Cubetoria™ Pentomino Challenges Volume 1: 6×10 Puzzle Set

Build. Think. Solve.™

Twelve pieces. Sixty squares. One way to fill them.

Pentomino Challenges brings the Cubetoria method to a flat grid. Your goal is to fill the 6×10 Cubetoria tray with all 12 pentominoes. Each challenge card shows a few anchor letters, and the piece with that letter has to cover that exact square. Use the anchors as clues, rotate and flip the pieces, and work out where everything else fits.

Every challenge has exactly one solution. When you finish, check your board against the answer key in the back of the book.
