Holiday Resort 2: The Hotel 1000 Piece Puzzle

The second instalment in a series about a hotel. Ravensburger are committing to the bit.

Holiday Resort is one of those puzzle series that quietly builds a following: a single location, revisited across several titles, each one crowded with small incidents you only notice once you have been staring at it for an hour. This is the hotel itself. The appeal of the format is that the detail is the point, so there is no dead zone of sky or water where the puzzle turns into an endurance test.

Busy illustrated scenes like this are the friendliest kind of 1000 piece puzzle, because almost every piece carries something identifiable. It also means the finish is quick once the framework is in, which some people love and some people find slightly anticlimactic. Ravensburger cut every piece individually and their Softclick fit keeps assembled sections together when you move them. Finished size is 70 by 50 centimetres.

Perfect for: The sort of person who reads every sign in the background of a film.
