Gladibear

Difficulty: 10/10 (only finishable after a blood oath)

The crowd is screaming. Fire rains from the sky. In the center of the chaos stands GladiBear—part legend, part mammal, all rage. His armor is spiked. His roar causes structural damage. His backstory is unclear, but it probably involves vengeance and a shattered honey jar.

Every piece of this puzzle is drenched in drama and ash. Assemble with care, or risk incurring the wrath of a bear who’s very obviously not here to talk things out.

Great for: metalheads, history nerds, and people with strong opinions about justice

Bonus: Comes with the unshakable feeling that you were born too late for the arena

Warning: May awaken ancient warrior instincts and a need to shout "ARENA RULES" at your friends during board games
