I Brake For UFOs Puzzle from Buffalo Games

I gotta tell you straight up that I thought we were in for a long build when we started this I Brake For UFOS puzzle from Buffalo Games. Featuring art from one of our favorite artists, Aimee Stewart, I could tell that the colors were going to be an issue. Or so I thought. But then, I wasn’t the one doing the sorting. My wife was. I showed up in time to start putting the pieces together so I had it ‘easy’.

I Was Kinda Wrong

In reality, this I Brake For UFOs Puzzle from Buffalo Games came together a lot easier than I ever thought it would. My wife thought the sorting was challenging, but not impossible. My fears of us spending day after day on this puzzle were actually unfounded. We knocked this out a whole lot quicker than I ever thought we would. It was fun. A lot of fun. And another great piece of art from Aimee Stewart.

It helped to use our bright LED puzzle lamp. It made it possible to tell the colors apart. Otherwise, every purple would’ve looked the same. Every blue. Every yellow. Well, you get it. It would’ve been a lot harder for sure without it!

I could not find this puzzle on Amazon. But you can find it in antique malls (like we did), thrift shops and online auction sites!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. The puzzle included a small poster. The pieces fit fairly tightly. Sorting the pieces (if that’s your thing) is challenging, but it was actually not that hard to assemble. We got this puzzle in a trade. It had a note on the box that one of the pieces had been chewed by a dog. Well, yep, they weren’t lying! But it still fit!

Ocean Park Puzzle from MasterPieces

My wife can blame me for this Ocean Park Puzzle from MasterPieces. It was my idea to get it. We were at the house of someone that we met on FB that wanted to trade puzzles. After exchanging a few photos, we hauled over 30+ puzzles. I was excited about making a dent in our ‘done pile’. Well, so much for that idea because we came home with 40+ puzzles. Not that I’m complaining. They’re all awesome! But now our ‘to-do pile’ is huge.

Bring It On!

One of the puzzles I picked was this Ocean Park Puzzle from MasterPieces. I liked the scene in it. I liked the way it felt like working on an actual painting. It had an ‘old-time’ feel to it. From the outset, though, it was obvious this was going to be a challenge. Even sorting the pieces took hours. But we aren’t in a race here. Even with a huge pile of puzzles yet to do, there’s no hurry.

I felt like this was one of my favorite puzzles of all time. I can’t really put my finger on why. It’s like when you go to an art museum and a piece sticks with you days later. You’re drawn to it, but it’s almost like a subconscious thing. Or I’m crazy. Or both!

Great Artist

Artist Art Poulin was behind the art in this puzzle. This is our second puzzle of his work. The first, Roses at Snapdragons, was similar in its feel. And just as great. We will continue to seek out puzzles of his works as we really enjoy them!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 2000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 39″ wide and 27″ high. It completely filled the puzzle board we use. There was no poster included. The image on the front of the box is obscured in places, which is kind of annoying if you need it for reference. The pieces fit fairly well but are somewhat loose. But we did get this puzzle used and that may be why. The image is well-done and fun to look at.

Here are just some of the fun things to be found in this puzzle!

Gnomes Get Baking Puzzle from Ceaco

We finish any puzzles we have ‘in progress’ before we take long vacations. It’s like a thing with us. We don’t like leaving them out half-finished. We like to come home to a clean dining room table. Clean… for about 15 minutes. As soon as we are unpacked, out comes the puzzle board and the next puzzle. We needed something to get us back in the groove. Loosen ourselves up a bit. So we decided to ‘stretch’ with this Gnomes Get Baking Puzzle from Ceaco. We knew it wouldn’t be too terribly challenging. But still fun. And we definitely knew we’d love the final result. And we did. All around, from start to finish, this was a great ‘welcome home to puzzling’ puzzle!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho!

Ok, that’s not gnomes, that’s the dwarves… but close! The characters in this Gnomes Get Baking puzzle from Ceaco are quite fun to look at. They’re baking. Or some of them are, at least. Some are up to hijinks. Or eating the cookies. Everywhere you look, there’s something fun to be found.

