Price: $400

   
Introducing our new Advent Calendar Puzzle! This year, why not puzzle your way through the holiday countdown? Included with this special puzzle are the village scene above, which is assembled first, and 24 "replacement" pieces, each one tucked into its own pocket in the nifty caddy shown below at center. Each pre-Christmas day in December corresponds to one replacement piece in the caddy. You must find the piece in the puzzle that is its twin, and swap them as shown below at left. The sleepy winter village will begin to come to life as windows light up, decorations appear, and people come out into the streets. Each replacement piece is numbered on the back in gold, so that when the holiday season is over and the puzzle is disassembled, you can return each special piece to its proper pocket in the caddy and be ready for next year.

A replacement piece is substituted for one of identical shape, illuminating a window above the bakery.

The caddy has been designed to fold and fit neatly in the box with the puzzle. The bakery corner has "awakened" with four replacement pieces.

Dimensions: 12.5" x 10"

Pieces: 154

Price: $230

Fair or "fowl"? That is the question. Is it fair for almost every puzzle piece to be ENTIRELY color-line cut, including the interlocks? Obviously, we think so. To those who disagree we say: Quit your squawking! With very few color cues to help you, solving this one will give you something to crow about!

This is not a trick puzzle, but a challenge nonetheless due to the many "dropout" spaces. The animals interlock with each other and with the ark to nest securely inside. There is room for a short name or initials in this puzzle.

The bottom layer shows the reef edge where dolphins frolic among the schooling fish.

When the second layer is added, a coral arch allows a dolphin to peek through from below.

Some additional reef denizens make an appearance as figure pieces.
