    Did you look at the artwork on the box as a reference much?

      No. And it’s really hard to avoid it. The box has the entire puzzle and all the the piece shapes printed on the back, and the front has a picture of a big chuck of the center of the puzzle. I had to strategically avoid looking at the puzzle box when I pulled it out of box it was shipped in. I have a bunch of the other Krypt puzzles lined up, and I’ve had to hide them in my closet so i don’t accidentally peak at them. It’s kinda foolish, but I like the added challenge.

    I’ll never understand how single color jigsaw puzzles are sold.
    Take any puzzle you currently own and build it with all of the pieces flipped face-down.

      There’s a beauty in the cut pattern, that is the artwork. And a blank puzzle tells a story to the viewer about how it was assembled, you don’t get that with assembling backwards. I’m not really a puzzle person but I find this way more appealing than a traditional puzzle where the cut lines sort of detract from the artwork.
