Gibsons bolsters TfL range with new games and puzzles

Following record sales of the London Underground-inspired Mind the Gap card game, Gibsons is expanding its partnership with Transport for London with a raft of new products.

The firm’s TfL range is welcoming four new jigsaws this Spring, as well as two new games that are set to launch later this year.

The games will give fans the opportunity to competitively build Zone 1 of the tube map or race across London visiting famous stations while completing tasks along the way, while the puzzles will feature the iconic Underground maps and roundels, as well as a selection of the most popular graphics from TfL’s expansive poster archive.

“We are so pleased to be working with TfL once again,” said Emily Charles, Product Development Manager at Gibsons.

“Mind the Gap continues to be hugely successful and we have high hopes for these new products joining the card game at the top of our best sellers list. The London Underground is recognised all over the world, so it’s great to work with such a famous brand and increase our TfL collection.”

Julie Dixon, Head of Customer Information Design & Partnerships at Transport for London, added: “London’s transport network is recognised the world over and has been a symbol of the city for more than 150 years. We are excited to be continuing our relationship with Gibsons and develop new products with them to delight people young and old, while also generating vital funds for wider transport improvements across London.”
