ThinkFun Kaleidoscope Puzzle Instruction Manual

Color Mixing Guide

Each of the six Tiles contains a dierent
combination of two of the three primary colors
(red, blue, and yellow). To recreate patterns
with the secondary colors (orange, green, and
purple), layer the following:

Orange: Red + Yellow Green: Blue + Yellow

Purple: Red + Blue

Tips and Hints

1. When layering Tiles, all edges of the Tiles

should line up.

2. When mixing colors, sometimes you’ll only

need to layer half of a section to make a
secondary color.

3. Pay particular attention to any clear spaces

that are part of a pattern. This could help you
decide between a Tile that has colors across
from one another and a Tile with colors side
by side.

Solutions

Some challenges have multiple solutions, so
don’t worry if your solution is dierent from
ours. If the colors you see match what is shown
on a Challenge Card – YOU WIN!

ABOUT THE INVENTOR

Kaleidoscope Puzzle™ was invented at
Medici Creativity, a technological product
development rm based in Taiwan that has
created and developed numerous toys and
games. Alex Li, the CEO, is a rm believer in
implementing concepts from basic consumer
electronics into traditional games. He created
Kaleidoscope Puzzle with the help of his
student and fellow electrical engineer, Terry
Yang. Alex drew on his knowledge of Liquid
Crystal Material Optics and LCD Display Color
Mixing, while Terry assisted in the development
of the logic challenges.

To make this green
section, the right half
of a blue section was
layered with the left
half of a yellow section
