Based on a mathematical shape called a hyperbolic paraboloid, hyper tiles are simple, super-versatile shapes that can be linked together in an infinite number of combinations. Unlike traditional building sets, these tiles connect in nonlinear and unpredictable ways, meaning the shapes you create are often like nothing you've ever seen. Plus, hinging connectors allow many shapes to flex and rotate in on themselves in fascinating ways.
Change how we play, explore, and learn. What makes them so unique and exciting is that you really are exploring when you play with them. And you really have no idea where that exploration is going to lead. Let's see... If I connect two tiles this way, but then add a third one this way and then repeat that pattern... WOW! I didn't see that coming!
What can you use your creations for? Well, that is entirely up to your creativity and imagination. A place to hang your jewelry. A centerpiece for the dining room table. A climbing structure for your hamster. A decorative mobile (hang it near a sunny window and the shadows are amazing). Superhero crown and wristbands. A hyperbolic surface for playing a whole new version of tic-tac-toe.
The package contains 48 hyperbolic tiles in 8 colors, 80 flex-grip connectors, and instructions.
