Maison Battat's Arkitec is a new line of premium 3D building puzzles designed specifically for teens and adults. This product range offers an affordable and screen-free hobby that results in a detailed, display-worthy model of famous landmarks and lifestyle scenes.
Maison Battat's Arkitec 3D building puzzles collection launches with two distinct formats — CityVision sets that allow builders to reconstruct iconic skylines like New York City and Paris, which are then displayed in a decorative TV box equipped with LED lighting, and Miniscapes, which are themed, activity-inspired scenes that incorporate moving parts and wind-up motors to bring the completed build to life.
Each puzzle is priced under twenty dollars, a notably accessible price point for a premium hobby product, and will be available exclusively at Walmart in the United States starting at the end of March.
