Many people start puzzles by building the frame from the edge pieces, but Yetch Studio's Edge Piece Puzzle turns that familiar strategy into a fun new challenge that offers a fresh, unexpected experience. In this unique puzzle, 408 out of 512 pieces are edge pieces, and the fully assembled scene forms an aerial view of a meandering river, complete with organic twists and turns, lily pads, rocks and creatures like fish, foxes and ladybugs.
The Edge Piece Puzzle: Summer Day on the River features a design illustrated by Elin Östberg, and as "the world’s first certified (almost all) edge piece puzzle," this deceptively difficult natural scene to put together promises to test patience and persistence alike.
