Stay Updated On What's New In The Puzzle World

Maybe you’re gearing up for summer travel and want something small to slip into a backpack or purse for downtime at the airport, hotel, campsite, or Airbnb. Or maybe your summer plans are a little closer to home this year. Puzzle snacks are just as perfect for backyard evenings, coffee shop afternoons, park picnics, or relaxing on the couch after a busy day.

And honestly, I don’t know about you, but I don’t really want to spend a fortune on tiny travel puzzles either. One of the best parts about puzzle snacks is that most individual puzzles are under $10, and even though some are larger multi-puzzle sets they break down to a great value per puzzle...

This brand spotlight is a little more personal for me. I first discovered Aurora Puzzles at Portland Jigsaw Masters in 2024. At the time, it was a quick stop and I browsed the booth, said hello to Dawn, and picked up my first Aurora puzzle:Tiger of the North.

And then… it sat on my shelf for months.

It wasn’t until a friend I had attended the event with asked, “Have you tried your Aurora puzzle yet? It was so good!” So, naturally, it became my next puzzle... CONTINUE READING

As someone who shares a lot of puzzles online, I’m always a little surprised by the comments I get about how I’m doing a puzzle.

“You didn’t start with the edge and that annoys me.”
“That puzzle is ugly. Why would you do it?”
“How come you didn’t glue it? That’s such a waste of time.”

And it always makes me wonder: Can you actually puzzle wrong? ... CONTINUE READING

The average American spends around 7 hours a day on screens, with over 4–5 hours of that just on their phone. (Digital 2024 Report) And it’s not just throughout the day—nearly half of people check their phone within 10 minutes of waking up. (Statista) So it’s no surprise people are starting to crave something different...

Lately it feels like everywhere you look, people are talking about “going analogue.” Less screen time. More presence. Slower hobbies. Vinyl records are back. People are reading physical books again. Film cameras, journaling, all of it. And every time I see it, I can’t help but think… puzzlers have been doing this the whole time... CONTINUE READING

I’ve noticed something about my puzzling habits over the years; I am definitely someone who puzzles based on the season. When autumn rolls around, I start reaching for cozy cabins and autumn leaves. In winter, snowy villages and Christmas scenes suddenly feel right. But when spring arrives, I immediately want bright, colorful puzzles on my table. There’s just something about the start of a new season that makes opening a fresh puzzle even more exciting.

For me, Springtime is all about color.  After months of darkness (I like in the PMW), spring puzzles feel like a breath of fresh air. I find myself gravitating toward florals, gardens, birds, and bright landscapes.... CONTINUE READING

There has been a long-standing misunderstanding between puzzlers and their cats.

Humans believe they are quietly assembling beautiful images one piece at a time. They think they are engaging in a relaxing hobby. They think the table, the pieces, and the carefully sorted sections belong to them. We regret to inform you that this is incorrect.... CONTINUE READING

My first puzzle competition was completely spontaneous. I didn’t even know speed puzzling was a thing — I just showed up, met a puzzler (who became a good friend of mine) sat down, and started puzzling. Somehow, we placed 5th… and to this day, I truly think a lot of that was luck. Since then, I've grown a lot as a speed puzzler.  But my goal has always remained the same, don't be last....

For our “Best of 2025” roundup, we turned to the people who spend the most time at the puzzle table — our amazing Puzzle Warehouse Ambassadors.  Between all of us, we’ve pieced together well over 1,000 puzzles this year, so narrowing things down was no easy task. In fact, some ambassadors could only get their lists down to about ten — because when there are this many great images, brands, and experiences out there, choosing just one feels nearly impossible.

What you’ll find below isn’t just a “best of” list — it’s a celebration of the puzzles that made us slow down, get excited, stay up too late, and fall in love with puzzling all over again in 2025. We hope it inspires your next build and maybe even helps you discover a new favorite of your own... CONTINUE READING
