<p>It looks similar to the

<p>It has blocks in different arrangements- L shaped joined, three-in-a-line joined, single. Colours were red, blue and black. The objective of the game as I remember it was to put the tiles/ blocks together in different ways to make a pattern shown in a book that comes in the set, the over-all pattern usually contained in a square outline. Levels range from easy to hard, definitely a game that adults can attempt too. Someone said Tetris but it's nothing like that, although the blocks are similarly structured. Got this as a present when I was younger but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. </p>

<p>edit: Comments below say it's a variation of Tangram and pentominoes and I think that sounds about right! Hopefully this image will help identify the name. <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/6mfEx.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/6mfEx.png" alt="tiles such as these are used to make patterns, you gotta arrange different shapes to form the pattern in the template"></a></p>

This sounds like a Tangram, but you describe shapes that are not in the basic one. Maybe a variant of it?

It looks similar to the
