When I was a kid, origami was a hobby I delved into with a passion. All these years later, and I just discovered that November 11th is World Origami Day! Today’s puzzle, originally named Yokibunkastu (“container dividing”), is themed around folding, so I thought it would be appropriate for the occasion. Draw walls to form pentomino (5-cell) regions around the paper cranes.
Boxing Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, usually the day after Christmas. Originally, it was the day that alms boxes were opened, and the contents distributed among the poor. Today, some of that spirit remains, but it’s also a shopping holiday similar to Black Friday. Naturally, it seemed a good fit for a Fold-a-Box puzzle. Draw walls to create pentominoes to box up the various gifts.
It’s the time of year for every parent’s favorite task. Figure out how to wrap oddly-shaped packages! Of course, for this puzzle, the boxes are invisible! Each bow is already in place, and you must draw the border lines to reveal all the presents.
