It’s not just children who enjoy doing puzzles: many of us adults have discovered a passion for jigsaws as a meditative pastime during the pandemic. If you’re looking for unique, creative designs for some festive puzzle fun, check out these three independent labels: Wonderpieces is part of Familiar Faces Verlag and has created a range of eye-catching contemporary puzzles in collaboration with well-known illustrators. One highlight is the Brandlhuber mit Liege which features a summery scene of one of architect Arno Brandlhuber’s buildings illustrated by Rinah Lang. Closer to home, Berlin is also represented in the jigsaw world with a set from We Come in Piece. Packed with city landmarks, symbols and tips, this puzzle lets you discover the length and breadth of Berlin in a fun way and includes a poster from illustrator Magdalena Stadnik featuring fun metro facts. Prts, meanwhile, is all about creative, artistic puzzling. Created by friends Jan Gerkens, Ninja Ewecker, Adrian Ewecker and Pelle Buggel, this jigsaw range features designs by young artists as well as established names. With ten abstract, graphic and photographic designs, these puzzles include a special treat: a signed, museum-quality art print that you can order by scanning the code in the packaging. Puzzling is all about mindfulness, concentration and – most of all – fun. Are you ready for some puzzle fever?
