It’s a great time to be a jigsaw puzzle lover. We have more options than ever for art styles and puzzle features. With so many amazing puzzles being released all the time, it can be hard to narrow down the choices (if we had the budget, we’d buy them all!).
But we’ve got you covered. We’ve rounded up our picks for 10 of the best new jigsaw puzzle releases of 2025 so far (look out for our second installment at the end of the year). These picks stood above the rest for their stunning and unusual images, upgraded quality, fun features and delivering on what puzzlers most want or have been waiting for.
So without further ado, here are our favorites for the year so far!
This is the third installment in the “Wheel” series by Elena Essex and was highly anticipated by fans of the previous releases Autumn Wheel and Winter Wheel. We love the joyful colors and instant Spring vibes this puzzle gives - it’s blooming with seasonal pastels, florals and symbols of new birth. And we can’t wait to see the future final installment, Summer Wheel.
This puzzle is guaranteed to make you smile. From the popping colors to the permanently surprised eyes and the small details that give each food character a distinct personality, this is pure fun. And with clearly divided sections, this is a great puzzle to assemble and laugh over with a friend or two. Happily Puzzles is truly living up to its name with this one!
Talk about breathtaking! This painting by Canadian artist Julie Amlin immediately evokes the magical wonder of a beautiful sunrise. Even better? This was part of a new release from Villager Puzzles that has tighter fitting pieces than previous runs. The clouds look like they might be a bit tricky, which is perfect for puzzlers looking for more of a challenge.
Quirky, nostalgic, surprising and bursting with color, this puzzle breaks the jello mold. Photographic images on puzzles can often be tough, but this looks delightful with its varied textures, color palette and details. Plus, all Piecework puzzles have a curated playlist to give a multi-sensory experience that’s right on theme.
Always whimsical and weird, Le Puzz has added even more intrigue to this puzzle. The puzzle you assemble is slightly different from the image on the box AND there’s a scavenger hunt with hints on the back of the box. These bonus challenges will keep your brain engaged as you discover the funny little objects in the image.
A puzzle and book lover’s dream, this puzzle evokes the grand libraries you might see in a movie based on a Jane Austen novel. The timing of this release is perfect for Bridgerton fans looking for a fix while they wait for the fourth season to premiere next year. Put on your best jewels and gloves because we think this puzzle will be a ball!
While many popular puzzles evoke peace and relaxation, this puzzle makes a bold statement with its fiery color palette and a sense of energy and motion. It’s part of a newer series by Buffalo called BONJOUR, focused on contemporary art. We love the combination of detailed illustration with more abstract elements.
While this image is packed with many different objects, the negative space keeps it from being overwhelming and helps with identifying individual items to assemble. Putting together this puzzle will feel like browsing through a curiosities or antique shop (but less creepy). This is part of the Cloudberries small batch line, so snag yours before they sell out!
Gradient or rainbow puzzles are hugely popular, and this is a great variation with beautiful, fun patterns. It’s also a very approachable 2000-piece puzzle for those that may have been intimidated by a larger piece count. With distinct sections of colors and pattern details, this might just be the puzzle for you if traditional gradients have felt frustrating.
Not only has Werkshoppe released many new swoon-worthy designs including this one, but they’ve also upgraded their packaging! They’ve moved away from their previous cylindrical boxes and now have stylishly designed square boxes. We love the hand-drawn strokes in this art by Kate Lewis with lively patterns and sections that look so fun to pull out and assemble!
