Today 29th January, is National Puzzle Day where we celebrate and promote the fun we have with solving and playing puzzles. This year Gibsons celebrates their 100th anniversary – and to thank fans, Gibsons have hidden 100 lucky tickets inside their puzzle boxes. If a lucky ticket is found, the recipient will be rewarded with a free 1000 piece puzzle of their choice.
no.1 performing manufacturer in adult puzzles
Originally a games company, Gibsons first introduced jigsaw puzzles to in the 1980s and now are proud to be the no.1 performing manufacturer in adult puzzles. Their vast range now holds over 400 products, with jigsaw puzzles available in 6 different piece counts.
To mark National Puzzle Day Gibsons – the independent, family-owned British games and puzzles company – has launched a brand new range of jigsaw puzzles and games, suited for all ages.
White Logo Collection
Gibsons has released a brand-new collection of design-led jigsaw puzzles especially for adults. There are six 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles available in the White Logo range, all of which have been specifically selected for their striking designs and unconventional scenes.
Following the trend of mindfulness and the nation’s desire to spend less time looking at a screen, Gibsons’ White Logo jigsaws are perfect for the new wave of puzzlers who are looking for more innovative and contemporary designs rather than typical, traditional puzzle scenes.
To select the imagery, Gibsons interviewed prospective puzzlers who voted for their favourite designs* that didn’t conform to conventional jigsaw illustrations.
Zonkers
Zonkers is Gibsons’ brand new fast and frantic dice game that launched this week at the Toy Fair 2019.
Frantically roll your dice in a head-to-head frenzy as you try to win cards and beat your foe. Zonkers will be available to order from mid-February.
Little Gibsons – Childrens collection
As a family business, Gibsons is proud to entertain all generations and this year they have launched a brand-new children’s collection.
Three new jigsaws available now and a further four jigsaws and games arriving in the summer, all otailor-made for inquisitive pre-schoolers thanks to their bright, quirky packaging and on-trend themes.
Gibsons has released over 40 new classic jigsaw puzzle designs that are available in an array of piece counts, from 100 to 2000 pieces.
The jigsaw collection includes beautifully illustrated artwork by renowned artists including: Trevor Mitchell and Kevin Walsh, and are packaged in Gibsons’ iconic blue boxes.
Amongst the new releases are two centenary themed puzzles including specially commissioned Steve Crisp and Thomas Kinkade designs.
L’Attaque!
Gibsons are bringing back one of their first ever iconic games, L’Attaque. It will go on sale in April 2019.
A strategic board game for two people, L’Attaque was the first of The Big Four military based games for Gibsons. A ‘capture the flag’ style game of strategy, L’Attaque was the precursor to the popular title, Stratego, and was a firm favourite of Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
