Are you ready to take your puzzle hobby up a notch and challenge yourself with unique puzzles? You might have heard about shaped puzzles, or even tried one for yourself, but have you seen the ones that have animal-shaped puzzle pieces? Talk about a next level puzzle!
In this brand guide, we’re going to show you a few of the companies that make puzzles with animal-shaped puzzle pieces. Not only can you give yourself an extra challenge with these puzzles, but the whimsical pieces also make puzzling more fun. They’re also all made of wood, which brings back old-school puzzling in a new way. Let’s get started!
Remember the days of wooden puzzles where you could practically smell the forest from the puzzle pieces? Unidragon Puzzles is bringing wooden puzzles back, complete with that amazing scent and fantastical puzzle shapes.
Their puzzles start at $29.95, and their designs have a magical touch to them. You can put together a fairy bird, charming owl, majestic wolf, and more. Each one comes with animal-shaped puzzle pieces, including a dragon to honor their name.
Liberty Puzzles is on a mission to bring back the golden age of puzzling, the 1930s, when puzzling was an inexpensive way to pass time during The Great Depression.
All of their wooden puzzles, which start at $75, contain a dozen or more “whimsy pieces” which are hand-designed in Boulder, Colorado. The whimsy pieces match the theme of the puzzle, so they could be animals, characters, or unique shapes.
Finding where the whimsy pieces go is like a treasure hunt within an already complex puzzle, so these wooden puzzles are perfect for pros.
Based in the UK, Wentworth Puzzles creates unique wooden puzzles. They even have shaped puzzles like the Autumnal Fox, which curves all the way around to form a cute curled-up fox, and includes animal-shaped puzzle pieces.
Made with sustainably sourced wood, Wentworth Puzzles have a classic British flare, and ship worldwide. They offer puzzles in various sizes starting at $41.50, and the smaller sizes are great for puzzlers who are new to wooden puzzling.
If you’re ready for a new type of puzzle, venture outside of normal piece shapes with these animal-shaped puzzle pieces. You’ll love the look, feel, and smell of classic wooden puzzles, and the whimsy pieces make them even more wonderful!
