Different Puzzles reviews and discussion

The artwork on these puzzles is beautiful, we gave a few as gifts and they were very well received. I am excited that the final puzzle photo is a little different than what is on the box, and the animal themes make me really happy! I had a pleasant experience with their CX team and we are excited to put the one we saved for ourselves together soon!

Honestly super fun! Ordered while they were doing a name your own price thing, which was kinda nice because I was able to try a few I probably wouldn't otherwise have, but they've all been fun. I gave one to a friend as a gift and she loved it too! Love the little surprises.

great quality puzzle and fun twist that lives up to the name! the pieces feel great and slot together nicely - easy gift that switches up the traditional puzzle experience. will definitely keep an eye out for new versions!

Puzzles that are puzzling because they're different! Initial Impressions: Different Puzzles feels like an eclectic, artsy, and refreshingly niche brand. It’s exactly the kind of unconventional challenge that serious puzzle people have been waiting for. They even have a mascot: Manny Peeces, a "fanatic" who represents the many (Manny!) emotional and physical stages of the process. How cute is that? While most of their collection features 1,000-piece challenges, I’m easing in with their 500-piece "Tulip Twister." Thanks to their "Name Your Price" sale, I managed to snag five titles to add to my shelves. Just enough to keep me busy (and happily distracted) all year long! The Experience: The precision of the puzzle cuts combined with the soft touch coating makes for a super fun tactile experience. I would love to learn more about the creators behind the artwork on their website, but the unexpected details in the images are so fun to uncover. As the pieces come together to reveal more surprises, I’m reminded that joy can be so simple to find. And, this reminder is so needed in these times! Nostalgia Note: Working through these pieces gives me that same nostalgic rush I used to get from 'Spot the Difference' puzzles in 2000s magazines. My inner child is beaming with joy! Big love for local artists and small businesses! P.S. Their website copy is top-tier! I’m officially a fan and so excited for the future of this brand!

As someone who doesn’t care for puzzles (but who has a husband who is obsessed) I have to admit that these are pretty cool. I love that there’s something uniquely special about each one and we had so much fun doing this together. Would definitely buy again in the future.

They're cute puzzles with some surprises as you put them together! I love that they did a pay-what-you-want promo during the holidays. At the end of the day though, I'm not sure if I'd pay full price for what they are... wish there were more unexpected elements and an additional puzzle like Mystery Puzzles

Ordered a few different puzzles to gift to friends and family for the Christmas holidays. The designs are interesting, beautifully illustrated, and I love how there's little surprises as you put together the puzzles! A great 'small' but thoughtful gift!

The puzzles arrived on time and well packaged. I haven’t put them together yet but I will be sure to update my review once I do! Based on the box I expect it to be good quality and I’m curious to see what makes it different.

I bought a couple of puzzles from Different Puzzles last month—one as a gift (Prickly Playground, 1,000 pieces) and one for myself (Flattering Fishes, 500 pieces). I couldn’t even tell you how long it had been since I last put a puzzle together, but this one totally pulled me in. The illustrations are super creative, and the puzzle itself is really well made. I loved discovering the hidden surprise images along the way—it was SO much fun! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was such a nice reminder of how relaxing puzzles can be—just sitting down, focusing, and zoning out into puzzle land. I also had a little “helper” for most of the process (my cat), which meant a few pieces mysteriously ended up on the floor. I really appreciate that their puzzles are made in the USA, use 100% recycled cardboard, and feature original artwork. You can tell a lot of thought went into both the design and the overall experience. Bonus points for the pay-what-you-want promo during the holidays—such a cool and generous idea. I would definitely buy from this company again.

Got this puzzle for my girlfriend for Christmas and it has been such a fun surprise. The quality really stands out, the pieces feel great, and the design is thoughtful and unique. Easily one of the best puzzles I’ve used.

