Jumbo produces many beautiful and unique puzzles. Among other things, Jumbo is behind the popular Wasgij puzzles, where you assemble a different image than the one on the box, and they have been collaborating for years with Jan Van Haasteren, who draws lively illustrations filled with crazy and funny details.

Jumbo is a Dutch company that makes both puzzles and board games. In 1950, they founded their own cardboard factory to become independent from other manufacturers and to simultaneously ensure high quality. From here, they produce all their puzzles and cardboard-based board games.
Previously, Jumbo was known as Falco Games in England, and this is also the name given to their series of puzzles for adults. Jumbo is behind a wide range of popular products, including the classic Stratego.
In 1980, Jan van Haasteren began drawing puzzles for Jumbo. Forty percent of all puzzles from Jumbo are now Jan van Haasteren puzzles. In 1997, the quirky Wasgij puzzle was introduced. Wasgij is Jigsaw (i.e., puzzle) spelled backwards. Wasgij is drawn by a group of artists, including Graham Thompson, who has been producing puzzles for Jumbo for many years.
