Wasgij is jigsaw spelt backwards and is pronounced ‘Woz-gidge’ It first came to market in 1997 and has been the UK’s number one adult jigsaw puzzle range since 2005.

Once the puzzler has done this, they need to imagine what that character is looking at in front of them – that is the image they must piece together.

Wasgij Destiny is the ‘Time Travelling’ concept where puzzlers must use their imagination to piece together what they think the scene and characters shown on the box will look like in the modern day.
