These brain puzzle posters are an advertising campaign created by JWT, a Dubai-based advertising agency, for chocolate brand [Kit Kat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-campaign)’s mini bars. So while you take a break with a Kit Kat, you can do a quick bit of brain gymnastics like completing a maze, solving a crossword or a Sudoku puzzle.

I cannot help but think that it might take more than one mini-bar to get through the brain gymnastics, but I guess that is the whole point with [advertising campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamies-treats): to make you want more!

In fact I could do with one right now, thank you.
