Ravensburger - New Jigsaw Puzzles for 2025

by Linda Jane Smith

This is a different puzzle from Linda. It’s not a traditional busy scene but a scene for each of the twelve months. To be honest, it was incredible how Linda managed to come up with new ideas for Ravensburger and Gibsons puzzles for so many years. 
Linda is one of my favourite artists, and I miss our yearly catchup in Birmingham discussing those new ideas!

Lots going on in this puzzle. I especially like the hair model!
I counted at least five cats and four owls too.

by Dominic Davison

Did you know that Dominic Davison is one of the world’s most successful puzzle artists in America? He does this without painting many people as they aren’t his favourite subject!

by Aimee Stewart

The magical mind of Aimee Stewart continues … 
Those books must be the tiniest books ever.  Hard to read the small print!

by Kevin Walsh

Classic Kevin cars! Nothing more to say except enjoy the red MG and Kevin’s dog.

by David Maclean

It had to happen sooner or later – a puzzle about people puzzling!
As always, David fill up every bit of puzzle space. Just look outside that large window – no blue sky in this puzzle! The only thing I would say – are there too many loose pieces on the table and in the trays for the space in the puzzle?

I love this as it hints at the hand drawn nature of these beautiful characters. I’m not sure why it is a 100 extra large piece as I’m sure there is a larger audience for this amongst adults.

by Antonio Segura

Antonio is a new artist to me, but he is one of Spain’s most influential artists. He has a new kind of art style for Ravensburger, and I really like Ravensburger’s new box design. It is very clean and modern. When will they change their ‘classic’ 1000 piece box?!

by Anne Searle

I initially thought this was a Debbie Cook painting but it is a lovely ‘feel good’ puzzle from Anne Searle. Blissful country life!

The ever-popular canal boats but this time I think there is some suspect steering from a captain who is too busy taking photos.
There is going to be a crash!

This reminds me of the Dressmaker’s Daughter puzzle which was extremely popular for years. I’m sure this one will be too!

by Steve Read

A different puzzle from Steve Read. Still the same amount of detail but a really lovely & interesting colour scheme. A challenging puzzle. 

I had to include this one as I have seen so many trailers for the Minecraft movie with Jack Black! 

Garden Centre jigsaw puzzles are always popular. The setting is a perfect background for puzzles, and it looks like a perfect setting for these two gnomes too! 

by Steve Crisp

Another winner from Steve Crisp. All the ingredients of a classic puzzle, although that central tree could have done with a few nesting birds? Or made smaller to let us see the rolling hills?

by Linda Jane Smith

Latest in the brilliant Crazy Cats range by Linda. My favourite cat?
The ginger tabby letting the white cat sit on his head for no reason at all!

Apologies for yet another cat puzzle. This reminded me so much of the kitten sleeping around our ankles whilst having an incredible seafood platter out on a pier in the Crete sea!

by Linda Jane Smith

No more cats! Linda is great at dogs & puppies too! I know a few years ago Linda really wanted to paint something else apart from cats. Here they are!
Favourite dog? It has to be the one top left keeping his sausages out of reach of the other dogs!

A lovely dream, ideallic coastal cottage by the Kent-based watercolour artist Emma Allen.
I love the pastel colours and the dog waiting eagerly at the gate for his master to come home from work!

I was introduced to Alicia Black‘s artwork around six years ago by the wonderful Sarah, and I always thought she would be a great puzzle artist.

Alicia has a distinctive ‘flat’ art style, which can be challenging for puzzlers, but Alicia cleverly paints in textures to help – as well as adding chickens!

I’ve counted thirteen crazy cats – unlucky for the mice!
Lots of colour in this one from Linda Jane Smith.

One area Linda has improved on so much are the background details. No more boring bits of blank background, instead we get colourful ribbons and even a mouse sitting on top of a cotton reel.  Can you spot him?

Something new & different from Linda Jane Smith.
A bee-usy & colourful puzzle (sorry for the pun).
No cats or dogs here but lots of wild flowers!

A romantic view of Amsterdam’s canals and Cafe Johnny!
it looks like the couple have just finished a dinner date for two and are walking back home hand in hand.

I love the clouds & colours in the sky and that huge moon!

No ordinary puzzle but a Maze of Mystery! Based on the Pierre the Maze Detective books.
In this puzzle, there is a Start piece from which you follow the maze until you find the ‘Goal’ piece. Then you can chase Mr X, but your path can be blocked, so you need to find a new route.
There are also hidden objects to find, such as a cat (!), and other objects to count, such as gold stars.
The Pierre the Maze Detective books are well-reviewed, so seeing how they translate into puzzles will be interesting.

There aren’t many Astrology jigsaw puzzles, so I’m sure this by Katja Pérez will be popular with its beautiful design and ‘rainbow’ colours.
Katja is a breast cancer survivor, mother, part-time web designer, and illustrator living in the USA, Germany or both!

Six multi-coloured owls and twelve pairs of staring eyes!
Find a Long-eared Owl, a Barn Owl, a Great Horned Owl, a Barred Owl, a Northern Pygmy and the tiny, adorable Saw-whet Owl.
Ravensburger’s 300 extra large pieces are 30% larger than the standard 1000 piece size.
