Challenger Puzzles!

challengermovie 

A difficult but do-able personalized photo jigsaw puzzle. The pieces of the Challenger Jigsaws are handcrafted by an experienced puzzle maker utilizing their skills and imagination...

To start off with, forget about starting the puzzle with the traditional straight edge borders. Challenger Jigsaws have irregular borders which contain "Outies" (knob/tab), the penetrating puzzle piece and "Innies", the holes into which they fit.

The "inside" of the puzzle contains a conglomeration of puzzle pieces including false straight edge and corner pieces to confuse the most indulgent puzzler. Now add a confusing variety of "Outies" and "Innies" puzzle pieces that do not appear to fit together. A challenge to be sure!

The puzzler must first assemble the "covered" pieces of the puzzle, forming a completely blank jigsaw puzzle. The next step is to carefully peel off the "coating" of each of the puzzle pieces. Now, piece by piece part of the image of the puzzle is exposed. Finally, the full photo is revealed and the mystery is solved.
