Who would love this:  Anyone who enjoys non-traditional, challenging & unique puzzles 

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the Kookaburra puzzle from Let's Play Games , and I was delighted by the fresh twist it brings to traditional puzzle designs. Today, I’m excited to share about the Kangaroo puzzle - a charming, wildlife-inspired puzzle from the Oceania Animals Series 1. 

Why I love ❤️ this puzzle: 

(1) 200 Pieces Puzzle With Natural-Inspired Colours

This Kangaroo puzzle consists of 200 pieces. Unlike traditional jigsaw puzzles with clear borders, this one lacks the traditional straight frame, but the thick black outlines on some pieces provide a helpful hint for the kangaroo’s shape. The real challenge lies in sorting the pieces by the subtle and distinct patterns. The color palette is a rich tones of yellow, brown, and nature-inspired greens. Each piece features unique patterns drawn from nature and leaf prints —swirls, curvy lines, circular shapes, and symmetrical designs—that guide the placement of pieces within the kangaroo’s divided sections. I love how the puzzle beautifully integrates intricate, nature-inspired motifs, adding depth and complexity to the overall design.

(2) Irregular & Unique Shapes - Spot The Wildlife Surprises!

Each puzzle pieces is uniquely crafted, with twisting, irregular shapes that deviate from the standard tabs and blanks of mass-produced puzzles. The edges, random and uneven, add a layer of challenge, requiring us to rely on our spatial skills and intuition to piece everything together. As we progressed, we were treated to a series of delightful wildlife surprises (and not just Australian creatures!). You’ll spot, amongst others, a giraffe, spider, emu, lion, snail, koala, lizard, alligator, an Australian map, and even a tiny kangaroo—all cleverly integrated into the design. As we assembled the puzzle, we marveled at the hidden shapes and the thoughtfulness behind each piece, making the experience as much about discovery as it was about completion.

(3) High-Quality, Laser-Cut Wooden Pieces

This puzzle is crafted from high-quality, laser-cut wooden pieces. The vibrant colors and striking artwork make it visually captivating, while the pieces fit together smoothly, sliding effortlessly into place. Packaged in a compact wooden box, it offers both convenience and durability. We’s loving this!
