Like, how closely do you let yourselves follow the box art? Do you time yourselves? Do you break apart any pieces stuck together at the outset or just consider those a gimme?

    We have seen the “wasgij puzzles”, but don’t remember doing any. I think it was “The Observatory” by Ravensburger, listed as an escape puzzle had a section that was different than pictured . I did not like it because the puzzle was too dark, difficult to see. We usually avoid the mystery type puzzles.

    More on box art: I think White Mountain (not sure on brand ) includes a stand to hold the box top and many include posters.

      I’ve done one of the escape puzzles. The concept is pretty neat… like an escape room in jigsaw format. You make the puzzle, and the picture has a couple of things in it that you need to solve. The idea really spoke to me, as I really enjoy escape rooms. But unfortunately I didn’t quite follow their logic. So it was hard to solve.
