I’ve by no means been an enormous fan of jigsaw puzzles, however the items of artwork the Magic Puzzle Firm makes so that you can assemble are a delight. For starters, every has beautiful and distinctive paintings — whereas there are a number of artists who’ve contributed to the corporate’s puzzle lineup, all of them really feel associated, full of colour, whimsy and a bunch of secrets and techniques you’ll discover as you construct. The puzzle items themselves are high-quality and stable, one thing that goes a good distance in direction of making a puzzle enjoyable to place collectively.

However my favourite half is the truth that when you end the principle puzzle, you’re not performed. Every has sections that may slide round after you are performed, which opens up a brand new center space to be crammed in with a bonus part of items. This new addition seamlessly suits into the puzzle and expands on its story. It’s onerous to explain, but it surely’s in contrast to something I’ve seen in different puzzles. I’m fairly agnostic about my puzzle-makers, however I’m itching to get my fingers on extra from the Magic Puzzle Firm and discover their secrets and techniques. — Nathan Ingraham, Deputy Editor
