Petravic Sebastian Taste Puzzle

I have created a puzzle in which the only way to solve it is by taste. I was interested in the way sight affects the way that we think things tastes and how we have become accustom to certain flavours  being a certain colour. When these visual clues have been taken away, it is much more difficult. I have tried to make the colours for the drinks, the drink containers, the puzzle pieces and the mat  misleading and confusing. This should create an interesting experience for the user because of the  way they will have to only rely on taste to solve a problem and try and not be fooled by their eyes. Instruction There are 9 different flavoured drinks, all with randomly chosen colours. After trying a drink with a  straw, the user takes the puzzle piece that is the same colour of the outside of the container and  places it on the mat, on the flavour that they think the drink is. After all puzzle pieces have been  placed, if the user can see a hidden message, they have correctly solved the puzzle.
