Little Puzzles for Little People! – Little Gibsons Children’s Puzzles & Games

Little Gibsons consists of six jigsaws and two games, all of which have been tailor-made for inquisitive pre-schoolers, thanks to their bright, quirky packaging and on-trend themes.

The jigsaw puzzles are made from the same high-quality materials as our award-winning adult jigsaw range, guaranteeing durability and resilience. Each jigsaw has been designed by a British artist and is presented in an innovative box that links to the artwork theme. For example, the Sweet Dreams puzzle is presented in a striking crystal-ball shaped box to portray the mystical dream-world jigsaw that’s filled with unicorns and llamas! The latest arrivals include You are Awesome, a 48 piece jigsaw puzzle that encourages little ones to be bold and brave, and Animal Party, a 24 piece design full of animal mischief.

We added two memory games to the Little Gibsons range this summer, both of which accompany an existing puzzle in the range, Sweet Dreams and Superhero City. Each game includes 36 tiles and players must match the pairs, which include characters from the corresponding puzzles.

Design-led Puzzles for Adults – The White Logo Collection

Earlier this year we released a brand-new collection of design-led jigsaw puzzles. There are now six 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles available in the White Logo range, all of which have been specifically selected for their striking designs and unconventional scenes.

With the recent wave of young adults wanting to take a ‘digital-detox’ and refrain from using their digital devices that can sometimes take over everyday life, puzzling is becoming a popular pastime as it is an excellent way to relive stress and focus on the present moment. Following these trends, our White Logo jigsaws are perfect for the new wave of puzzlers who are looking for more contemporary designs rather than traditional puzzle scenes.

The puzzles are presented in smaller boxes and shrink wrap has been lost to avoid excess plastic waste, making them more environmentally friendly. What’s more, they have been designed and manufactured in the UK from the thickest board available on the jigsaw puzzle market.

Carnival is a topsy-turvy tangle of tumultuous merriment which was specially commissioned to celebrate Gibsons’ 100th anniversary! Created by Hackney-based artist Rob Pybus, this 1000 piece puzzle is crammed full of centenary chaos and celebratory vibes. Avocado Park is Gibsons’ pear-fect 1000 piece puzzle filled to the brim with everyone’s favourite little fruit. London Lights is the latest design added to the collection where it’s Christmastime in London town and Regent Street is filled with light, thanks to the annual twinkling Christmas decorations.

Paper tabs hold the box together to reduce plastic wrap.
The completed puzzle measures 68cm x 49cm.

Centenary Celebrations! - L’Attaque Board Game

This extra-special copy of L'Attaque has been released to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Gibsons. The box artwork has been carefully recreated to mimic the 1940s version of the game. Inside the box are the original rules (as well as the modern version!) as a memento of this captivating and historic game from Gibsons' archives.

L'Attaque was the first of the 'big four' military-themed, strategy-based games we made. A game for two people, L'Attaque is played on a 9x10 square board with 36 soldiers in each army, which represent the French and the English. Players must strategically move their pieces to attack on alternate moves, with the aim of capturing their opponent's Flag.

Originally marketed as the 'game to rival chess', copies of L'Attaque are featured in various historical museums, including the V&A in London, and was said to be a favourite of Winston Churchill.

Fire Up Your Brain Cells! – Pass the Bomb & Pass the Pud Games

Shake up your Christmas routine with our silly, after-dinner party games! Pass the Pud and Pass the Bomb are the hilarious action-packed word games that are the perfect entertainment for the whole family.

Pass the Pud is an exciting team game for four or more players. Everyone’s nerves will be tested to the limits as they answer questions in a race against time to beat the burp. Players take it in turns to draw a card from four mouth-watering categories. They must come up with an answer before quickly passing the pud on to the next player, who must also come up with a suitable answer – and so it goes on until the dreaded ‘burp!’ Once all of the cards have been used, the team with the most sixpences are the winners.

Pass the Bomb is back with a brand-new look and the game encourages players to fire up their brain cells as they take part in this explosive word game. Trigger the timer, flip the card and then frantically think of a word containing all the letters before passing the bomb on to the next player. But watch out! The timer is random and could detonate at any moment. Even the most eloquent players will find themselves tongue-tied!

Muster Up Your Magic – Crystal Hall Board Game

Crystal Hall is our latest family board game. The game was developed by a group of four friends, John, Ben, Luke and Maren, who first launched the game on Kickstarter in 2016 and received over £5000 thanks to 120 backers. John then went on to pitch the game to Gibsons at Toy Fair 2017, who instantly fell in love with it and made the decision to add it to their growing games offering.

Crystal Hall encourages players to lead their wizard-shaped counters around the hall in a quest to uncover the four magical crystals that are hidden among the 36 face-down tiles. The first player to visit each of these tiles and extract the crystals is the winner. However, there’s a twist, as there are more than just crystals under the tiles…cauldrons, potions, curses, even enchanted swamps await each player. The other twist is that as witches and wizards, each player has lots of disruptive spells up their sleeves that can be used to ensure they are first to get their hands on the mystical crystals of power…do you have what it takes to be the most powerful wizard in the Crystal Hall?

2 - 4 players.
Age 10+.
Box dimensions: 26x26x8cm.
Each game lasts around 90 minutes.

Stupendous Stocking Fillers- Gifts Under £15

Mind the Gap, Zonkers, Pixit

We have three quick-play card games that are the perfect entertainment for long car journeys or rainy afternoons. The first is Mind the Gap, the TfL licensed game that is presented in a sturdy little tin and takes players on a trip around the London Underground as they try to be the first to get rid of their hand.

Zonkers is the fast and frantic dice game. Frantically roll your dice in a head-to-head frenzy as you try to win cards and beat your foe. The aim of the game is to match your dice with the dice graphics on the cards. When the cards are filled with dice, or when a player places their last dice, the round ends and the player with the most dice on a card wins.

Pixit is the quick-play game where players must create order out of chaos by piling up their Pixit cubes, selecting a card, and then twisting, turning and tipping their cubes into place to recreate a pixelated image. This highly addictive, simple to learn game can be played alone, in pairs or in groups…there are hours of fun inside one little cube! Whether Pixit is played in teams, in pairs or as a solo activity, each mode is exceedingly addictive and gets tremendously tense as the Pixit cubes twist and turn. With each game taking between 15 and 30 minutes to play, it’s the perfect entertainment for a long journey or a cosy afternoon.

Mind the Gap: (2 – 8 players, for ages 6+).
Zonkers:(1-4 players, aged 6+).
Time: 15-30 minutes.
Pixit: (Ages 6+, Game play is 15-30 minutes).
Each cube is identical to the rest.
