The best jigsaw puzzles
There are more than a few jigsaw puzzles out there, but some special ones caught our eye thanks to being a little bit nerdy, cool, or just plain handsome. We've listed these below.
1. Star Wars Seek and Find: The Death Star
Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.
This is a cool idea that's ideal for younger audiences. Besides being full of life and character, it also has a ton of cheerful, fan-pleasing stories going on wherever you look. There's Jar Jar Binks, who seems to have been arrested by Storm Troopers. There's Obi-Wan Kenobi, sneaking around as he did in A New Hope. There are some Ewoks escaping from their cell through vents. It's just plain fun, and you'll get a kick out of its Wheres Waldo-esque approach to the beloved Star Wars saga.
2. The Legend of Zelda Collector's Puzzle
Although this puzzle is a little more subtle in terms of subject-matter, it's a thing of beauty that hits all the right notes for Zelda fans. It's also challenging thanks to the parchment effect - everything looks similar when broken up into pieces, so your skills will be tested.
Depicting Hyrule from across the ages, this jigsaw tasks you with putting together Link's stomping ground from Death Mountain to the Great Deku Tree. Honestly, it's the sort of thing I'd be very happy framing on my wall once I was done.
3. Disney Villainous puzzle range
We love the Disney Villainous board game, and one of its standout features would have to be the artwork. As such, it's cool to see developer Ravensburger bring out a range of jigsaw puzzles based on those eye-catching paintings. There are a few on offer, but our favourite might be the Maleficent or Ursula ones.
4. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Great Hall
Few buildings in cinema are as iconic as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and you can recreate it with these jigsaws. They're not your average puzzle, though - they're fully 3D, allowing you to have the likes of the Great Hall on your desk or a shelf. Because there are lots of different sets detailing different parts of Hogwarts, you can put them together to form the full castle. It's impressive in-person.
There are loads more where that came from, too. The Knight Bus. The Hogwarts Express. Diagon Alley. The Burrow. Seriously, take a look at the full Harry Potter 3D jigsaw range for yourself - they're awesome.
5. Game of Thrones: Winterfell
Another impressive 3D puzzle, this miniature version of Winterfell from Game of Thrones - the home of the Stark family - is a sight to behold. It has over 400 pieces and is pretty enormous, stretching upward with tower upon tower. It perfectly captures the location's dour feel, and will look very cool on a shelf or desk. There's even a mini Weirwood tree, if you look hard.
