Many people are finding joy in comforting pastimes, like working on jigsaw puzzles, while spending time at home.
In fact, sales of the classic games have seen a surge in popularity recently. According to Marketplace podcast, puzzle sales were up 370% at the beginning of April.
Some companies that make puzzles have gotten creative with their offerings, and the latest puzzle to baffle and entertain potential buyers and internet-goers is one from Amazon, manufactured by a company known as Beverly. It has 1,000 pieces that are all white.AdvertisementThe white-colored puzzle is sold out from Amazon at the time of writing, but there's an accompanying one from the same brand that's solid black, which retails for $31 at the time of writing.
Another user pointed out that the puzzle's described "micro" pieces make it even more challenging.
As if these puzzles aren't time-consuming enough, there are other ones on the market that have left people intrigued — including one from Kodak, which claims to be the "world's largest puzzle" containing 51,300 pieces and retails for about $600 on the photo company's website.
Condiment brand Heinz also hopped on the puzzle trend. Earlier in May, the Canadian division of the ketchup-maker launched a red puzzle with 570 pieces. The mind-boggling puzzles aren't for sale, but were part of a giveaway contest hosted by the brand, according to AdWeek.Advertisement—Heinz Ketchup (@HeinzKetchup_US) May 5, 2020
There's also a translucent, 215-piece puzzle on the market that is meant to look like shattered glass. It's $64 and can be purchased on the website of brand Yell Design.
