Our Story
Who We Are
The Puzzle Chest was founded out of a lifelong love for puzzles—a passion sparked in childhood, where hours were spent fitting pieces together and framing the finished art like prized memories. That early joy blossomed into a deep appreciation for creativity and a desire to share it with others.
Today, The Puzzle Chest is a woman-owned business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, built on the belief that puzzles can be more than a pastime—they can be meaningful gifts, artistic expressions, and sources of joy. We’re here not just to sell puzzles, but to offer treasures that inspire, challenge, and delight—one beautiful piece at a time.
What We Sell
At The Puzzle Chest, we offer a wide and growing collection of print-on-demand jigsaw puzzles designed to celebrate diverse voices, bold creativity, and rich storytelling. While we feature classic themes like nature, animals, and cityscapes, what truly sets us apart is our focus on underrepresented puzzle categories—including afrocentric, steampunk, gothic, and cars. These unique themes are often overlooked in the traditional puzzle market, and we’re proud to give them the spotlight they deserve. Each puzzle is carefully curated and printed to order, ensuring quality, freshness, and a connection to art you won’t find in big-box stores.
Why We Sell It
We sell puzzles because we believe in the magic of slowing down, connecting, and discovering. Each puzzle we offer is a form of self-care, a celebration of culture, and a spark of curiosity. We're here to fill the gaps in a market often dominated by repetitive or non-inclusive imagery, and to offer designs that reflect a broader, more colorful world. Through our store, we aim to make puzzling more meaningful, more inclusive, and ultimately, more fun. After all, every puzzle is a treasure waiting to be discovered.
