Mensans are usually not satisfied by the ordinary, so we have taken the conventional jigsaw and upped the difficulty factor by making it double-sided.

Yes, you have heard it right. A double-sided jigsaw puzzle to challenge your mind!

To top it off, we have two designs available for you to choose from.

The 336 piece, 12″ x 18″ puzzles have images of the Singapore skyline photographed by our own President, Patrick.

The first design has a 10 year old night skyline on one side and the present night skyline on the other, both from slightly different vantage points. The second, and easier one has a day and night view of the same skyline.

So are you up to the challenge? (click on the picture below to enlarge)

For now, these jigsaw puzzles are custom made for Mensa Singapore members and will not be on sale for the general public. (Of course, you can order extra sets and give a unique gift to family and friends).

Pre-order now (by 14th February 2012) to get a $9 discount from the regular price of $49 per puzzle (inclusive of local shipping).
