This was a curious one, the brand is Journey of Something but it was manufactured by Hinkler. Journey of Something is a small boutique brand that sells their puzzles for $49.99. They come in a nice cloth bag & the box has a magnetic closure. Hinkler is a budget craft brand, they make MindBogglers puzzles & I've got a couple of their colour your own 500 piece puzzles. I did some googling & all i could find was a LinkedIn page congratulating the Journey of Something owners for joining with Hinkler. This puzzle didn't have the cloth bag & has a fairly nice slide in box but without the magnet. They seem to sell at QBD books, a bookstore chain that has a limited range of puzzles including MindBogglers & now these. I had a look in store the other day & found one other Journey of Something design for $15 but it didn't appeal. Journey of Something still have their website active & offer a subscription so it looks like they'll be offering 2 product lines.

I just found all of this interesting, I got this puzzle from Vinnies for $5 so im not upset about 2 missing pieces. I was thinking of framing it as I really like the design but can't do that now but oh well. I can't really tell any difference between the pieces but I've only done 1 of the premium Journey of Something puzzles & it was in terrible condition.
