Abstract

A set of interlocking elements capable of being joined together to form a corner piece of a puzzle game that constitutes a three-dimensional pictorial representation of a building-like structure. In one embodiment, the set of interlocking elements comprises a first element that can be folded into a corner configuration. A second generally planar element interlocks through a dovetail-type joint with the first element to maintain the first element in a folded, corner-like condition. The first and the second elements are provided with image-bearing surfaces that constitute individual pictorial entities contributing to a complete representation of the building-like structure. When the first and the second elements are interlocked, the image-bearing surfaces unite visually to provide image continuity over the exposed surface of the corner piece. In a second embodiment, the set of interlocking elements includes three discrete planar elements that unite through male/female joints into a T-shaped configuration.
