World's Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzle: Campbell's Souper Hard 500 Piece

Only 500 pieces. That is the trap.

Campbell's soup, the most cheerful thing in the pantry, which seemed like a perfectly pleasant subject for a puzzle until TDC Games got involved. It finishes at about 38 cm square, small enough for a card table and large enough to ruin a weekend.

Every piece is the same shape, so you cannot sort by edges or knobs, and the puzzle is printed on both sides with the same picture, one side turned 90 degrees. Any piece could go anywhere, face up or face down. It is 500 pieces in the way a marathon is a jog.

Perfect for: The person who finishes a 1000-piece puzzle in an evening and has started mentioning it.