Bizarre Bookshop 2 Puzzle from Ravensburger

Whew! Boy oh boy did this Bizarre Bookshop 2 Puzzle from Ravensburger ever give us a challenge! From the second we opened the box until the moment the last piece went in (many days later), this puzzle made us work for every piece. We more than got our money’s worth from this one as we spent many an enjoyable (and challenging) hour working on it!

Many An Interesting Character…

There are so many fun and interesting things in this Bizarre Bookshop 2 Puzzle from Ravensburger. Below is just a (very) small sampling. This is one of those puzzles that you must spend a lot of time on when you are done, finding things that you missed while assembling it. We didn’t notice these as we went, we were too busy just hoping we’d find a place to put a piece. Our marveling at the details didn’t come until later.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle did include a poster. A small poster. Even smaller than the image on the box, actually. Oddly, the box is huge. Much bigger than the size needed to hold the puzzle. We could’ve gone for a bigger poster. We made extensive use of our magnifying glass when we did this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is very good. The colors were great and bright. The artwork is fun and whimsical.

Monster Puzzle from Naturelish

Puzzling is about fun. And challenges. Happiness is finding a puzzle that is both fun and challenging. Like this Monster Puzzle from Naturelish. How can you not smile or even laugh at all of the crazy cool monsters in the picture?!? But then you see that there’s a lot of similar colors. Hard spots. The challenge is real in this puzzle. And so is the fun!

A Little Help. If You Want It.

The pieces in the Monster Puzzle from Naturelish have colors on the back. These are to assist you in sorting the pieces. If you want the help, that is. Now, I’ve seen plenty of puzzles with letters on the back, but never colors. There are 6 different ones. So you could sort the puzzle into 6 piles. Again, if you want to. Some people consider that ‘cheating’. I find myself using them if a puzzle is so hard that I might not enjoy it. I might quit. The colors (or letters) on the back give me a little kickstart. I still have to assemble the puzzle. I can still enjoy it. So I don’t consider it ‘cheating’. But I’m ok with people not liking it and not using them. You do you!

Cool!

The pieces in this puzzle are cut really differently. You’ll run into some of the craziest cuts you’ve ever seen. That actually makes it a bit easier as you don’t have to worry about ‘mis-fits’. And you’ll encounter some really fun-cut pieces too! Here’s just a few!

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a colorful poster. There are 1000 thick pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 19″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit very well and each is very unique. The colors were good. This was a fairly challenging puzzle.

Puzzling is supposed to be fun. And this Crazy Monsters Puzzle from HUADADA was one fun puzzle. The colors, the characters, the eyes, the teeth… everything about this puzzle was fun.

No Cheating!

Ok, I’m kidding. But, you could ‘cheat’ a bit on this Crazy Monsters Puzzle from HUADADA. How? Well, if you sort puzzles like us, you could start out sorting the pieces by the letters on the backs of the pieces. Really, though, it’s not like the puzzles puts itself together. There are only 4 letters, so you’ll just be able to sort the puzzle into four ‘quadrants’. After that, it’s still up to you. And no one is making you use the letters either. Sometimes we do. Sometimes we don’t. It’s your puzzle and your rules. And you can feel free to change the rules any time you want!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 19″ high and 27″ wide. There is a full-sized poster included that quite honestly is frame-worth on its own. The pieces fit fairly well and were of decent quality. The image quality and colors were fantastic. Bright. Vibrant. Just amazing. This was a really, really fun puzzle.

Chicken Family Puzzle from PPuzzling

Puzzling should be fun. This Chicken Family Puzzle from PPuzzling was one of the most fun puzzles we’ve ever completed.

They are thick, fit well and have amazing imagery and color. The poster is large and as wonderfully colorful as the puzzle. This puzzle is great!

They’re Watching Us

You have to admit, the picture in the Chicken Family puzzle from PPuzzling is funny. Very funny. After we finished the edges, I started with the firework explosions and my wife worked on the eyes. The eyes are amazing. The faces are amazing. And even the feet are fun! There’s nothing about this puzzle that doesn’t make you smile.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a wonderful, large poster. The assembled puzzle is square and is about 24″ wide and high. The pieces fit really well and the image quality on the pieces is very good. The puzzle picture is slightly glossy and is humorous and challenging. This puzzle is well worth the price and is definitely frame-worthy when completed.

