Puzzle #13: Canal Park, Duluth
Tricky one with some weirdly shaped pieces. Took us 3-4 days. Finished a while ago but forgot to post. Fun that it's fairly local.

Puzzle #12: Crazy Crop (9 missing pieces)
I can only assume the missing pieces have been spread to the far reaches of the planet to prevent the puzzle from being completed and the evil within fully unleashed upon the world again. The horror. The horror...

Puzzle #11: Dungeons & Dragons
This one was *tough* with lots of weird shaped pieces and lots of repeating line work. Took us like a week, especially bc the two color nature of it. But it turned out so good!

Puzzle #9: Murdle in the Hedge Maze
Another mystery-style puzzle, this one about a fancy dinner party interrupted by murder. It can be solved either by logic or using the maze on the puzzle. A very cute experience.

Puzzle #8: The Orient Express: A Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle
This went much faster than the Recipe for Murder one and took just one day. One missing piece. I took out the part that gives the solution. The story is ridiculous - Marple also shows up for no reason. Still fun.

Puzzle #6: Amid Verdant Forest Splendor
This took us the longest of any so far - 4 days. The green was tough. But also I love monkeys, so a really nice one. 1000 pieces and the bottom strip wasn't pictured on the box, so an added challenge.
