Wasgij Mystery 20: Mountain Mayhem Review – A Hilarious Puzzle for Easter Weekend Fun

Welcome to the second installment of our Wasgij jigsaw puzzle review series! Over the Easter weekend, we tackled the brilliantly bonkers Wasgij Mystery 20: Mountain Mayhem (1000 Pieces), and what an adventure it was. If you're a fan of laugh-out-loud illustrations, clever clues, and a uniquely puzzling twist, this one’s for you.

What is Wasgij Mystery 20: Mountain Mayhem?

Released by Jumbo, Wasgij Mystery 20: Mountain Mayhem! follows the classic Wasgij “Mystery” format — that means you’re not recreating the image on the box, but instead puzzling together what will happen next in the scene. This style adds a layer of surprise, storytelling, and challenge that traditional puzzles just don’t offer.

In Mountain Mayhem, a peaceful ski resort is about to be thrown into chaos. The box art shows a typical alpine holiday moment — but things are clearly about to go downhill fast. Your challenge is to figure out what shocking (and hilarious) event is about to unfold.

Our Experience Over Easter Weekend

We completed this puzzle over the long Easter weekend, and it made for the perfect bank holiday activity. The artwork by James Alexander is packed with character, detail, and enough visual jokes to keep you smiling as you sort through the pieces.

The puzzle itself took us about 8–10 hours to complete, split across three relaxing sessions. The build was smooth and satisfying, though not without its head-scratching moments — typical of Wasgij’s clever twist-based solving style. Spotting visual cues that hint at the impending disaster was half the fun.

The finished result!
