‘New Year’s Biscuits’ wooden puzzle frame

About the game

An unusual guest has turned up at the New Year’s bakery — a gingerbread girl with a cherry, a lollipop and a heart-shaped wafer. But her festive look has fallen to pieces. Help put the sweet beauty back together!

‘New Year’s Biscuit’ is a wooden jigsaw puzzle featuring a character shaped like a gingerbread biscuit. The child matches the shaped pieces to the corresponding slots in the frame, restoring the image of the festive girl and her sweet decorations.

Every piece found adds a new detail to this cosy New Year’s story.

How to play
