Abstract:
1. A puzzle comprising: a base having a receiving area; a plurality of removable puzzle pieces, the puzzle pieces sized for placement on the receiving area and cooperating to form an assembled image; a sound generator mounted to the base and arranged for connection to a power source; a first substrate and a second substrate arranged for placement beneath the receiving area, the first and second substrates formed from the same folded piece of a single paperboard blank, the first substrate having a conductive pattern operatively coupled to the sound generator, the second substrate having a conductive dot facing the conductive pattern and spaced away from the conductive pattern, the conductive dot and at least a portion of the conductive pattern disposed beneath a selected portion of the image; the conductive dot and the conductive pattern both formed of a conductive ink and being relatively displaceable to thereby permit contact between the conductive pattern and the conductive dot upon pressing the selected portion of the image on one of the removable puzzle pieces such that a lower surface of the puzzle piece directly contacts an upper one of the first or second substrates such that the first and second substrates cooperate to form an electrical circuit, thereby activating the sound generator.
