Bestime (also spelled BeStime or Bes-time) was a British manufacturer of jigsaw puzzles and games. In the 1950s and 1960s, the company was best known for its jigsaws created by Enid Blyton. [1] The company made the first four puzzles in 1948, including an Amelia Jane jigsaw (the first jigsaw) and released over 20.

[4] Bestime also made the Blyton Giant Tiddley Winks Game. [5] In 1954, Bestime released the first four jigsaws of The Secret Seven. [6] The company was dissolved in 1973. [7]
