Welcome to Qurator's Mischievous Mondays!

This will be a weekly competition that we will be hosting every Monday. We want to see a little more engagement and fun when it comes to some of our competitions so this will be a simpler and shorter competition. Easy to enter, but maybe not so easy to win. ;) This competition will be similar to the Monday Missions we had a long time ago, but instead of writing posts to enter we will now consider only the comments and answers on this blog as your entry to win.

Why Mischievous?

We all could use a little fun in our lives. We would even say that we deserve it, let loose a little and have a go at making everyone laugh or think a little, even if it is a little over the top or pure silliness. Go all out and let your creative juices flow.

Make up your own word right now, and write its definition. Don’t forget to use your word in an actual sentence!

This week's theme : Invent a new toy

Toys have come a long way in since we were children. Now almost all toys are using some kind of batteries with fancy flashing lights and sounds. What if you could you could invent your own toy? What would it be, what would it do and how can kids play with it?

My toy would be for teenagers and adults, as I really like riddles and puzzles it would be something like a 3D puzzle as if it were a rubik's cube that would form various geometric figures recharging its batteries mechanically and at each achievement it would give us a riddle unlocking levels to continue creating.

It might be a bit difficult, but it would be a game to develop patience, concentration, analysis, visual intelligence, it is not a game for those who give up easily.

Thanks for the prize 15 days ago, I was disconnected because of bad internet. Happy week to all, buy my toy. 😁

First of all thanks for the win on creating my own word. There's nothing muffafluggan about that!

Invent a new toy

This is not an easy one since the market is already so huge.

I like doing jigsaw puzzles & have completed at least 500 of them in various sizes in the past 7 or so years. I don't do them as much anymore but have tons of them waiting to be completed.

On to the toy which I would call 'The Puzzler'.
The Puzzler would teach one how to put a puzzle together. It really takes a special kind of person to do puzzles as I do and I always get the question of how to do a puzzle.

The Puzzler would be a box, rather sizeable that contains about ten different puzzles inside. the top of the box would look like a small table when opened out, this would be the surface to hold the puzzle pieces as you work the puzzle. It also would be magnetic as well as the pieces. The box itself, does not open.

You choose the puzzle you desire to work and the pieces to that puzzle comes out a slot in the back ledge of the table. You then work the puzzle. There would be an instruction manual that explains one of the best ways to put a puzzle together. This is a simple process of working the edges of the puzzle first to form a frame for the rest of the puzzle. And of course there would be lots of tips included.

This would come in puzzles that are categorized by skill levels and number of pieces. A box that contains higher levels and skills would contain fewer puzzles as these puzzles would have a larger number of pieces. Say a box with 2 puzzles that each have 2500 pieces and of course the box would be shorter and wider to accommodate the larger working space that is needed.

I'm not good with graphics but this is similar to what I'm thinking.

I think this about covers the description for 'The Puzzler'.

I think it would be really cool to be able to play with assembly parts, I always liked this idea of assembling miniature planes and submarines, but I think something bigger could be done.

So my play would be to offer guided assembly projects for vintage car replicas, but realized in significantly larger sizes than the usual toys.

The toy car would be converted to electric operation.

After assembly, you would have a functional replica in a scale suitable for use by 8~10 year olds.
