Chronicle Books | Murdle in The Hedge Maze 500-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Are you ready to take on the ultimate Murdle challenge? Chronicle Books presents Murdle in The Hedge Maze, a triple-threat puzzle that folds a murder mystery, a logic puzzle, and a maze into one immersive experience. Created by G. T. Karber and maze maestro Sean C. Jackson, this 500-piece adventure invites you to think, deduce, and explore in new ways.

What makes this edition unique is its three-in-one design. You’ll follow a gripping story while you assemble a jigsaw without a full image to guide you, and you’ll navigate a hidden maze within the finished picture. Each element feeds clues to the other, inviting you to test hypotheses and revise theories as you go. The result is more than a puzzle—it's an unfolding puzzle narrative you can revisit and enjoy anew.

In practice, you’ll open the box to discover a Murdle story printed inside, along with clues, suspects, weapons, and locations. The included detective notebook features 25 solving grids to evaluate evidence, and an extra hint and a full solution envelope are provided to support progress when you need them. The combination of story, puzzle, and maze creates a layered experience that rewards careful observation and logical reasoning.

Whether you’re puzzling solo or gathering friends for a game night, this edition fits a range of vibes. It’s a thoughtful gift for Murdle fans and for anyone who loves brain games, mysteries, and mazes. The finished maze serves as a striking piece of art you can revisit for years of play, or simply admire as a visual reminder of your investigative journey.
