Jigsaw puzzle meets whodunnit with a retro twist!
Join private investigator Joan St. James as she heads to the biggest charity event of the season to solve a mystery: Gregory, the chihuahua, has been dognapped! Owner Victoria Talbot is distraught. After all, he’s the face of the dog-food business that has made her a millionaire.
Who committed this crime? Darren Brewster, the angry ex-husband? Maurice Beauvais, the obsessive dog groomer? With this special mystery puzzle format, you must complete the jigsaw to reveal the visual clues that solve the case. A nifty VHS-shaped box and highly detailed artwork make this the perfect analog activity for parties and cozy nights in. Get ready for a caper full of wacky high jinks and memorable characters, all wrapped up in a fabulous 1980s atmosphere.
Distinctive Twist on the Jigsaw: In this mystery puzzle, the full image is a secret until you complete the jigsaw because it contains the crucial clues you need to unravel the mystery. Double the puzzles to solve equals double the fun.
Nostalgic Appeal: For any lover of TV sleuths and feathery haircuts, this 1980s-themed mystery puzzle is the ultimate gift. Plus, the 500-piece puzzle is packaged in a box shaped like a chunky VHS tape, making it an enviable coffee-table centrepiece.
Totally Rad Illustration: The finished puzzle image by beloved artist Sally Nixon features neon pastel colours, cleverly hidden details, and plenty of shoulder pads.
Game Night Fun: This playful puzzle is a perfect analog activity to bring friends and families together; pull it out at parties for a fun, collaborative challenge!
