Bepuzzled Classic Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle - Foul Play & Cabernet, Red

This is a well-made item and the recipient love it.

My family put this puzzle together on vacation...we had a great time and got it finished...it was a challenge but the story and puzzle were great!

Keeps you occupied. Still not out together fully. Would be nicer if there was more instruction, if it said it out was one puzzle or multiple and give an idea of how many pieces for each one if it's multiple. Have no clue on the mystery of it yet since it's not finished. Husband and teen daughter have been putting it together.

Gift for my wife and she loved it

This mystery puzzle was given to me as a gift a few years ago, and this time we purchased 2 to give as gifts. It's a fun challenge not to have any idea what the puzzle looks like! The story really doesn't give you any idea of what the puzzle looks like, but the finished puzzle gives whodunit clues to finish the story.

I saw something similar for a MUCH higher price on a novelty website so I came to ol' Amazon to see if I could find it here. This is not the exact one from the other website, nor is it the same brand. But it's wonderful all on it's own! A unique idea. I had a kid's version of this type of thing when I was younger, and it turns out the concept definitely holds up. I'm always looking for fun things to do as a family and sometimes board games and crafts get old, especially during a pandemic when we're stuck inside. And SOMEONE in my family HATES jigsaw puzzles. But he loves mysteries. So I presented to them: THIS ITEM. It was a hit! I love it. They love it. It's great.

I’ve done two and cannot wait to do more!Let me set the scene: you open the box and find a story. You read the multiple page, well written and intriguing story of a murder! Then you solve a puzzle with no picture to get clues and solve the murder! It’s the most fun to do with friends because you talk about the story and feel like you’re living it with them! Such a fun puzzle!

Thankfully, all the pieces were there. But that's where the list of "pros" ends.**SPOILERS AHEAD**As soon as we opened it up and saw the monochromatic nightmare in front of us we knew we were in for a terrible time. Then there's the mystery story, which was nice enough when we first read it, but after we solved the puzzle and reread it to solve the mystery, the story had almost nothing to do with picture! Lots of misnamed items of importance (a hand saw is different from a jigsaw, a rifle is different than a shotgun) made these important "clues" completely useless, and ultimately NONE of the clues in the story actually pointed towards the mystery's solution.We finished Death on the Istanbul Express and did not have any of these issues, so this ones a dud. Hopefully, their other puzzles are better.VERDICT: DO NOT BUY. It's boring, it's not fun and wouldn't please fans of mysteries OR fans of puzzles!