Disney Tsum Tsum Puzzle from Ceaco

You never know what puzzles you might find in an antique mall or flea market. Sometimes you go bust. Sometimes you find magic. I came across this Disney Tsum Tsum puzzle from Ceaco in an antique mall in El Paso, Illinois. For $2 no way was I going to pass it up. The picture looked fun. Even though I had no clue then what a Tsum Tsum is, I had to get it.

Lots of Interesting Faces

There are all sorts of wonderful characters in the Disney Tsum Tsum puzzle from Ceaco. Fortunately, though, they are all facing forward. If they’d been oriented randomly we’d still be working on this puzzle weeks after starting. The colors and the faces were all that saved us from a long time of puzzling.

This was a really fun puzzle. It is one of our all-time favorites. It is an older puzzle. I was not able to find it available new online, though I did see a few used ones on eBay. Ceaco makes a similar puzzle that is still available (below).

What’s A Tsum Tsum?

Heck I didn’t have a clue what a tsum tsum is. Well, after a little research I found that it’s a very very popular toy in Japan, mostly, but also elsewhere. Pronounced ‘(t)soom (t)soom’, the toys are highly collectible. And kinda cute, I have to admit. And they make for a great puzzle, too!

The Last Piece

This is a 300 piece puzzle. It did not include a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 19″ wide and 19″ high. The pieces are thick, fit well and the image quality on the pieces is good. The colors were great and bright. The characters are whimsical. This puzzle was fun to assemble and was a joy to look at when completed.

Whiskered World A Kitty Kaleidoscope Puzzle from Cross and Glory

I thought it was funny that when we were done with this Whiskered World A Kitty Kaleidoscope puzzle from Cross and Glory, one of our favorite puzzle makers, I thought “Boy, that’s odd. There’s a cat eye in the middle of that cat’s hoodie.”. Really? That was my first thought? Not the great colors. The magnificent faces. Or the missing ears. Yeah, that one eye. Just staring at me.

But seriously, what a great puzzle this was to assemble. And a great challenge too. This puzzle took us quite a while to assemble. But it was more than worth it. It’s different and amazing. You’d half think that it’s a photograph it’s so well done.

One Piece

The interesting thing about this Whiskered World a Kitty Kaleidoscope puzzle from Cross and Glory is that once you get beyond the border, there’s just one style of piece. There aren’t any fancy cuts. No weird fits. Just one piece. You’d think that’d make it super-easy. But it doesn’t. Oh no, not at all. This puzzle is a test of your endurance and perseverance.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a poster. It’s a small poster, about the same size of the image on the box. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ wide and 27″ high. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is quite good. The colors were great and bright. The imagery is fun and enjoyable. If we had room to hang our finished puzzles, we’d definitely hang this one.

The Crab Shack Puzzle from White Mountain

We’ve assembled our share of busy puzzles. The ones where there are objects everywhere. Some more obvious than others. The Crab Shack puzzle from White Mountain has to be one of the best. The seaside setting is littered (in a nice way) with all sorts of great, interesting objects. Lots of them. It’s a whimsically fun place full of color. We often say we are ‘working on a puzzle’, but putting this one together was definitely not ‘work’!

A Work of Art

The imagery in The Crab Shack by White Mountain is really well done. It’s one of the best quality puzzles we’ve done. Sometimes you find things that don’t look quite right in a puzzle. Maybe an object that doesn’t quite fit. Or maybe it’s not the right size. Something about it. Not in this puzzle. Everything is drawn perfectly. It is a puzzle worthy of framing.

There are some very challenging spots in this puzzle. Not just one or two. Quite a few in fact. This puzzle brought hours of challenging enjoyment and the final result was something to relish.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 24″ high and 30″ wide. The pieces are nice and large and thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright and the colors are absolutely fantastic. A poster is included that is clear and easy to work from. This is a great challenging puzzle!
