Abstract: Disclosed are toy systems for creating and fixing an array of polygon shaped plastic beads together to form a design. The toy systems can include a tray, a plurality of beads, and a template. The plurality of beads can engage pins on the surface of the tray. Each of the beads can be configured to fuse or adhere to adjacent beads upon drying after the application of liquid to the plurality of beads engaged to the tray, forming a fixed array of beads. The template can be configured to engage the pins of the tray between the tray and the plurality of beads. The template can provide a design for the plurality of beads and can be used to remove a fixed or loose array of beads from the tray.

Abstract: Disclosed are puzzle devices for production of one or more puzzles. The puzzle devices can include a body and at least one input device. The body can include a plurality of panels, each panel configured to display one or more visual indicators. The at least one input device can include a plurality of panels, each panel configured to display a visual indicator. The at least one input device can move relative to the body to align one or more panels of the input device with one or more panels of the body. The body can further include a plurality of visual output devices configured to generate visual indicators on the plurality of panels of the body.

Abstract: Disclosed are toy pieces, each toy piece having a body with a first arm and a second arm. The first arm can have a first engagement portion. The second arm can have a second engagement portion. The first arm and second arm can be configured to move relative to one another to transition the toy piece between a resting or disengaged state and a tensioned or engaged state in which the first engagement portion is releasably secured within the second engagement portion. At least one of the first arm and second arm can be biased when the toy piece is in the tensioned state such that an application of an external force to the toy piece above a threshold causes the toy piece to rapidly transition from the tensioned or engaged state to the resting or disengaged state.

Abstract: Disclosed are toy systems for creating and fixing an array of polygon shaped plastic beads together to form a design. The toy systems can include an upper tray, a lower tray, a plurality of beads, and a template. The plurality of beads can engage pins on the surface of the lower tray. Each of the beads can be configured to fuse or adhere to adjacent beads upon drying after the application of liquid to the plurality of beads engaged to the lower tray, forming a fixed array of beads. The upper tray can be configured to engage the pins of the lower tray between the lower tray and the plurality of beads. The upper tray can be used to remove a fixed or loose array of beads from the lower tray. The template can provide a design for the plurality of beads.
