Jigsaw Puzzles
Friendly place to discuss puzzles and share pictures of jigsaw puzzles you have completed. Please do not keep posting the same puzzle over and over again or puzzles other people completed. If you do a puzzle a second time, you can post it again but wait about 30 days between posts and let everyone know you did it again.
Be sure to list the name (if known) puzzle brand, piece count. If you want to remark on quality, artist or degree of difficulty it is ok too.
The only time I might downvote or remove a post or comment is if it is inappropriate. I fully understand and appreciate that not all of us have the same skill levels, financial or physical ability or the same amount of time to devote to doing jigsaw puzzles. Therefore I always upvote every puzzle posted, even if may not be one I truly like.

I kinda glance at the box art at the beginning, then go it without after.
Are you familiar with "wasgij puzzles"? Those are puzzles where the box art is just a hint and the actual puzzle image is "what the people in the box art are seeing" or "what happens a few moments from now", there are a few variations. So you don't really know what the image will be.
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.
