Wasgij Junior #1, Cris glacés ! (240 pcs)

On the box of the Wasgij Junior #1, Iced Screams! puzzle, a beach day is in full swing: a family gathers around a pink and white ice cream van, where a smiling vendor scoops out the day's first cones. Right beside it, a huge green creature with sharp teeth and red spikes bursts out from behind the van, jaws wide open, as if startled by the icy chill of a bite taken too fast. On the sand, a woman with her sunglasses pushed up on her head clasps a hand to her mouth, eyes wide, while a young boy next to her shows the same shock. A little further along, a boy in a wheelchair watches uneasily as a long emerald-green tentacle appears to rise from the ground, while a girl dressed as a mermaid stands at the center of the scene, flanked by a dog on a leash and a curious crab.

Because in a true Wasgij puzzle, the picture shown on the box is never the one you assemble. The concept flips the logic of a traditional jigsaw: instead of recreating the printed image in front of you, you have to imagine what happens next to the characters, then piece together this brand new version of events. The series tagline sums up the challenge: don't puzzle what you see, puzzle what happens next. This Wasgij Junior edition adapts that formula to make it accessible from age 8, offering a fun first taste of observation and deduction.

This kind of challenge is perfect for young jigsaw puzzle fans who love to observe, deduce and imagine before even touching the first piece: the characters' expressions, the position of the tentacle, or the flight of the seagulls all become clues worth studying. The 240 pieces offer a challenge that is both engaging and manageable for kids aged 8 and up, a screen-free activity to enjoy solo, with family, or with friends. This lively, humor-filled scene was created by illustrator Aaron Blecha, known for his expressive characters and over-the-top creatures across several puzzles in the Wasgij Junior series.
