Jan van Haasteren Puzzle 'Total football'
I made the puzzle 'Total Football' (Soccer) - this is number 1693, issued in 1987. This puzzle was drawn by Jan van Haasteren Studio Jan van Haasteren. It's this puzzle:

Does a 1000 Piece puzzle consist of 1000 Pieces?
No, not always! This puzzle has appeared in a variant, where the puzzle box states that there are 1000 pieces in it. But in reality the puzzle itself does not consist of 1000 Pieces. Do you want to know exactly which Jan van Haasteren puzzles these are? Then view the overview 'Jan van Haasteren puzzles with a different number of puzzle pieces in the box'.
Puzzle pieces have different shapes
The nice thing about this very old puzzle from 1987 is that the puzzle pieces have different shapes. Does this really matter? No, but I definitely noticed it when I wanted to pick out the straight edge pieces. I couldn't quite figure it out. An extra puzzle within a puzzle! I wanted to make a video of that:
Jan van Haasteren and the nickname 'Jean Pion'
Jan van Haasteren's nickname appears in this puzzle, namely 'Jean Pion' – but written here as 'Cham Pion'. You can see that here on a billboard in the football stadium:
Do you want to know everything about this nickname or pseudonym? Then read the page 'Jan van Haasteren and his nicknames and pseudonyms'.
Jan van Haasteren and Archer Art
Jan van Haasteren also did commercial assignments for various agencies for a while and one of those agencies was 'Archer Art'. From owner Eddie Archer. You sometimes see 'Archer Art' on some puzzles, which is a reference to the agency for which Jan van Haasteren did assignments. You can see that here:

Review video about this puzzle
How long will it take you to complete this 1000 piece puzzle?
I completed the 'Total Football' puzzle 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 = 4 hours and 20 minutes
- Which made me do this puzzle in total = 5 hours and 5 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.
