An idea by Julien Selz.
UNITED SQUARE began in 2011. One square, four coloured triangles and the desire to connect them: Julien Selz imagined a game that invites people to handle, explore and play with the same shapes. The idea then took different forms.
A MEETING · EDUCATION
Exploring together, sharing the approach.
Stéphane Robert discovered UNITED SQUARE at a fair. A mathematics teacher and trainer introducing mathematics through board games, he proposed working with Julien on its educational development.
He wrote the educational worksheets and enabled UNITED SQUARE’s presence on Éduscol. The box also credits his contribution to the challenges.
DIFFERENT FORMATS · DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES
One universe, many ways to play
UNITED SQUARE begins with a box of 49 pieces, played on a virtual grid of 25 or 49 spaces. From the outset, one principle guides the game: assemble the pieces by matching their colours.
This visual language then takes shape in three dimensions with the UNITED SQUARE puzzle cube. Its patterns extend from one face to the next through shared colours. Once the faces are scrambled, however, restoring that continuity becomes an unexpected challenge for expert puzzle enthusiasts. Cube² comes next: a version with 25 tiles, without a board, in a cubic box that is easy to take along.
Each version offers another way to play. Plateau Puzzle adds a board to organise the game. The magnetic edition combines hands-on play with numerous challenges. Mini-cubes to assemble explore constructions in three dimensions in turn. With POSTER, the game also becomes an object to display, on a wall, on its easel or around a table.
