Mickey and Friends Boardwalk Fun Puzzle from Ceaco

The image on the front of the box for this Mickey and Friends Boardwalk Fun puzzle from Ceaco really caught my eye when we were ‘visiting’ the puzzle section of our local grocery store. The colors. The cartoon characters. Everything about it screamed ‘fun’. I’m a big fan of cartoons (I highly recommend watching the TV show Toon In With Me on MeTV) so I was so looking forward to making this puzzle. But then…..

Great Picture. Not So Great Quality.

As I mentioned I was drawn to the picture on the box when I bought this Mickey and Friends Boardwalk fun puzzle from Ceaco. And that didn’t end when I stepped back to enjoy the final result. Bright colors. Great images. It’s the time in between the purchase and the putting in the final piece that wasn’t as enjoyable. The pieces just weren’t cut right. One had to be modified with a knife to get it to fit together right. If I tried a piece in the wrong spot I had to be super careful removing it or I’d get 5 or more pieces with it. Oh and if you’re like me and like to assemble smaller portions of the puzzle off to the side and then move it to the puzzle, good luck. The pieces don’t fit well enough to make that an easy task!

The Last Piece

This 1500 piece puzzle included a very colorful, nice poster. The assembled puzzle is about 32″ wide and 24″ high. The pieces fit very loosely and are not cut very well at all. If you even touch the puzzle inadvertently the pieces will tend to come apart, at least until the entire puzzle is assembled. The image quality on the pieces themselves is very good.

The French Walkway Puzzle from Eurographics

Every once-in-a-while we look thru the ‘to-do’ pile of puzzles and decide that it’s time to do a difficult one. The French Walkway puzzle from Eurographics was definitely in the ‘difficult’ category for us. The final image was fantastic. This will be one of our favorite puzzles forever. The memories of the challenging sections are long gone, replaced by time spent enjoying the final result.

So Many Challenges

There were so many parts of The French Walkway puzzle from Eurographics that posed a challenge. The walkway was tough but not too bad since the shading varied enough so you kinda knew where pieces go. The walls and ivy and flowers were all demanding.

My (somewhat crooked) picture does not do this puzzle justice. It was definitely a frame-able puzzle if you’re looking for something nice to hang on the wall.

The Last Piece

The pieces in this puzzle were nice and thick and cut perfectly. They stayed together like they should. The quality of the image was fantastic. There is no poster included with this puzzle, but the box itself is pretty large making it easier to look at the picture. This puzzle contains 1000 pieces and ends up being around 19″ high and 26″ wide.

Hawaiian Food Truck Festival Puzzle from Buffalo Games

This Hawaiian Food Truck Festival puzzle from Buffalo Games was our first ‘Pun Fuzzle’. We didn’t even know what that was when we opened the box and started sorting the pieces. When you’re done with the puzzle (or maybe even while you’re assembling it) you’re faced with various challenges. Things to find. In this puzzle you needed to locate the 21 tacos. And find all of the puns. It’s just another fun way to enjoy a puzzle!

Snack Stack Puzzle from Springbok

I have to fess up. I wanted to quit this puzzle 30 minutes into starting it. I thought the Snack Stack puzzle from Springbok was way too tough. I was frustrated. The colors on the pieces didn’t quite match the colors on the box. That might not seem like a big deal, but it is when you’re trying to tell the difference between cheese sauce, French fries and Cheetos for example. Fortunately, my wife talked me down and we put our heads together and struggled forward to completion.

Hours Of Hungry (But Slow) Progress

I love crazy sandwiches. The more this Snack Stack puzzle from Springbok came together, the hungrier I got. I should probably learn my lesson about buying food-related puzzles at some point but I appear to have a weakness for them. I’d probably finish a puzzle sooner if I’d stop looking at it and then started dreaming of having a sandwich.

The Last Piece

There is no poster included with this puzzle. The puzzle is about 24″ high and 30″ wide and contains 1000 pieces. The pieces are thick, cut well and fit well. As I mentioned, I felt that the color of the image on the puzzles could’ve better matched that of the picture on the box. But I guess the fact that they don’t match is part of the challenge!

There are so many great sections of this puzzle that are challenging but fun to make. Creatures are everywhere. We got those parts done first. Keep in mind as you’re doing the puzzle: “From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere!”. Nothing could be truer about this Dr Seuss Oh The Places You Will Go puzzle from The OP Games!

Then came the hard parts. The grass. The path. The sky. Lots of similar-colored pieces are to be found, presenting a great challenge that is well-rewarded in the end.

If you want to see what the finished puzzle will look like you have to reference the (smaller) picture on the back side of the box.

Taco Table Puzzle from Springbok

One of our favorite places to find puzzles is at antique malls. Sometimes we even luck out and find ones that are NIB (new in box), never having been put together. This time our luck was found at the Heart of Ohio Antique Center just outside of Springfield, Ohio. There’s a booth there that is chock full of new puzzles. Perhaps it was a local store going out of business, I do not know. But I do know that it had great puzzles, like this Taco Table puzzle from Springbok.

