Hi Puzzlers! For 22 of our Ecru puzzles, we first sold them as mystery puzzles, where we didn't even show you the picture and there was no picture on the box, but we did give a couple adjectives and piece count.
For example, our newest one is Mystery Puzzle #17 (they don't come out quite in order) that we tell you is a charming ode to fairytales, and we've revealed this example piece:
About 4 months ago, we also changed our wood box puzzles (roughly those with more than 250 pieces), to not have the image on-the-box, and instead we are hiding the box-sticker inside the box.
So now we are wondering, does that satisfy people who liked the Mystery Puzzles? Should we keep making the Mystery Puzzles?
We'd love your feedback on this topic in general - you can post your comments below (they go to a human moderator, but should show up here in a day or so).
Yes please, keep the mystery puzzles. I actually wish you never revealed what they are, or as others have suggested, later offer a link to the image for those who must view the image to select an appropriate gift or pick for themselves. I also like the suggestion of being able to select whether the image is included on or in the box. However, as others have noted, that alone is not a true mystery. Thank you for the great puzzles. Offering mystery puzzles and your unique connectors sets you apart from your competitors.
