Lovely puzzle with a rather unusual image. The text in the background is the dictionary definition of “summer”, not the lyrics to the song Summer of 69 as I was expecting 🙂
For the puzzle challenge, this is # 22, No people or animals. This was the 30th and final puzzle for the puzzle challenge this year. I have added links to all the puzzles I’ve done for the challenge on my post about it from January.
This was a lot of fun, a cartoon style puzzle with scenes from old movies.
My favourite is Harold Lloyd, hanging on to a clock in Safety Last! from 1923:
There is also Marilyn Monroe doing the famous air vent scene from The Seven Year Itch (1955), and beside her, Charlie Chaplin.
King Kong has been filmed many times, but I assume this is from the 1933 version:
For the puzzle challenge, this is #17, makes me laugh.
A vintage Ravensburger with a bit more vegetation than I prefer. More difficult than I was expecting. For the puzzle challenge this is #27, a mountain.
I did two puzzles from the Ravensburger Exit series, Dragon Cave and Treacherous Harbor. In Treacherous Harbor, the light in the lighthouse has gone out and a ship is approaching, and in Dragon Cave you have to help a dragon to get an egg to hatch. You can peek at the finished images here (dragon) and here (harbor).
I’ve decided not to do anymore dedicated spoiler pages for Exit puzzles (I’m not really good at the puzzles in the puzzle anyway), but you can still find links to photos of the finished puzzles and to the Ravensburger help page on the general spoiler page. I’ve also added links to photos of the English page in the instruction booklet and the solution in the envelope for all Exit puzzles that I’ve done.
For the puzzle challenge, Treacherous Harbor was #10, uneven number of pieces, and Dragon Cave #16, edges last.
Another installment in the Ravensburger Lost Places series. I think I have all of these 🙂 It was a nice a puzzle, although I fail to see what’s so mysterious about the library. For the puzzle challenge, this will be #18, a library or a book case.
Despite the border I did the edges first with this one. The colours are a bit muted, and the puzzle was more difficult than I was expecting.
For the puzzle challenge, this is #1, a selfie. I actually thought I wouldn’t find a selfie among my puzzles, and I was thinking of getting a puzzle with a self portrait by Frida Kahlo, but then I saw a photo of this puzzle on FB and realized that I have it, and that right in the middle they are taking a selfie.
Reasonably easy and enjoyable Ravensburger. For my puzzle challenge this will be #13, Campfire.
This was fun and easy! I picked out pieces for different backgrounds and then filled in the rest.
For my puzzle challenge, this is #11, Recognizable breed of dog. Snoopy is a beagle 🙂
Despite the enormous sky this puzzle was not hard at all. It’s an older Ravensburger, from 1982, and as usual, the cut is perfect. It’s so distinct that you often see a piece and know just by the shape where it belongs, the same way you can see a piece and think “oh, that’s the other half of that lamp”. Really enjoyable puzzle!
The puzzle challenge I’m doing has extra monthly challenges that are communicated as (Finnish) songs, and the song for February was “In the Winter” (“Talvella” in Finnish) by Fröbelin Palikat, who apparently make music for children. Anyway, I used this puzzle for the February challenge.
I had completely forgotten that I’d started this puzzle back in December, so it was a nice surprise when I got back to Dortmund yesterday for my first visit of the year. This was a lovely puzzle, although a bit more challenging than I was expecting.
It even fits in with the puzzle challenge, even though I started it long before I knew what would be included for 2025: this is No. 4, a peek inside.
