Peking Opera Mask is a puzzle game that abstracts Peking Opera characters, aiming to help children establish their understanding of ‘abstract to concrete’ in a geometric form, expanding their imagination.

It is designed specifically to address the following pain points:

There is a lack of educational tools related to Peking Opera in the market, resulting in children being unable to systematically understand and learn about Peking Opera.

The younger generation's interest in Peking Opera is gradually diminishing, and traditional teaching methods for Peking Opera are less attractive to children.

Urban parents often lack the time to take their children to experience Peking Opera culture in person.

The original intention of Peking Opera Mask's design is to allow children to freely assemble different Peking Opera characters using building blocks, unleashing their imagination and creativity while nurturing their spatial and logical thinking. Peking Opera Mask is easy to use, requiring no specific equipment or environment, allowing for enjoyment of free combinations anytime, anywhere.

Furthermore, the building blocks are made from environmentally friendly and safe materials, reasonably priced, highly playable, and use water-based paints that are both aesthetically pleasing and safe. The product brand has strong potential for expansion and offers excellent DIY opportunities. In the future, a family tree of Peking Opera characters can also be established. The product itself has an elegant design and can be kept as a decorative item for the long term, aligning with the concept of sustainability.
