Puzzle Impossible Clear Jigsaw Puzzle

A jigsaw puzzle with no helpful colors is a fairly specific way to spend an evening. The pieces here are clear cast acrylic, so the usual habit of grouping blue sky and green grass gets you nowhere. It suits a puzzler who enjoys studying how pieces fit more than watching a picture appear.

Choose 9, 25, 49, or 144 pieces, or get all four versions as a set. Each finished puzzle is just 6 by 6 inches, so a higher piece count means more work within the same small square, not a larger result. The 9-piece option offers a modest introduction to the idea; the 144-piece version is a better bet for the recipient who finds ordinary jigsaws too forgiving.

TABLAhandmade makes these to order in the USA. For date night, the appeal depends on both people enjoying a stubborn little problem. If the satisfying part of puzzling is filling in a colorful landscape, the clear acrylic takes away exactly that reward.
