There is a big popular series of puzzles that may require a bit more guidance to add to IPDb, to ensure that they are uniformly entered to allow for entire collections to be found.

In addition, some may be Mystery puzzles; puzzles where the finished puzzle result differs from what is shown on the box.


So please take a look below at how to deal with those kinds of puzzles, to ensure that all can be shared, BUT at the same time, the mystery can stay alive for others!

MYSTERY PUZZLES

  • WASGIJ


BOX SET PUZZLES (Multiple puzzles in 1 box)

WASGIJ puzzles

Wasgij puzzles are extremely popular all over the world; the main attraction is that the image on the box is different from the actual finished puzzle image. It makes the puzzle more challenging, as well as having a nice "surprise" factor when done.

Here are a few guidelines that differ slightly from regular puzzles for IPDb data entry:


Puzzle Name

Use the following format to enter a Wasgij puzzle name:
[Mini] Wasgij (Series) #(number) Title/name!

E.g. Wasgij Destiny #13  Commuting Chaos!
or Mini Wasgij Originial #1Weed Killer!


Name of Collection

Use format [Mini] Wagij (Series)  

E.g. Wasgij Destiny        

or Mini Wasgij Original

Special Features

Select "Mystery"

Completed Puzzle Picture

It is perfectly ok to upload your completed puzzle picture. In fact, it is encouraged that you do, so that puzzlers who get stuck, or WANT to know what the finished result looks like, can see it!


HOWEVER, if you do decide to upload the, completed puzzle picture, we do ask you to make sure that you select the MYSTERY CATEGORY icon when you are uploading the image.

By selecting the completed puzzle image and then the Mystery icon, it will then automatically "blur" the mystery image by default.


Those who then want to see the finished puzzle can click on the image to see it. Those who don't can scroll by and will only see the blurred image if they don't tap it.

Box Set Puzzles (multiple puzzles in 1 box)

You may sometimes come across a puzzle box that contains 2 or more puzzles in the 1 box.  We call them "Multi-puzzles". There is no need to enter them all in separate records - they can be entered as a multi-puzzle in 1 record.

A detailed description of how to go about it can be found in the following article: How to enter a Multi-puzzle.
