The Wasgij series has some different rules when it comes to puzzles – instead of following tradition and asking puzzlers to piece together the same image that is on the box, Wasgij takes it a step further – by asking puzzlers to use their imagination!
There are three different concepts in the Wasgij series. They are very different from each other, but they have one thing in common – the image on the box is not what you are going to puzzle! The first concept, released in 1997, is Wasgij Original – a brain teaser that asks puzzlers to use their imagination (with the help of a few clues) to put themselves in the position of a certain person depicted on the box. Once the puzzler has done this, they must imagine what the person sees at that moment – and that is what needs to be puzzled.The addictive concept is designed to keep the puzzler guessing until the end of the puzzle, and that is why Wasgij is so popular today.
But the Wasgij concept alone was not enough for Jumbo – they wanted to take one step, and even two steps further – with the creation of Wasgij Destiny, which was followed a few years later by Wasgij Mystery.
Wasgij Destiny is the concept for 'Time Travel' where puzzlers must use their imagination to piece together an image of how they think the people on the box will look now. The third concept of the current series is Wasgij Mystery – in this concept, puzzlers must use their imagination to piece together what they think will happen in the upcoming minutes with the people depicted on the box.
The three different Wasgij concepts are unique in themselves and offer puzzlers something different from traditional puzzles.Each concept is entertaining, challenging, and most importantly: fun – with visual humor in every puzzle. Wasgij Original has been a favorite among puzzlers for years, probably because of the element of surprise, puzzling something unknown, when you don't know what the depicted people on the box are up to. That's why there are more than 50 puzzles in the Wasgij series... and many more are on the way!
