Playskool added Fraggle Rock to their series of wooden tray puzzles geared toward the younger kids around the time the show first aired on HBO. There are at least 5 different puzzles in this line each with about 10 pieces fro puzzles. They measure about 11 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches. The images are simple yet pleasing to the eye. The series includes: Gobo, Red, Uncle Traveling Matt, the Doozers, and Sprocket.

Hestair Puzzles (1983, UK)

Hestair Puzzles made several different Fraggle Rock puzzles geared towards slightly different age groups. They were only available in the United Kingdom. One nice feature to the Hestair Fraggle Rock puzzles is that each have a title printed on the top of the box.

100 Piece Puzzles (Ages 6 and up)

The artwork appears to be from the same artist and is for the most part, very well executed. Occasionally, with some of the puzzles' illustrations, there's a bit of perspective and scale issues but for the most part they are very detailed and accurate. The completed puzzle size is 10 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches.

"The Band of Five" is a typical group shot with the Fraggles playing instruments, similar to many of the publicity photos.

"Doozers at Work" features a Fraggle that is surrounded by Doozer constructions. It could be Gobo, but he's not wearing his usual striped shirt.

"The Radish Run" looks as if the artist had fun with this one. It also appears that the only picture of Junior Gorg they had for reference was of him wearing armor because, in the "Wembley and the Gorgs" 50 piece puzzle below, he's dressed the same.

"Marjory the Trash Heap" is a wonderful picture of the trash heap that is drawn to scale with her and the Fraggles visiting.

50 Piece Puzzles (Ages 4 and up)

Hestair's 50 piece Fraggle Rock puzzles are geared to a slightly younger age group. They also form a 10 1/2 inch circle when completed. Possibly they were designed this way to keep the younger age group's attention longer or as a difference in style. There are 4 known puzzles in this set:

"Down at Fraggle Rock" is a group shot that looks as if the artist was loosing interest with this one, however, Mokey's face has a nice lighting.

"Sprocket Spies the Fraggles" is the only puzzle in the set that shows Uncle Traveling Matt (who has lost his shorts). This is an odd image. For one thing, it's a little out of character to see Gobo running in terror from from Sprocket while Wembley just stands aloof by Traveling Matt's side. Also, the Fraggles are annoyingly out of scale compared to Sprocket's head. They'd be smaller than Smurfs (less than 3 apples tall) if this illustration's scale was true to life. Wembley's fingers are a little awkward as well.

"Wembley and the Gorgs" is a scene based on the second episode of the first season. Over analytical viewers of this puzzle's illustration will note that the outfit's of some of the characters are inaccurate. By this point in that particular episode, the Gorgs are dressed in judicial robes, Pa Gorg has a bandage on his nose and Gobo should be wearing his red jacket as opposed to his vest. Also, this picture includes the redesigned version of Ma Gorg.

"Gobo & Wembley's Room" is a nice images that's not entirely accurate to what is on the show, but it could be from an angle never captured on tape. Notice the gigantic pencil in the shelf over Gobo's head and the Fraggle bicycle wheel by his bed. Still, one of the nicer puzzles in the Hestair series.

80 Piece Puzzles

This set includes two separate puzzles packaged together. They are the "Doozers At Work " and the " The Band of Five " puzzles from the 100 piece sets only these versions have 80 pieces per puzzle.