Hungry Puzzling

Food-related puzzles make us hungry. I mean really. Look at the fresh ingredients in this Taco Table puzzle from Springbok. I’d be all over those shrimp tacos. And the guac. The colors are so bright. What a fun puzzle to make. But it did make our stomachs growl. A lot.

Pretty. But Not Easy.

There were parts of this puzzle that were quite challenging. There are lots of similar colors to be found all over. Fortunately, the puzzle image is quite clear. That helps. But it was still a great challenge and we enjoyed putting it together!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 24″ high and 30″ wide. The pieces are big, thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright. This is a great, quality puzzle!

Snack Treats Puzzle from Springbok

Oh sure, why not get another puzzle that makes us hungry while we put it together? I thought we learned our lesson when we did the sandwich puzzle. Or the ice cream shop puzzle. But nope. We had to make the Snack Treats puzzle from Springbok. And we’re glad we did! There are so many fun treats to be found in this puzzle. It was fun finding snacks we had as kids. Or adults. And yes, it made us hungry!

The Dreaded Missing Piece

We bought this Snack Treats puzzle from Springbok at an antique mall. The box was a little beat up. It was definitely used. You always run a risk buying a used puzzle. And for the first time, we got one that was missing a piece. And not some obscure corner piece that you might not notice either. Nope. It’s right there smack dab in the middle. I don’t think it could get any more obvious. Well, it adds character, right? And the price was right too. The missing piece did not detract from our enjoying this puzzle.

The Last Piece

This puzzle did not include a poster, but keep in mind we bought ours used so maybe a new one includes a poster. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 30″ wide and 24″ high. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is fantastic. The colors were great and the pieces are cut perfectly. This is a quality puzzle that brings hours of enjoyment.

Village Grocer Puzzle from the Vermont Christmas Company

I don’t know why, but I love vintage store puzzles. Them and bookstores. Maybe it’s the items on the shelves. The colors. I’m not sure. It’s always interesting to find out what was on the shelves back in the day. Back when shopping wasn’t this sterile experience like it is today. Look at this Village Grocer puzzle from the Vermont Christmas Company for example. Look at the produce. The flowers. The shelves. Ok, so maybe it’s not realistic, but I like it and I liked doing this puzzle!

Great Fit, Great Colors. Great Puzzle.

When you step back and look at a puzzle after you put in the last piece and smile, that’s a great moment. That’s why you puzzle. Or at least why I do. It’s doubly special when the puzzle is made with quality. From the cut to the thickness to the colors. I really enjoyed this Village Grocer puzzle from the Vermont Christmas Company.

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 24″ high and 30″ wide. The pieces are small but thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright. This is a great, quality puzzle! It does not include a poster but the box image is clear and easy to work from.

Looney Tunes That’s All Folks Puzzle from Aquarius

This Looney Tunes That’s All Folks puzzle from Aquarius is another great puzzle that we picked up what I call the most dangerous store in the world, Puzzled Fun and Games in The Island at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I was looking for a cartoon-themed puzzle because I think they are not only fun but the artwork is so often bright and colorful. In this case I was fooled by the simplicity and beauty of the picture, not realizing that this isn’t the easiest puzzle around. Not by any means.

Not So Easy

There are areas of this Looney Tunes That’s All Folks puzzle from Aquarius that are more difficult than others. Of course, putting the characters together was fun. And that was challenging enough on its own in spots. But the red and black patterns around the edges were definitely more challenging.

We didn’t realize it at the time, but every Aquarius puzzle has a signature piece in it somewhere. It’s one of those fun things you look for while you’re putting a puzzle together. You can see the piece in the center of the picture below.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 20″ high and 28″ wide. The pieces come in a baggie but it is not resealable. There is no poster included. The pieces are big, thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright. If you are looking for a quality puzzle that is frame-worthy, this would be a great choice!

Cereal Box Puzzle Set from White Mountain

One of the most dangerous places for us to walk into is a store that sells puzzles. Self-control? Non-existent as soon as we grab the door handle. Remorse? Never! This time the ‘culprit’ was the Puzzled Fun & Games store located in what is called The Island in Pigeon Forge, TN. You talk about puzzle heaven! This store is a great place to pass away an hour or two, going down aisle after aisle looking at puzzle after puzzle. We immediately proceeded to make a pile of puzzles at the checkout counter. One of the first to go on the stack was this Cereal Box Puzzle Set from White Mountain.

Fun! And More Fun!

This set consists of 6 boxes, each a different puzzle, 100 pieces each. Yep, they’re packaged just like the single serving cereal boxes of our childhood. The graphics on the pieces were bright and colorful. The pieces fit perfectly. They’re smaller puzzles that aren’t too hard to complete but they were super fun to put together.

Flashbacks

The fun part of assembling the Cereal Box Puzzle Set from White Mountain was of course thinking back to our younger days when sugary cereals were more common in our diets! But I do admit, I had some frosted flakes out of a small box at a hotel breakfast just the other day! The only thing missing were the morning cartoons on TV!

The Last Piece

Each ‘cereal box’ puzzle comes in its own resealable baggie. There is no poster included with this puzzle, but honestly you really don’t need one. Each puzzle is about 9″ high and 7″ wide. This is a fun puzzle and would make for a great gift for all ages!
