Cobble Hill: The Crowded Tree 2000 Piece Puzzle

The title is a warning and you should take it as one.

Two thousand pieces of something described as crowded is the puzzle equivalent of choosing the hard difficulty on purpose. Busy artwork is easier than it looks at this size, though - a dense image gives you detail to sort by, where a 2000-piece sky or sea will genuinely defeat people.

Cobble Hill's random cut earns its keep here. No repeating shapes means you can commit to a fit instead of endlessly testing near-misses, which over two thousand pieces is the difference between finishing and quietly putting the lid back on. A reference poster comes in the box.

Perfect for: The fortnight between Christmas and going back to work.
