Experiment No.8 - Puzzled over this
Another KS egg, another surprise.
Unfortunately, this experimental report is lacking the picturesque configuration as the equipment necessary for the inclusion of real eye-openers is lacking at this very moment. As such, your brains will be stimulated only through the words which, as any other published on this page, will be 100% objective.
This surprise is a puzzle consisting of 3 rows of 5 pieces.
I) Design, etc.
These pieces are very thin and made out of very-very light cardboardy material. They barely filled 50% of the bottom half of the capsule => design and quality are quite low. However, the pieces connect perfectly, and as such the mark is somewhat higher than zero: 3/10
II) Puzzle Details
a) The puzzle is of rectangular contures, and actually represents 1 fourth (top right corner) of the total drawing. Drawing is nicely coloured, and the characters: giant lizzard, large goose, and two gargoyly (purple and grey) characters do seem fun. Hence, the use of colours and funness of the drawing make it 8/10.
b) However, as much this puzzle does not make sense - 3 gigantic monsters on top of a roof of the structure from which a goose is leaning out, it seems that the whole puzzle is nonsensical, i.e. full of sporadic things that just seem to be space fillers.
If this is some insane world where crazy characters of human-house sizes are playing on the roofs of those very same houses - then, who are the houses for? And who is flying a green airplane? -> Its size corresponds to human use, and yet there are no humans here; How could they be?!? So, very much an incoherent world - probably the drawn participants do not know how to live it in it themselves. Mark: 4/10
III) Series includes 3 more drawings, so that in total one "grand" picture is yielded - 20x13.5cm (Author's Note: We do metric system here!). That means 60 pieces, which could have nicely fitted in 2 kinder eggs are spread out in 4 eggs to provide upon (potential) completion a crazy drawing that may be laughed at - and thus enjoyed in a way, and then left to collect dust. Not a great series; mark: 5/10.
IV) Toyfulness - not a lot of playing time with not a lot of pieces. And, besides - puzzles are to be engaging, not easy. Mark: 3/10
Final mark: 23/50 = 4.6/10
