Cincinnati Puzzle from Dowdle

We were in Cincinnati at an antique mall. I was perusing the booths when I ran into this Cincinnati puzzle from Dowdle. I had to have it. I was in Cincy, after all. And we both love puzzles of Eric Dowdle’s works. They’re often challenging, and always great to look at. Even as Indiana Hoosiers we were able to identify many of the landmarks in this puzzle. Red’s stadium (Go Reds!). PNC Bank. And of course, there’s even a Skyline Chili sign! This was a fun puzzle for sure!

I wasn’t able to find this puzzle online new, but you can always find it (and many others) used on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, thrift stores or flea markets, and our favorite place to find used puzzles, antique malls!

No Stroll Along The River

I can’t say we’ve ever ‘blown through’ a Dowdle puzzle. The colors and pieces can make them challenging. That’s what we want, right? And we want things we can identify. As visitors to Cincinnati on a regular basis, we found this to be a really fun puzzle and one we definitely didn’t finish in just minutes!

The Last Piece

This 500 piece puzzle did not include a poster. The image on the box is a bit small, and somewhat obscured (at least on front of the box). The assembled puzzle is about 20″ wide and 16″ high. The pieces (some are cut in wild shapes) fit great but we did have a few false fits (you know, pieces that looked like they went somewhere but really didn’t belong there). The color and image quality are fantastic. The puzzle came in a nice box. This is a quality puzzle that is a real joy to assemble.

New York Puzzle from Dowdle

Vibrant and whimsical, Dowdle puzzles are popular in our household. And they can be very challenging, especially the larger piece-count ones. Luckily, perhaps, I ran across this New York Puzzle from Dowdle at an antique mall and it only had 300 pieces. “Whew”, I thought, “A Dowdle I can finish in less than a week!”. It’s not that I’m in a race. But the bigger ones take a long time and that day, I wanted something quick. A puzzle that I could sit back and enjoy the final result in a matter of hours, and not days. And this was it.

A Tale Of Two Cities

Our New York Puzzle from Dowdle was used. And maybe older. I’m not sure. But I do know when I looked for it on Amazon what I found was a totally different puzzle. So apparently, there are two ‘New York’ puzzles from Dowdle? Our version was totally fun. The other looks fun too! But I wanted you to know in case you go searching for the one we made, you might find something different!

The Last Piece

This 300 piece puzzle included a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 15″ wide and 1″ high. The pieces fit tightly. Our puzzle was purchased used. You could tell that the previous owner (or owners!) had some issue with determine where some pieces went as they are dog-eared in spots. The color and image quality were quite good. This was classic Dowdle, and fun to assemble and enjoy in the end!

Camping Adventure Puzzle from Dowdle

One thing we can always count on from a Dowdle puzzle is a challenge for us. The colors throughout are similar, making it a bit more difficult to know where a piece goes. That’s ok. We’re not in a hurry. And we certainly always enjoy the final result. Although all of the Dowdle works are similar in style, the locations are always different. This Camping Adventure puzzle was full of whimsical items and people, and was another true joy to assemble!

Go Small. Or Big.

We usually do 1000-piece Dowdle puzzles. Or any puzzle for that matter. But we picked up this 300-piece Camping Adventure puzzle used. I wasn’t going to pass it up no matter how many pieces it had. I will say, a 300-piece Dowdle is quite a bit easier than a 1000! Easier. But not easy! This was still a great, enjoyable challenge! Now, I must go get more Dowdle puzzles!

The Last Piece

This 300 piece puzzle included a nice poster. The assembled puzzle is about 21″ high and 15″ high. The pieces fit very well and the colors were nice. We had very few ‘false fit’ pieces. Everything went and fit where it should. The images are fun. This was a tough puzzle in places, making it well worth the price!

Oh, and it was full of fun things!

Train Station Puzzle from Dowdle

We are big fans of Dowdle puzzles. The great images, colors and quality are always a joy. And we don’t have to worry about them. We know we are getting the ‘good stuff’ when we buy one. Like this Train Station puzzle. Even the box this puzzle came in is quality. It doesn’t feel cheap. The pieces were heavy, not cheap. And of course, we knew we were in for a bit of a challenge.

Fun Things.

A puzzle should be fun. You shouldn’t fear working on it. It should be an enjoyable experience from the moment you see the box art until the moment you step back and look at the finished puzzle. We certainly enjoyed this Train Station puzzle from Dowdle. All the way through. As we went, we noticed all sorts of fun little things in the puzzle. That really contributed to a great puzzle experience. We recommend that you don’t rush it. “Stop and see the puzzle” would be our motto!

The Last Piece

This puzzle included two greatly colored posters and a resealable bag to put the completed puzzle into. There are 1000 pieces. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is fantastic, and the colors were great. A few spots were a bit challenging for sure! This is another enjoyable puzzle from Eric Dowdle.

Charleston Puzzle from Dowdle

This was our first puzzle from artist Eric Dowdle. We have been attracted to his works from the moment we first saw them. This Charleston puzzle from Dowdle did not disappoint. The colors are amazing. The image is amazing. And oh, was it ever a challenging puzzle to complete! This is one of the most enjoyable final results we’ve done. It took us a while, but it was oh so fun! We are looking forward to more puzzles from Mr. Dowdle!

Fun Cuts

The pieces in this Charleston puzzle from Dowdle are cut fairly ‘weird.’ They’re all sorts of shapes and sizes. They really threw us for a loop at first. But then we realized that those random cuts are a lot more fun than ‘ribbon cuts’, where all of the pieces are similar if not the same. You can see a few of them in the close-up picture, below.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a wonderful, large poster. The puzzle is very frameable. For that matter, the poster is too! The assembled puzzle is about 20″ wide and 27″ high. The pieces are random-cut and fit really well, although we did encounter a few pieces that weren’t completely cut. The puzzle picture is amazingly bright and colorful. This is a tremendously fun puzzle!
