Noodles For Lunch Puzzle from Galison

It never fails. We make a puzzle that is food-themed and I get hungry. This time it was the Noodles for Lunch puzzle from Galison. Thirty five bowls of noodles. If that doesn’t get you hungry, nothing will. Each bowl is different. The chopsticks are different colors. And the backgrounds are different. Thankfully. Otherwise this would’ve been one seriously-tough puzzle. As it was, it wasn’t that hard. But then, it wasn’t that easy either.

A Tight Fit

I was able to pick this Noodles for Lunch puzzle from Galison up by a corner piece when we were done. The pieces fit tight and do not come apart easily. It’s hard to make mistakes putting this one together. It’s pretty obvious if you have a piece wrong. Or even try to put a piece in the wrong spot.

Is this puzzle a frameable work of art when you’re done? Probably not. But it’s a cool puzzle nonetheless and it was fun to do. And that’s the whole idea!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 500 pieces. The final puzzle is a square that is 20″ x 20″. The pieces fit really well and are nice and thick. The images of the bowls are a little less crisp making them a bit challenging but not super-difficult. There is a poster included. This is a great challenging puzzle!

Heirloom Pumpkins Puzzle from Galison

This was one of the first puzzles we put together. I’m not sure how we made it through it. This Heirloom Pumpkins puzzle from Galison was not an easy puzzle to complete. So many of the pumpkins were similar in color. And texture. It was a challenge. I bought this puzzle because my wife loves pumpkins. Our efforts were rewarded because we both loved the final result.

Stems For The Win

Easy identifiable objects in a puzzle can make it a bit easier to assemble. The pumpkins themselves are very similar, so it was kind of hard to try and separate the pieces by color. But the stems seemed different enough (specially when using a magnifying glass) that they became our starting points. This Heirloom Pumpkins puzzle from Galison was a great challenge with a rewarding finish.

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a small but high-quality poster. You’ll need it. And if you’re like us you’ll make a lot of use of a magnifying glass. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle.

This is a quality puzzle that brings hours of enjoyment.

Andy Warhol Flowers Puzzle from Galison

This Andy Warhol Flowers puzzle from Galison was kind of a departure from our usual puzzles. It’s definitely not a picture of an old grocery store. Nor is it a peaceful 1800s countryside. And with only five different colors, it’s certainly one of the less colorful puzzles. But that in no way means it’s not awesome. In fact, I have to say its easily one of our favorites. Andy Warhol of course was a very famous artist. He did a number of paintings of flowers. This puzzle is of one of his paintings that was first displayed in the 1970s. Each painting was of the same flowers, but using different colors. They’re all quite amazing, as is the one in this puzzle!

An Enjoyable Challenge

Although this Andy Warhol Flowers puzzle from Galison didn’t take us too long to assemble, it was one that we found ourselves stopping to enjoy as we went. I think this puzzle opened our eyes to doing more puzzles containing famous artwork in the very near future.

There are some challenging spots in this puzzle for sure. The same colors are found throughout.

The Last Piece

This is a 500 piece puzzle. It includes a poster that is the same size as the picture on the box. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces are thick, fit well and the image quality on the pieces is very good. The colors were great and bright. This puzzle is definitely frameable and is quite worthy of display.
