    That was a great quote from the founder. For so many, the only exposure to puzzle have been the blurry landscapes or baskets of kittens. There’s been so many exciting things in the puzzling world lately and I hope to see more of it spillover at, say, Walmart.

    YES!!!! Bring it- landscapes and kittens are what kept me from puzzling- I love puzzles now and can't wait to see better graphics more easily attainable!

    Thanks for sharing our this brand. I like how the woman's face is super realistic fading into her more stylized hair. "Black Girl Magic 1" is stunning, I will have to get it 🌻🍄

    The stand up reference picture should definitely be standard. At the very least, a poster (looking at you Ravensburger). That’s one reason I love Buffalo Games. Images like this intimidate me. For a 1,000 piece puzzle, there is a lack of color variety. Granted, I’ve never tried a color gradient, but I just don’t have enough puzzle experience to feel comfortable trying an image like this one. You did a great job though!

    I agree- puzzles have come a LONG way- not just baskets of kittens, horses and endless landscapes ugh. I won't even bother with puzzles I only "so so" like anymore- there are too many are full on love and thats how every hobby should be. If the pandemic did one thing right- it was getting puzzles in the spotlight and brands seeing we didn't just want animals or castles/cottages!!

    I'm really excited about this brand, I have been seeing it all over Instagram... Damn all those amazing american puzzle brands I can't get my hands on! 😩😉 I also prefer a tighter fit, but with such a beautiful puzzle a loose fit is definitely no deal breaker for me 🤩

    Those puzzle pieces remind me some of the Magic Puzzle Company's pieces. I wonder if they feel similar, I love the feel of MPC so this would definitely interest me in this brand more if they have that same high-quality feel.

    I love MPC too! These are more rigid, but have a similar super-matte finish to them. And these are looser fitting.

    I prefer a puzzle with a tighter fit also . I hate putting pieces together and then you can't move them also what about puzzle dust ? It looked like there was quite a bit. Good luck on the 5,000 piece puzzle.

    Good eye! It’s funny, the puzzle dust actually shows up way more in the video than how it looked in real life on the black background. I was hardly aware of it while puzzling!

    They look a bit like Magnolia or Enjoy puzzles but with a random cut :D Unfortunately they have the same issue (to me) as Magnolia have, their designs are very human-leaning and I'm just not a fan of people on my puzzles. It just makes me uncomfortable, I don't like looking at people especially not as intensely as you'd do with a puzzle design. A pity they have a loose fit though..

    My first thought also was resemblance to Enjoy puzzle (which, in my opinion, is the best brand I've done so far). And I agree about Magnolia. Their humans are too creepy, with their big eyes 😬 no, thank you. I don't mind people on classical paintings though.
