Mystery Puzzle Set

Design Objective:

Design a set of puzzles and packaging for a mystery puzzle box set.

Design Brief:

The mystery puzzle set comes with 12 different puzzles with different quotes and illustrations. Inspiration for marking a puzzle set best friends edition is the feeling of meeting an old best friend after years of being apart. The quotes that were picked relate to motivation, happiness, freedom, and friendship, with specific words bolded in each to help emphasize the meaning and purpose of the quote. Each illustration represents the quote paired with it and is made in a simple and sketchy art style. This gives the puzzle a hand-drawn feel while also adding texture against the solid color backgrounds. The illustrations and backgrounds are in rainbow order to make each puzzle stand out from the others while still giving an overall open and playful feeling. The puzzle box uses some of the illustrations from the puzzles all around the box with the bottom having more information about the puzzle set. The information also appears on the back of a small card that is included with every box. These are challenge cards the user can do while making the puzzle with the incentive to give it to someone else when completed to provide word-of-mouth marketing for the puzzle set.
