13-piece Puzzle - Orient Express

With its bright and vivid colours and perfect amount of detail, the Orient Express puzzle is the perfect ray of sunshine and serenity for people with dementia.

13-piece puzzle for people with dementia
Relish 13-piece puzzles are designed to delight people with mid-stage dementia. From idyllic to iconic, each scene is carefully chosen to stimulate joyful memories and inspire conversations once completed.

The larger pieces, approximately 10cm wide, are all unique in size and shape and are easy to handle for people with dexterity difficulties. The box is designed to help and encourage people to complete the puzzle independently; it perfectly frames the assembled puzzle and displays the final image printed on the inside lid. Very contrasting colours and a clean, clear image with a central point are additional details successfully tested with people with mid-stage dementia.

Benefits of puzzles for people with dementia
Puzzles are a favourite pastime for young and old alike, and they can be particularly beneficial for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. Besides being a fun and engaging activity to do with family or friends, puzzles gently exercise the brain, improve visual perception and provide a sense of satisfaction and pride when completed.

Relish Puzzle FAQ
What size are the puzzle pieces?
Each puzzle piece in the 13-piece collection is unique in size and shape. On average, the width is approximately 10cm.

Is there an image inside the box?
Yes, the puzzle image is on the box lid and can therefore be used as a guide.

How can I clean the puzzles?
Relish puzzles are now made from cardboard and we do not recommend using chemicals to clean them, but you can use a very lightly damp cloth to wipe them, with water only.

Do you have puzzles with more pieces?
Yes, you can try our 35 or 63 piece puzzles for an additional challenge. We are also expecting a new 100 piece puzzle that will be available in June 2021.

Are the puzzles suitable for the visually impaired?
It all depends on the level of impairment. Our puzzles are designed with high colour contrast and the 13-piece puzzles have a main focal point and larger puzzle pieces, to help people with visual impairment. Each puzzle piece is uniquely shaped and can therefore be assembled by touch, which may make assembly easier for the person concerned.
