About Peek Into Puzzles

Hi there! I’m Lauren and I started puzzling in February of 2023. I had purchased a 500 piece Wentworth puzzle for my mother for Christmas and resisted doing the puzzle before giving it to her. I felt that was wrong. Tempted by the beautiful pieces, I broke down and purchased Rooftops of Rome, a 250 piece Wentworth for myself. It arrived on my doorstep when I was working from home during for a two-day meeting. I started assembling it during a presentation and found that not only did I love the puzzle, I could listen better to the content of the presentation. On day two I finished the puzzle and after work drove to my mother’s house to borrow more puzzles. When I finished those, I made a puzzle run to a local store and bought my first Ravensburger.

With a few puzzles under my belt, I started researching and found a list of about 20 brands that were recommended and started placing orders. I set out the goal to try all of the brands. It didn’t take long for me to realize there were just a few more than 20 brands. But, what a fun experiment, and it has been. By June of 2024 I clicked over 100 brands and still have 150+ on my list of ones to try!

My favorite puzzles are original artwork where the artist is recognized where I can sort and piece together without relying on looking at the box to place every piece. I also like a beautiful sturdy box, limited dust, small poster, and a canvas or resealable bag.

I invite you to follow me on my journey as I continue to try new brands and revisit my favorites.
