We are all "master builders" in our own way, which is precisely the Greek translation of the word "architect". ArchiQuest is an open-ended, creative and intelligent building system that taps into this wellspring of youthful imagination and learning. Each ArchiQuest set includes handcrafted wooden blocks in simple and elegant shapes and an educational, hardbound book. Each book is fully illustrated with beautifully painted, original artwork inspired by some of the world's most famous architectural masterpieces. By arranging your blocks in different ways, you can create hundreds of different architectural designs. In many ways, ArchiQuest is like a unique puzzle, combining two-dimensional artwork and three-dimensional shapes to tease and challenge our creative intelligence. While ArchiQuest tests your mastery of space, proportion, symmetry, scale, and other architectural properties, it also requires having fun and a playful mind. Note: Each ArchiQuest block has been coated with a protective Permaseal Laquer finish. This safety-tested, glossy coating will protect your blocks, preserving them for generations of architectural play and discovery!"
