This puzzle is formed in the shape of a square composed of elements of different shapes and sizes, which are stacked in 2 layers. The whole puzzle is made out of plexiglass, the frame/box in which you put the pieces is opaque white, and the pieces are transparent, in primary colors - red, yellow, blue.
When you put together the pieces for the first square, you take the rest of the elements and assemble a new square on top of the first one. When you stack the pieces in two layers, the primary colors overlap, creating new, secondary colors - orange, green, purple.

Each layer consists of an equal number of elements - six, two of each color, and they have to form a square without any gaps.
When the pieces are removed from the frame, by arranging and overlapping them arbitrarily you can create lots of different two-dimensional shapes.
Also, the elements have slots which allow the pieces to merge. By connecting the pieces you can create different three-dimensional forms such as animals, or something abstract.
