Important Holiday Message:
The BIG day is getting closer, and our crafting schedule is filling up quickly! Every puzzle we craft is handcrafted - piece by piece. Because of this, it's impossible to know exactly how many puzzles we can cut in time for holiday delivery. Our experience allows us to make a really good, educated guess, but it's all up to our amazing team of puzzle cutters (and just how much coffee and M&M's they can consume to keep them going!). We are committed to family fun and want your holiday season to be spectacular and magical. We'll do our best to get each and every order cut and delivered by Christmas. If we find we just can't make it happen, we'll contact you as soon as possible and send you a promise certificate to put under the tree and give you a discount of 40% off* for accepting delivery in January.
If you need something for immediate delivery, please visit the InStock, Time Share, Rental, or Boutique areas of our website.
*40% off applies to puzzles with a full price over $400. Excludes Limited Editions, Cutting Edge, Double-Sided, Rental programs, puzzle sets, gift certificates, wooden puzzle boxes, or other puzzle accessories.

Limited Edition 50
Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera H.M.S. Pinafore, with its ingenious plot, clever patter songs, and rousing choruses has been cleverly recrafted in jigsaw form as a Stave Limited Edition. The mischievous Tricks and Teasers, and devious and delightful word games are enhanced by Stave artist Molly Delaney's sprightly artwork in a collaboration that will have you singing.
The charm and challenge of H.M.S. Pinafore lie in the variety of Tricks and Teasers it offers. It's also jam-packed with nifty puzzlements, 3-D elements, word games and lots of just plain puzzling.

The tricks and games were just the right level of difficulty. In general, I find that the trickier the puzzle, the less likely I am to want to do it again. This is not the case with Pinafore; I'm sure we will be redoing the puzzle many times in years to come.
