The Impossible Square is a deceptively clever wooden brainteaser that will have kids and adults scratching their heads in the best possible way. Based on Niek Neuwahl's original "No Fit" design from the 1990s — also known as Mitsunobu Matsuyama's paradox — it looks like it simply cannot be solved. That's exactly what makes it so satisfying when you finally crack it. A wonderfully thoughtful gift for puzzle lovers of all ages.
