It is possible to customize these models and improve them, to make them unique. Note that some models require several boxes to be made.
Carapaces promises many hours of creative pleasure alone, with the family or in a group. Be warned, it’s very addictive.
How does it work?:
Carapaces is so easy to use: Just clip to create. The 100-piece set features 10 different clip-on triangles. To start your first creation, just take 2 triangles, clip the 2 sides of the same length with a simple pressure. You can either follow the instructions in the booklet or follow your intuition to make your own sculptures. You can clip and unclip your creations a lot of times very easily. The triangles can be used to make new creations. Each of the triangles has 3 sturdy hinges that also allow you to animate your creations such as doors or joints. The game is aimed at everyone from 14 to 99 years old. The youngest can play but must be accompanied because of the small pieces and the pointed triangles.
Durable, Eco-Responsible & Social-Responsible:
Carapaces is manufactured 100% in France with injection molding machines which consume little energy compared to other manufacturing methods. The different triangles are made of easily recyclable and durable PP plastic because they are solid and infinitely reusable. You will be able to make and undo your creations for a long time without using glues which could be toxic for the environment. The boxes are packed in France by people with disabilities in special centers that provide them professional activities and medico-social and educational support. Workers in France are well treated and work in very good conditions.
Why a Kickstarter campaign?
To offer Carapaces to the world, we need funding to launch a mass production of at least 100 boxes. That’s why we need you. Finally, we also need to know if you like this new 3d puzzle concept. Thank you for your support.
