Cocodice is the shortened brand name for Corner Contact Dice, an award-winning game that stimulates logical thinking and is similar to its successful predecessors, the legendary Rubik's Cube, Domino, Mah Jong Tiles and Jenga.
Cocodice unites all these fun games to create a unique toy for children aged 5 and up, as well as adults. Cocodice helps develop spatial depth perception, mathematical, geometric and strategic thinking. The game consists of individual black and white dice, with different corner markings that can be held together and interlinked thanks to integrated magnets. The players are given different tasks to complete and forms to build using the dice. The corner-marking principal of Cocodice makes this toy playable for blind people too.
Cocodice designers, Budapest-based Co&Co Communication, won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in 2011 and have just launched the game worldwide. The Cocodice product line includes the toy itself as well as a larger, furniture version destined for schools, playgrounds and children entertainment facilities.