Bought 2 puzzles for myself and 1 for a gift. I love the design and the mystery that comes with each puzzle as you start to build it out. My partner and I have spent about 4 days working on our first one and it was a fun challenge that we had to figure out as we worked through it. I would absolutely recommend these puzzles if you like something different that requires you to figure it out as you go. Also bonus points for some fun stickers in our box!

I purchased two puzzles — both were meant to be a gift, but one of the puzzles arrived damaged. The damage was within its shrink wrap, so I’m not sure if it happened pre or post shipping. The puzzles are beautifully illustrated and the pieces are sharp and clean. I’ve ended up keeping the one that arrived damaged and will need to tape up the damaged box in order to store the puzzle.

The designs are really beautiful and themes are different than your typical puzzle. I bought a couple to give as gifts and they make a great option for that. I bought them on sale and I'm not sure that I would repurchase at full price. A nice product but more than I'm willing to spend.

I was impressed by Different Puzzles! My friends and I have a puzzle club that meets monthly and we love trying out different puzzle brands and a quality puzzle really make a big difference! We've worked on two different Different Puzzles now and it's easy to tell they're made well - the puzzle nerds in us appreciated the sturdiness of the pieces, how well they clicked together (no "does this fit??" floppy pieces), and it was a really fun twist that the picture on the box isn't exactly the picture you end up making. Cool illustration styles too!

Absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully designed, Prickly Playground was such a joy to piece together! I recently added it to my collection and already can’t wait to get more from Different Puzzle. The quality is fantastic, the design is stunning, and the experience was fun from start to finish. High quality at a fair price :) UPDATE: I had an incredible experience with Different Puzzle’s customer service. They’re a small business, but their willingness to make things right goes such a long way. I’ll forever be a fan and will be recommending them to all my puzzle-loving friends!

This was my first @differentpuzzles and well WOWwowWOW!! The box!! The pieces!! The depiction of “musically-gifted animals jamming out among the mushrooms”…I simply LOVED everything about this puzzle. I’m looking forward to sharing it with my family full of musical mycophiles - and to getting my paws on every other @differentpuzzles in existence!!

This is one of the most delightful puzzles that I have ever done. Enjoyable from beginning to end. The pieces have excellent quality and the image is just simply beautiful and full of surprises as you go along. Can't wait to add more to my puzzle collection.

I did a DIFFERENT puzzle today! I completed Tulip Twister, a 500-piece puzzle. 🌷🎢 I love the chunky large pieces for the 500-piece puzzles! The 1000-piece puzzles have smaller pieces but they are your average puzzle piece size. I absolutely love the fun cut from Different Puzzles, there are some funky & cool puzzle shapes. I absolutely love the image, amusement parks and roller coasters are some of my favorite things. The Different Puzzles remind of the "find the difference" puzzles in various magazines from the 2000s. The differences are subtle and fun and the puzzle itself isn't completely different from the box. If you are used to working with a box image, you'll be fine! The differences are really fun and enjoyable. It makes for a fun surprise at the end! Overall, it made for a great puzzling experience. Some stickers are even included for extra fun. The pieces feel really nice and high-quality. They have a looser fit (you can't move big sections), but it didn't effect my puzzling process. PS: I love the amazing copy on the website. The designer in me loves little touches like that! Can't wait to collect some more Different Puzzles!

These are my favorite puzzles I’ve ever done. I’ve ordered 4 already. They have everything you want in a good puzzle. The images are beautiful and interesting, they are not too “the same” in any one place. You can tell the design was well thought out. The puzzle pieces themselves are well crafted and have almost a tacky soft surface that makes them easy to move around, and they’re funny to boot. I’ll be sad once I've done every puzzle they offer.

100% recommend this brand for all types of puzzlers! I was gifted a couple of these Different Puzzles for Christmas and have been hooked on them ever since. The images are beautiful and make the boxes themselves such a nice coffee table topper. I’ve tried so many modern/trendy puzzle brands and these are some of the highest quality and reasonably priced puzzles I have ever tried! This is now MY go to gift for friends and family
