Who said that puzzles had gone out of fashion! Puzzles have actually stepped right up into the 21st century and there is a fantastic range for adults available on the market. One range I have spotted is Map Jigsaws, these are a brilliant idea, not only for any puzzle enthusiast but also as a personal gift for friends and family.
Map puzzles are jigsaws of any specific area that you want, you can request any area/postcode and a map in jigsaw form will be designed especially for you. There are a number of different versions of map jigsaws available such as Aerial, much like the google images. So it is a image of a detailed location such as specific house or memorable spot. The images are recent so the jigsaw won't be a picture of an area over 10 years old! Another style available is Landrange maps.These are a wider image of an area such as village or small town. They look much like the typical image of a map and cover the surrounding area. Ideal for remembering where you grew up or you local town. A bit of knowledge of the area will help when building your puzzle!
My favourite has to be the Victorian map version. This is a map jigsaw of any area dating back over 100 years!! Perfect for any history buff to find out what their local area was like all those years ago. These puzzles make a great gift to celebrate a house move, birthday, specific landmark or just a personal treat for any puzzle enthusiast. Once the puzzles are completed why not have it framed and hung in your home or office.
They come as either 200 pieces or 400 pieces, depending on how difficult you would like the build to be. Why not get creating something personal to you or your family. You could hang a framed jigsaw of your local area now and also over 100 years ago! Get the whole family building and enjoying these fabulous map puzzles.
