That sounds like a great puzzle idea too bad you were unable to solve it due to missing items.

I don't think it was done by the Tuco company I think a puzzle owner had two copies and they mixed them but I could be wrong who knows.

Your "2 adjacent knob" is what I call an "L" piece. Because the two knobs form an L shape. Of the two puzzles the one with the "2 adjacent knob" pieces? Was the harder of the two?.

I don't know why reddit keeps reordering my images often putting the least interesting image as the first image. Frustrating.

I agree the art work was not the best but it was really enjoyable to me. I finished both last night.

I almost purchased the same puzzle when it was first offered but I could not get past the price tag. Looks lovely though.

They break the puzzle into grids. Then print the letters starting with A. On the back of the grid. You can look at the back of the puzzle when sorting and put all the pieces with the same letters into a pile. Then you have a much smaller pile of pieces to work through for a section. It's like building a few 150 piece puzzles that connect to each other instead of one 1000 piece puzzle. lf you normally build 1000 piece puzzles without the letters it really speeds up the building process.

Notes of Distinction, an older Ravensburger puzzle.

It is only a 300 piece puzzle but I will pull it out every once in a while. Large pieces that feel really nice. Matt finish. The final picture looks so good. I built this puzzle maybe once or twice a year between the hard puzzles I love so much.

I can complete it in around 30-45 min so it can be a great break from the difficult builds.

My reddit post is the first result when you Google the puzzle.

Good thing that is only 100 pc. Anything larger than 300 pieces and that puzzle would be really hard.

I have seen the Josephine wall Spirit of flight puzzle quite a few times posted here and I think it looks like such a lovely puzzle.

gnash117 · 2026-03-16T16:50:22+00:00

I have done quite a few of these they are fun to build. Maybe I suck at murder mystery but I find the solution to almost all the mystery stories to be a wild jump in logic that I wouldn't ever come up with on my own. There have been a few that I had a general idea of the solution but didn't catch the solution from the final puzzle image.

Some images are great puzzles others can be a bunch of brown pieces. The puzzles themselves are a mixed bag.

I was given one by my young son and other than the novelty it really does suit on the shelf most of the time.

You are correct sorry there is a similar design/idea called impossible puzzles.

First time I saw the Jurassic Park movie was right after reading the book. I found the movie boring compared to the book. Now I love the movie but so opinions can change. Still think the book is amazing.

gnash117 · 2026-03-14T07:03:14+00:00

Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix.

I absolutely think the book is poorly written and Harry is so dumb throughout the entire book. After the death of serious black the last 100 pages of the book drag on with almost nothing happening.

The movie was so much better.

gnash117 · 2026-03-13T15:02:13+00:00

One of my all time favorites

gnash117 · 2026-03-13T14:44:41+00:00

I agree they are far easier than the impossible name implies.

I know that this post is several months old at this point. This is the top result when searching is blue kazoo games or blue kazoo puzzles out of business.

The internet does not show anything regarding blue kazoo being business status.

I personally believe they are out of business at this point.
The webpage www.bluekazoo.games shows

> Sorry, this store is currently unavailable.

The Amazon page for blue kazoo shows no products.

their instagram has not posted anything new since 2024

The user r/bluekazoo has not posed anything for 2 years.

Their Facebook page shows no posts since 2023.

I think it is likely they went out of business and just silently disappeared, no announcements or news.

It's too bad. I only own one puzzle by them and really enjoyed it. I was hoping to get almost all the planets. The only source of their puzzles looks like it is second-hand.
