Polycube Puzzle Known as Kolor Kraze

This thirteen-piece puzzle has twelve brightly colored plastic pieces that consist of two small cubes of different colors and one that consists of three small cubes. The small cubes come in nine colors, three of each color. They can be arranged as 3 x 3 x 3 cube. The goal of the puzzle is to have all nine colors showing on each face of the cube. This example of the puzzle is in a transparent plastic box which is too large for it. The box has no lid.

The shape and number of the pieces in puzzles 2012.0091.06 and 2012.0091.07 are the same, although the coloring is different.

The size, colors and arrangement of the puzzle corresponds to that of the Kolor Kraze puzzle copyrighted in 1970 by House of Games Corporation in Don Mills, Ontario, Canada.
