Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What sizes do your jigsaw puzzles come in?
Our jigsaw puzzles come in a variety of sizes to suit different preferences and skill levels. We offer puzzles ranging from 100 pieces for beginners or quick sessions, up to 2,000 pieces for more challenging experiences. Popular sizes include 500 and 1,000 pieces, providing options for every puzzler.
How do I choose the right jigsaw puzzle for my skill level?
Consider starting with a lower piece count if you're new to puzzling or want a quicker experience. As you gain confidence, you can move up to higher piece counts. Also, look at the image complexity – scenes with distinct areas of color or patterns might be easier than those with more uniform or intricate designs.
