The Lighthouse Between Worlds
“Where the light shines between two worlds.”
Somewhere between land and sea, reality and imagination, stands a lighthouse unlike any other.
Created by artist Georgiy Kurinov, The Lighthouse Between Worlds invites you into a surreal realm where the familiar and the impossible exist side by side. At its centre rises a glowing wooden lighthouse, entwined with ancient roots and crowned by a mysterious forest canopy.
But look closer, and the world begins to shift.
A translucent jellyfish drifts through the blue, an enormous shell rests beside a tiny house, and a starfish clings to the lighthouse as if the sea has quietly claimed this strange place. Above, swirling currents of turquoise, green and deep blue blend into something that could be water, sky—or perhaps both.
Is the lighthouse standing at the edge of the sea? Beneath it? Or somewhere entirely different?
Perhaps its light is not meant to guide ships at all, but to illuminate the passage between worlds.
Back Side – Beneath the Lighthouse
Turn the puzzle over and another world reveals itself.
The lighthouse appears once again, but now it stands at the heart of an intricately engraved underwater realm filled with fantastical creatures and hidden stories.
Mermaids drift through swirling currents. Divers explore the depths alongside seahorses, jellyfish, rays and strange deep-sea creatures. An octopus stretches its tentacles through the waves, while shells, starfish, fish and other marine life hide throughout the design.
Look carefully and you'll discover familiar elements from the front transformed into this second world—the lighthouse, tiny house, starfish, jellyfish and other details connecting the two sides.
With 300 uniquely shaped pieces and two completely different sides to discover, The Lighthouse Between Worlds is more than a puzzle. It is a journey into a place where forest and ocean, reality and fantasy, and two mysterious worlds meet beneath the same guiding light.

A joy to make from start to finish. Rich colours and detail in the artwork that emerges as you build. Such clever and complex design. And the bear’s face. Perfect for winter
This was such a fun and creative puzzle, with all the figure cutouts and interesting pieces in general. Once it was completed, I enjoyed recalling the different scenes from Alice in Wonderland. I look forward to working the back side, which offers a different puzzle based on all the figure cutouts.
