Chronicle Books: Murdle in The Mystery Mansion 500-Piece Puzzle

A triple‑threat puzzle experience

From Chronicle Books comes Murdle in The Mystery Mansion, a 500‑piece collectible puzzle that blends narrative storytelling, logical deduction, and a surprising maze into one immersive activity. Picture a winding hall, the faint scent of ink on the page, and a scene that unfolds as you work—in pieces and in clues. This standalone edition expands the popular Murdle universe, inviting both seasoned puzzlers and curious beginners to join the investigation without needing a clue from prior sets. The mystery isn’t just solved; it’s confronted, layer by layer, until a final image emerges as a piece of art you can return to again and again.

Wrapped in a compact 7 x 9 x 2.5‑inch box with a hinged lid, the kit delivers more than a traditional jigsaw. You’ll encounter a printed Murdle story that sets the scene—suspects, locations, and a weapon—then dive into a multi‑step challenge that tests your powers of deduction, memory, and spatial reasoning. The finished puzzle reveals a lush maze within the artwork, inviting you to explore and admire the intricate design after every solve. It’s a case you can revisit for repeat enjoyment, with new insights each time you play.
