Inspired by topological spaces that continuously tile, the infinity puzzle has no fixed shape, no starting point, and no edges, and can be assembled in thousands of different ways. It’s a pretty challenging wood puzzle that tiles in the plane, meaning that any piece on the bottom can be moved to the top and a piece on the right can be moved to the left. Topologically, it is equivalent to a torus, which can be described by its fundamental polygon showing how edges of a square map to each other to make a closed shape.

The single pack costs $40, comes with 51 pieces in smallest size at 6×6 inches. Multiple copies of the puzzle can be combined in different colors to create abstract patterns and shapes.
