Unidragon, the makers of fine wooden puzzles, is promising a different kind of puzzle in time for Christmas gifting.
If you or a loved one like puzzles, this may be the gift of the season.
Unidragon calls the puzzle a Quezzle, a combination of a quest and a puzzle.
The puzzle itself comes in four sections, or worlds, each of with a thousand pieces. It depicts the world of Cappadocia and its hot air balloons. By assembling the puzzle, you are completing a quest to save a princess from a villain.
But that is where its resemblance to a jigsaw ends.
Hidden in the puzzle are secret messages and riddles. Once the puzzle is assembled, the game doesn't end. From there, you follow instructions for 50 tasks, go through 10 mazes, solve six secret puzzles and build four mini-figures.
