The Ultimate Puzzle

I have to design a set of 6 stamps for the UK ( so needs some sort of British theme really ). The brief is to try and make them interactive and make teenagers and young adults want to start collecting them. I have many ideas but am still not fullt happy with any of them. I want something really unique.
Here are a few of my ideas
-Stamps that can have a section for the viewer to draw on them to make each one that little bit individual in some way, eg like a face shape and you have to draw in the eyes mouth and nose etc, or something on those lines.
-One that is like a fortune cookie and you can peel a section of the stamp off to reveal your future.
-One that shows and image and then if you use a magnify glass and you’ll be able to see a puzzle or maze or something for you to solve.
-Ones that are in the shapes of jigsaw pieces and when you collect the 6 and put them together it creates an image.
Some of these are ok but if you have any crazy random ideas please let me know

The idea of making them interactive and also desirable for stamp collectors is, to some extent, conflicting. Perhaps the best of your suggested designs would be the jigsaw pieces.

Another idea might be to have them overprinted (in a panel incorporated in the design) with different dates, so that they could be used for sending birthday cards. This would create a good market for stamp collectors, as there would have to be 366 in a complete set. It might also boost the Post Office’s flagging sales of postage stamps. If the idea took off it would mean terrific sales for Royal Mail.
