Sardines and Friends | 500 Piece
We’re thrilled to debut Sardines and Friends at the 2025 Portland Jigsaw Masters! Created by Portland-based artist Yoko Baum, this vibrant puzzle was specially customized for the tournament and is based on an illustration she originally created for the StarChefs Rising Stars Portland issue. Look closely and you’ll even spot a warm “Welcome to Portland” tucked onto one of the quirky tins!
Yoko specializes in food & drink, lifestyle illustration for editorial, advertising/branding, and publishing industries and her playful, personality-packed style shines through in every detail. With repeating blues, yellows and oranges, we expect this puzzle may be trickier than it looks! We'll be curious to see if any speed puzzlers dare to tackle the frame first? With our oversized 500 piece format, some tins and shadows may cross into the frame offering helpful hints, but we shall see!

FASTEST TIME(S):
Speed puzzling is a growing sport where puzzlers race against each other to complete a puzzle in record time. It's fast-paced, energizing, and adds a fun, competitive twist to your favourite relaxing hobby! If a Cobble Hill puzzle is played in a notable competition, we'll add the results here so you can test yourself against the winning time.
We may display a couple of finish times for a single event so one can get an idea about the range of times. Some competitions have more "elite" speed puzzlers, whereas other competitions may include more casual speed puzzlers.
Note: Any puzzle listed as a "speed puzzle" can be enjoyed leisurely. We only provide speed puzzle results as additional information.

- A poster is only included if the box cover says "Poster Included" below our logo.
- In 2023, our 1000 piece to 275 piece boxes downsized from 10" x 14" x 2.38" to 8.25" x 11.25" x 2.0" and a depth of 3.75" for the 2000 piece. However, until all retailers and our warehouse have completely sold out, there will be a mix of box sizes. Please check for this detail if that matters to you.
