Preparing for a Puzzle:
- Open the puzzle book and select a challenge.
- Each challenge will show a starting configuration of some puzzle pieces on the grid.
- Place the indicated pieces onto the game board as shown in the puzzle book.
- The goal is to fill the remaining empty spaces on the board using the rest of the Kanoodle pieces.
Operation (Gameplay)
Kanoodle offers two primary modes of play: 2D puzzles and 3D pyramid puzzles. Both modes utilize the same 12 unique puzzle pieces.
2D Puzzles:
For 2D challenges, you will fill a flat area on the game board. The puzzle book will provide the initial setup. Arrange the remaining pieces to complete the designated shape or area without any gaps or overlapping pieces. There is only one correct solution for each puzzle.

3D Puzzles:
3D challenges involve building a pyramid shape on the game board. The puzzle book will specify the base configuration. You must then stack the remaining pieces to form a complete pyramid, ensuring all pieces fit together without gaps and form a stable structure. These puzzles often require a different spatial approach than 2D challenges.
