How to Play the Jigsaw
New to online jigsaws? This magical challenge is a great place to begin. Follow these simple steps.
Study the Picture
Look carefully at the enchanted library artwork before starting. Notice the staircase, glowing objects, books and darker areas.
Find the Edge Pieces
Begin with pieces that have straight edges. Completing the outside border can help organise the puzzle.
Match Colours and Details
Group similar colours together. The glowing blue areas, golden stairway and old wooden objects provide useful visual clues.
Complete the Magical Scene
Drag pieces into the correct positions until the entire image is complete. Enjoy discovering the details as the picture comes together.
Tips for a More Difficult Challenge
Try completing the puzzle without repeatedly looking at the finished image. Start with the darker bookshelves instead of the bright central staircase, or challenge a friend to complete the same jigsaw.
The Enchanted Library: The Secret of the Midnight Staircase
“Every book holds a story. But in this library, some stories are waiting to escape.”
Hidden beyond the misty mountains stood an extraordinary library. No road led to it, no map recorded its location, and no ordinary key could open its ancient doors.
Travellers spoke of a place where books whispered after midnight, glowing creatures danced among the shelves and forgotten worlds could be glimpsed through magical glass.
At the centre of the library stood an enormous golden staircase. It twisted upwards through the shadows towards a mysterious chamber illuminated by blue light.
For centuries, the library had been protected by an invisible Keeper of Stories. The Keeper’s task was simple: ensure that every tale remained within its rightful book.
But one stormy evening, something strange happened. A mysterious golden book vanished from its shelf. Suddenly the magical staircase began to shimmer, the ancient clocks stopped ticking and strange glowing lights appeared throughout the library.
The worlds of imagination were beginning to escape.
Legend says that the library can only be restored by someone who notices the smallest details. Every shape, every colour and every forgotten corner reveals another part of its mystery.
Now the challenge has passed to you. Rebuild the magical scene, study the mysterious objects and discover what might be hiding among the shelves.
Perhaps, when the final piece finds its place, the Keeper of Stories will return.
Or perhaps the library has another secret waiting to be found…
