This 4-in-1 Squeeze-Me-In puzzle comes with a parallelogram board, three small pieces, and nine large pieces. As you can see in the picture above, the four small pieces are tucked into the four small empty cutouts, just like they look. The nine large pieces are arranged to fit snugly into the parallelogram board. The picture below shows how the puzzle looks before all the pieces are on the boards. There’s a little figure in the lower right corner of the square board that shows you how to put the nine large pieces back into the ready-to-play setup.

The challenge here is to fit one of the small pieces into the big parallelogram board, along with the nine bigger pieces, without any of them overlapping. You’ll have to shuffle, turn, and flip all ten pieces to get it right. This puzzle is 4-in-1 because it has four small pieces, and each one is its own puzzle to solve. These four puzzles can be quite challenging because each one has just one right answer.
