Our commitment to high-quality materials, intricate design, and the overall puzzling experience means that Pirouette Wooden Puzzles are not just puzzles—they are collectible pieces of art, designed to be treasured and enjoyed for years to come.
What are whimsical pieces?
Whimsical (whimsy) pieces are specially designed puzzle pieces often shaped like recognisable objects, animals, or characters. In Pirouette Wooden Puzzles, these whimsical pieces are more than just playful shapes—they’re integral to the story within the puzzle. As you assemble the puzzle, these uniquely shaped pieces serve as clues, guiding you toward the narrative that unfolds as you complete the image. Not only do they add an extra layer of fun and challenge, but they also deepen the connection to the story, making each puzzle an engaging and immersive experience.
What are standing story pieces?
Standing story pieces are unique puzzle elements designed to be placed into designated slots around the puzzling board once you've completed the puzzle. These pieces do more than complete the image; they bring the puzzle’s story to life. As the puzzle board turns and the music plays, these standing pieces cast shadows on the wall, adding depth and an interactive dimension to the overall experience.
What is the significance of the music box?
The music box is an integral part of the Pirouette Wooden Puzzle experience, designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. Once the puzzle is completed, the box plays a melody while turning, bringing the artwork and story to life in a way that transports you back to simpler times. It’s not just about puzzling; it’s about creating a multi-sensory experience that combines the visual beauty of the artwork with the timeless charm of a music box. This blend of sight, sound, and movement transforms the puzzle into a memorable journey, where each turn of the music box deepens the connection to the story being told.
What is a shadow show?
A shadow show is a unique feature of the Pirouette Wooden Puzzle that adds an enchanting visual element to your puzzling experience. Once the puzzle is completed and the standing story pieces are in place, you can use the included phone stand and your smartphone’s flashlight to cast shadows of the standing pieces onto a nearby wall. As the puzzle board turns and the music plays, these shadows move and create a dynamic, mesmerising display that brings the puzzle’s story to life in a whole new way.
Are these puzzles suitable for children?
While the puzzle is designed for individuals aged 15 and up, it is not classified as a toy. The intricate design and small pieces may not be suitable for young children. However, the Pirouette Wooden Puzzle can be a wonderful activity for adults to enjoy together with children, fostering creativity and connection as they work through the challenging and artistic elements of the puzzle. It's an ideal choice for older teens and adults who appreciate a more immersive and collaborative puzzling experience.
