solution. It is a highly logical, deeply satisfying challenge that looks absolutely beautiful when completed and displayed.
