Abstract: A multilayer three dimensional puzzle includes two or more planar layers supported by separators in a spaced relationship to one another. Each layer consists of assembled interlocking puzzle pieces. Assembled, spaced apart layers form a scene with a three dimensional effect. The assembly forms a rigid self supporting structure that can stand on a horizontal surface or be supported from a single point to hang as a mobile. Each of the puzzle layers can be printed on both sides to increase the assembly challenge and permit viewing from all sides. The three dimensional effect can be accentuated by providing a slight curve to one or more of the layers or dimensioning the separators to place the planar layers at a small angle to one another.
