Jan van Haasteren - Murphy's Law - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
If you know Jan van Haasteren, you already know that things are never going to go smoothly — and Murphy's Law takes that to a whole new level.
This brilliant new puzzle was created especially for the European Puzzle Championship 2026, and it's exactly what you'd hope for: an absolutely packed scene where everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. Runaway vehicles, perfectly timed mishaps, characters frantically trying to fix things that only seem to get worse — every corner of this bustling neighbourhood is bursting with glorious chaos.
Of course, the real joy of any Jan van Haasteren puzzle is in the detail. The more you look, the more you find — hidden gags, quirky characters, and somewhere in there, Jan's famous shark fin waiting to be spotted. It's one of those puzzles where you'll still be discovering things long after the last piece is placed.
Whether you're a loyal collector of the JVH range or picking up your first one, Murphy's Law is an absolute treat. Packed with colour, comedy, and that signature Dutch wit, it's hard to think of a more entertaining way to spend an afternoon.
Completed puzzle size: 68 x 49 cm. Made from quality recycled cardboard with a premium linen finish.
About this puzzle
Jan van Haasteren scenes are densely packed with hundreds of small characters, objects and colour variations across the entire image, with very few large plain areas to anchor sorting — making them consistently challenging despite bold colouring.
