Let's start off with the Train.
Blue Kazoo
Illustrated by Steve Thomas, this classic Train puzzle's central focus is the bright colors that make up the transport. Susu, a customer that purchased the puzzle, said it reminds them of their "travels through Taiwan. We took the high-speed rail from Tapei to Kaohsiung then took regular trains back up to check out Tainan and Taichung."
So good vibes all round!
Then we have the Plane.

And then finally, completing the collection is the Ocean Liner.

So what was the inspiration behind this new series?
Blue Kazoo
Well, did you know the first-ever puzzles were created to teach geography to children? Using a bunch of non-interlocking pieces, they would cut pieces along the border of different countries and when put together, children would be able to learn about the world we know today.
But puzzles didn't gain the attention they deserved until the 30s and 40s when they became a fun and affordable way to keep families entertained.
