What are Wasgij Imagine Puzzles?
The Wasgij Imagine series is the 'imagination come true' concept - the aim is to puzzle out what would happen if someone's daydream or fantasy on the puzzle box could become reality. This concept is somewhat similar to the Wasgij What If series, but focuses specifically on working out one's imagination. As an example, here is an image of the box of the puzzle 'Imagine – Pyjamaparty (Slumber Party)', number 3 – 19142:
