WASGIJ Christmas 10 The mystery shopper

The WASGIJ Christmas puzzle this year is as usual hilarious. The image shown on the box depicts the local department store thriving with shopper's trying to pick up the best Christmas bargains in the lead up to the big day! The store is gleaming with Christmas decorations that are hanging from the ceiling, Christmas tree and employee's costumes - but what has caught the eyes of the busy shopper's at the perfume counter? Is it that must-have bargain that will put a smile of their child's face? That is the image of the 'solution' jigsaw puzzle you have to piece together!

What If? puzzles

The What If? Series from Ravensburger are a jigsaw for people who enjoy a comedy puzzle with a challenging twist.  Based on the idea that things don’t always turn out how you think or hope they will, you have to imagine what might happen if the events shown on the box change.
The image on the box is different to the puzzle image but you have to figure out how!
