In partnership with Finnish interior designer Eero Aarni, Tactic Games made the Mini Home sets to offer design-centric brainteasers. The Mini home sets take the form of dining sets with 12 chairs, benches and a table, all of which can be neatly packed back into the clear house-shaped box for storage and transportation—which is part of the puzzle challenge. Mini Home is available in a [range of colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reglow), as well as a Big Mini Home option, which includes furniture for different rooms of the household. The [furniture-themed puzzle sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-martini-set) were created with both kids and adults in mind, as they have the potential to amuse both design enthusiasts and those with a desire to play. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Design-centric Puzzle Toys:** Creating puzzle toys that combine design elements with building challenges, offering a unique and engaging experience for users. - **Compact and Portable Puzzle Sets:** Developing puzzle sets that can be conveniently packed and transported, providing a portable entertainment option for users. - **Multi-purpose Puzzle Toy Sets:** Designing puzzle toy sets that serve multiple purposes, appealing to both kids and adults and catering to various interests. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** Exploring innovative ways to incorporate design elements into puzzle toys, creating an engaging and interactive experience for users. - **Home Furnishing:** Integrating puzzle elements into furniture sets, offering customers a unique and playful shopping experience. - **Interior Design:** Collaborating with game companies to develop puzzle toys that align with design principles, expanding the reach of interior design into the toy market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tetrahedral Desk Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-puzzles.md) - [Tiny Decorating Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-spaces.md) - [Puzzling Removable Tray Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-puzzle-table.md) - [Jigsaw Puzzle-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf.md) - [Elegant Desktop Brainteaser Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-tetra.md) - [Puzzle-Style Inclusive Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nook-furniture.md) - [Puzzle Video Game Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sara-hyat-tetris-sofa.md) - [Block Puzzle Modular Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept.md) - [Interlocking Puzzle-Like Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-table.md)
