Little Genie Men in Bed Chase 1000-Piece Adult Puzzle

This adult puzzle from Little Genie's Men in Bed series swaps the usual lighthouse or kitten for Chase, a sexy model posed in bed. It has 1,000 pieces and finishes at 20 × 30 inches, big enough to be a proper weekend project and cheeky enough that you'll want to finish it before the in-laws visit.

An adult puzzle with a payoff

Part of the fun is the slow reveal. With a photographic image like this, you start with the edges and the bedding, and Chase comes together one section at a time. It suits a quiet night in alone, a lazy afternoon with a partner, or a group of friends with a bottle of wine and a sense of humour. As a gag gift it lands far better than a novelty mug, because it actually gets used.

Tips for a 1,000-piece puzzle

Clear a flat surface a little larger than 20 × 30 inches, or work on a large board you can slide under a bed between sessions. Sort the edge pieces first and build the frame. Then group the rest by colour and texture: skin tones, sheets, background. Good lighting helps a lot with photographic images where neighbouring pieces look alike. If you want to keep the finished picture, puzzle glue or a frame will turn it into wall art, although where you hang it is your call.

Who it's for

It's an adult novelty, so it's for grown-ups who enjoy a laugh and appreciate the male form. It makes an easy bachelorette, birthday or white-elephant gift, and it's a softer choice than an explicit game for a mixed crowd. If you want something more interactive, our adult games include card, dice and party games.
