A jigsaw playground - what fun!

Pedestrians on Queen Street at Bras Basah, Singapore can now enjoy an interactive 3-D jigsaw puzzle outside the Waterloo Centre.
Three sets of large foam structures designed to look like old playgrounds from Singapore's past are providing a  pop-up play space,  open until the end of the month.
What a fantastic idea!

"Must have" Jigsaw Puzzle Accessories

Doing a  jigsaw is all about separating, sorting, piecing together, and then storing - completed or incomplete.  Special jigsaw accessories are available that take away the hassle, and make puzzling even more fun.
We think that sorting and storing your pieces by colour not only helps keep your puzzling area tidy, but also helps you complete the jigsaw faster. Sorting through a lot of pieces using a few old yoghurt pots or meat trays, or just spreading them out on your table, and then picking them up again when you have to pack up is not necessarily the best way!
We have two specially designed puzzle sorters that you will not be without once you have them. Believe me, mine are in constant use!
Sort and Go


Sort your puzzle
Both are in stock on our website. They also make great gifts - and Father's day is coming up!

World's fastest puzzler


15 year old Deepika Ravichandran of East Hampton, is the fastest puzzler on the planet, logging in at 13 minutes and 7 seconds to complete the official Guinness puzzle on May 9. Her time beats the current record of 13 minutes and 14 seconds. She completed the official Guinness World Records 250-piece jigsaw puzzle, which was an oval shape with no picture on the box. Most of the pieces cannot be told apart. “There are pieces that are such odd shapes, I don’t know what goes where,” said Deepika. Despite that she assembled 18 pieces per minute.  Read more about it here

Art from puzzle pieces

We never cease to be amazed by the uses people put jigsaws to!
Ron Davis from the Queens borough of New York,  re-purposes finished puzzles by combining pieces from several of them to create unique vibrant works of abstract art.                    

Ron Davis and the work titled Antarctica
He hopes to exhibit his work in galleries after he
completes 21, a great feat especially considering that since he first began the project in 2009, he has suffered a heart attack and stroke.

The work below is titled  “My Love Piece,” and features the words “Love” and “Peace,” a homage to his hippie days.  What a fantastically talented man!  Read more about him here
