The mystery surrounding the puzzles 'The Inauguration' and 'Ribbon Rain'

There's a lot of confusion surrounding the puzzles "The Inauguration" and "Ring of Honors" – several variations have appeared, and it's very difficult to determine the differences. I've compiled the following overview (If you really want to know everything about this, read this page):

Image	Official Name Box	Number	Explanation
	The inauguration	17312	The title on the box is "De Inhuldiging" (The Inauguration) and has number 17312. Released in 2013. This is an orange box with the Dutch flag on the front and the text "Limited Edition." The puzzle shows the city of Amsterdam and many people celebrating. This is during the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander. King Willem-Alexander was thus appointed king in 2013, which led to the puzzle "De Inhuldiging" in 2013. NOTE: This puzzle was also released in 2013 in a blue box with 2000 pieces and number 17313.
	The inauguration	17312	The title on the box is "The Inauguration" and has number 17312. Released in 2013. This is a blue box. This is the first standard (or "basic") puzzle of "The Inauguration."
	2013 Honors Day	17312	The title on the box is "Lintjesregen 2013" and has number 17312. Issued in 2013. Orange box with the medal on the front "Limited Edition 26-04-2013". Jan van Haasteren received a medal. Starting May 7, 2013, the puzzle "De Inhuldiging" (The Inauguration) will be available in a special box because of the medal awarded to Jan van Haasteren. Jan received this medal from Queen Beatrix on April 26, 2013. This special edition of the puzzle was developed by Jumbo to thank Jan van Haasteren for the many puzzles he created. Jan van Haasteren and his wife Romi (who passed away in 2015) were unaware of this. On April 26, Jan van Haasteren was picked up from his home and taken to the new museum in Bergen, where the medal was presented. Jan van Haasteren is appointed Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau and the medal is presented by the mayor of Bergen. This is an extremely rare puzzle, you rarely come across it! Tip: the rare puzzle with number 17312 has the barcode 26-01-2013.
	2013 Honors Day	81242	The title on the box is "Lintjesregen 2013" and has number 81242. Issued in 2013. Orange box with the medal on the front, "Special Edition." This is a puzzle with the old numbering system, and the number starts with an "8." These puzzles are either published by a third party (for example, Trekpleister or Gamma), but can also be given to a puzzle with a special "purpose" or "role." The latter is the case here. 81242 was given away by Jumbo to contacts who were involved in the ribbon ceremony for Jan van Haasteren. Some people received such a box at the reception after receiving the ribbon from Jan.
	The inauguration	1119801838	The Title on the box is 'The Inauguration' and has Number 1119801838. These box titles are italicizedReleased in 2024 - in the 'new box'.

How long will it take you to complete this 1000 piece puzzle?

I completed the puzzle 'The Inauguration' in peace and quiet and it took me several days to complete it. Beautifully made on a puzzle mat on the floor in the living room. I do record the time, but not very precisely, puzzling remains a hobby! But to give an idea of ​​how long it took me to complete this JvH puzzle of 1000 pieces:

• Explaining the pieces: 20 minutes
• Laying the edges = 25 minutes
• Laying the rest of the pieces = 5 hours and 55 minutes
• Which made me do this puzzle in total = 6 hours and 45 minutes. It used to take me almost always 8 hours, but I have a special tip to be able to puzzle a lot faster

About Jumbo puzzles

Jumbo (not to be confused with our supermarket Jumbo!) makes toys, games and puzzles. Jumbo, for example, has made the very well-known games such as “Human don't get annoyed” and “Stratego” and “PimPamPet”. Games that have been around for generations and are still widely played by both young and old. Jumbo has been making and developing toys since about 1900. In the early years of the company, only toys from other countries were imported to the Netherlands. However, since about 1930 it was decided to also make their own toys, at the time manufacturing wooden toys, which was very popular at the time. Almost all toys in those years were made of wood. An important spearhead was that the toys made by Jumbo had to be of very good quality; it had to be as strong as an Elephant. An elephant had to stand on it! The red elephant has been the hallmark of Jumbo's games and puzzles for years. The name Jumbo and the red elephant together form the logo from about 1935. The Jumbo elephant is drawn by Mr. Möhr. He worked at an advertising agency and regularly signed for Hausemann & Hötte. Mr Möhr was at one point commissioned to design a beautiful new elephant logo for the Hausemann & Hötte toys. The logo has changed a bit since then. For example, the eye has grown over the years and has dropped slightly more, resulting in a friendlier elephant.

In the past, the elephant was not only used in the color red, but in all kinds of colors such as blue, yellow, black, white and green. All those colors were cozy and playful. For example, one time there was a yellow elephant on the box and the other time a red one. It was usually looked at which color best matched the color of the box. It was not until the end of the 60s that the red elephant was definitively chosen. Red is a color that stands out and attracts attention.

From 1945 Jumbo also started to focus on games made of cardboard. Jumbo has therefore been a guarantee for strong quality for years! Jumbo is a unique Dutch company with a rich history, with its head office in Zaandam. About 130 employees work for Jumbo. With a turnover of €75 million, Jumbo is a medium-sized European player in toys. Jumbo has sales offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. They export to more than 25 countries around the world.

In 1980 Jumbo starts the production of Jan van Haasteren Puzzles.
