Wasgij Contemporary Jigsaw Puzzles

How to Choose Wasgij Jigsaw Puzzles

Wasgij puzzles provide humourous fun for the whole family. Instead of displaying the completed puzzle on the box like most jigsaw puzzles do, Wasgij puzzles each feature an box illustration that hints at the completed puzzle for an extra challenge. Since the debut of Wasgij puzzles in 1997, Jumbo Games has released over 80 of these puzzles, some of which are collector's items.

When picking Wasgij puzzles, keep these factors in mind:

• Condition: When buying a used Wasgij puzzle, check that it still has all its pieces. You might also want to make sure the illustration on the box is vivid enough to help you complete the puzzle.
• Difficulty: Wasgij puzzles range from about 50 to 1,500 pieces.
• Illustration: Each puzzle comes with a pair of humourous illustrations depicting scenes, such as restaurant dinners, fishing trips, and farmer's markets.

Each Wasgij puzzle has a concept that tells you how to complete the puzzle using the illustration on the box and a hint image. These are the Wasgij puzzle concepts:

• Wasgij Original: This concept has the premise, "What are they looking at?" and features a box illustration of people reacting to a surprise in front of them. The illustration of the completed puzzle shows the surprise to which they're reacting.
• Wasgij Destiny: For this concept, the box illustration and puzzle illustration depict the same event in the past and future, respectively. "The Puzzler Arms!" puzzle asks you to predict how a 1980s pub might look in the present day.
• Wasgij Mystery: This concept is based on the premise, "What happens next?" and asks you to predict how the scene on the box unfolds a moment later.
• Wasgij Imagine...?: This concept looks at how the world would be different if history had gone in another direction, such as if the wheel hadn't been invented.
• Wasgij Back to...?: This concept is the reverse of Wasgij Destiny, imagining how modern life might look in the old days.
• Wasgij What If...?: This concept looks at how the world might be different under all sorts of zany circumstances.
• Wasgij Christmas: These are Christmas-themed Wasgij puzzles that follow the Wasgij Original concept.

New and used Wasgij puzzles alike feature a variety of colorful subjects, such as:

• Sports: Wasgij puzzles depicting funny sports scenes include "Football Fever," a Christmas-themed look at football night, and "Dropping the Weight," a glimpse of athletes at a gym.
• Politics: The Wasgij puzzle "If labor Wins the General Election!" makes fun of the politics of Parliament.
• Shopping: Wasgij puzzles such as "Shopping Shake Up" and "The Toy Shop" look at the funny side of shopping.
• Other: Other fun subjects in this puzzle library include family barbecues, birthday parties, daycare centres, and crime scenes.
