Here's the exciting twist! The puzzle image on the box is quite different from the one inside. It adds a fun surprise. The artist, Kevin Cannon, is a well - known cartoonist and illustrator famous for his detailed maps in the Star Tribune. A version of this 'Color Me Minnesota' puzzle first appeared as a coloring page in the Star Tribune. Kevin was born and raised in St. Louis Park. His art journey started early, drawing with Mr. Sketch markers. He studied studio art at Grinnell College in Iowa, and after short stays in London and Manhattan, he settled in Minneapolis. With 50 twists, this puzzle will let you explore new places in the North Star State.

To use this 1,000 piece puzzle, start by sorting the pieces by color and edge shape. Lay them out on a flat surface and look for the corner pieces first to begin forming the frame. Then, work on filling in the sections, using the unique twists and the image on the box as a guide. When you're done, you can display it on a wall using a puzzle hanger. Be careful not to lose any pieces. If you need to store the puzzle, put it in a sealed bag or box to keep the pieces together. Clean the puzzle gently with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. Have fun discovering all the new places in Minnesota as you complete it!
