Ecru Puzzles - Mystery Puzzle #11
For serious jigsaw puzzlers only: this 145 piece "mystery" wooden jigsaw puzzle does not come with a picture on the box (though the image is hidden inside the box in case you need to sneak a peek, or want to label the puzzle box afterwards.)
The image is a beautiful Japanese print, but that's all we will tell you about it.
The puzzle design is by Jef Bambas and is a bit tricky, you might find this puzzle really hard.
Our Ecru Puzzles line is characterized by a closer cut and a matte finish to reduce glare. Like all our puzzles, made of 1/4" thick laser-cut wood and made in the USA. Packaged in a blue box with a magnetic clasp.
6.5" x 9.75" completed

As DR mentions below, there is a second mystery to this puzzle. As I did the puzzle the first time, I noticed that lots of the pieces seemed to be burned on the backside like they had accidentally sat on an electric stove too long. I forgot about it as I did the puzzle, but as I put the puzzle back into the box, I noticed the “burn” again. I was hungry for another mystery puzzle, and figured I’d see if there was enough of this “accident” to assemble as a puzzle. It was much harder then the “real” side, but made a bit easier by having some experience already with the puzzle shapes. I was 3/4 done when I realized it was not accidental burn, but rather was a second mystery and in theme with the first. Delightful!

I loved this little puzzle! It was so fun to do, and it's gorgeous once finished!
Challenging enough, but still done within a couple of hours.

This was my first Artifact puzzle and it was a lot of fun because of the uniquely shaped pieces and border. The colors are really gorgeous and when finished evokes a lovely, serene woodcut. I’m considering framing the picture instead of sticking it to the box because it’s so pretty. Bonus: there’s another picture on the backside that’s even more of a challenge to put together. You’ll enjoy this one.

Fun fun fun! This was my first mystery puzzle, and I can not wait to order another. My first thought when I put all the pieces out was "oh no", but bit by bit it came together, and 2 hours later, I had the beautiful image complete. If you have never tried a mystery puzzle, give it a try; it gives a new level of puzzling satisfaction.

My husband and I loved every little bit of this puzzle. And by little bit, I mean LITTLE bit! This puzzle is small, but that doesn't mean it's not incredibly difficult. Because it's a mystery puzzle, we didn't know - and didn't want to know - what it looked like. (There's a picture hidden away in the box if you want it, though.) All we knew was that it was a piece of Japanese artwork. We imagined it would be beautiful and it did not disappoint.
My husband is very good at puzzling. Together, we did this in 2.5 hours of focused work. It was incredibly hard to put together, but it was also an incredible delight. Highly recommend! 👍👍👍
