A game apparatus of education and entertainment purposes comprises a number of building pieces and a number of connector pieces. The building pieces have peripheral edges that employ slots to receive complementary sized portions of the connector pieces. The connector pieces have a number of different configurations to permit creation of a variety of three dimensional shapes, including arranging building pieces at right angles, and oblique angles. The building pieces can have indicia thereon to create text, images, or combinations thereof when put together. The building pieces are modularly sized so that differently shaped and sized pieces can easily fit together.

1. An interlocking apparatus for education and entertainment comprising a plurality of building pieces and a plurality of connector pieces, each building piece further comprising:a) a building piece portion having a periphery, a first thickness, and opposing first and second faces; b) the periphery comprising a first connector portion extending along at least a portion of the periphery, the first connector portion having a second thickness, and having one of a slot or a protrusion; c) each connector piece having at least a pair of second connector portions, each connector piece with its second connector portions being rigid, each second connector portion being complementary to the first connector portion by having a slot if the first connector portion has a protrusion or a protrusion if the first connector portion has a slot, so that one building piece can be connected to another building piece using a connector piece, wherein a portion of the plurality of the connector pieces have second connector portions that are right angled with respect to each other and another portion of the plurality have second connector portions that are obliquely angled with respect to each other, whereby a three dimensional figure can be built using the building pieces and connector elements.
