About Us

Why The Puzzle Collab?

Our purpose is to bring together expert puzzle manufacturers and talented Australian artists and designers to deliver a puzzling experience that feels as good as it looks. Founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2025, we are passionate about sustainability—both through the premium recycled materials we use and the sustainable relationships we build with our creators and the puzzling community.

More than just a puzzle, each piece is a work of art and a story to be told. The artwork is so stunning and crisp, you’ll want to frame it once complete.

Directly Supporting Local Australian Artists

The artwork is front and center of everything we do, and our artists receive sustainable royalties from every single box sold. When you complete a puzzle from The Puzzle Collab, you are directly investing in the career of a local Australian illustrator or designer. Every artist brings an completely unique point of view, and we can’t wait to share our growing calendar of creative collaborations with you!

Why 500 Piece Puzzles?

We initially focused our collection on premium 500-piece layouts to fill a gap for accessible, highly rewarding puzzles. Here is why we love them:

  • Space Savvy: The perfect coffee table layout footprint, leaving plenty of room for your favorite snacks and a glass of wine.
  • Time Friendly: Ideal for fast-paced modern schedules, allowing you to enjoy a mindful escape without a massive multi-day time commitment.
  • No Overwhelm Here: Skip the 'what have I started' stress of giant piece counts and enjoy the satisfying flow of progress.
  • Speed Puzzling: This competitive community is growing fast, and it is an exciting sport we are incredibly proud to support.

Expanding into 1000 Pieces

You asked, and we delivered! While 500-piece challenges remain a foundational favorite at The Puzzle Collab, we recognized that the global puzzle community loves a deep-dive challenge.

Our 1000-piece puzzle collections offer a premium canvas for our artists' complex illustrations. Built using thick German Blue Board and featuring our signature anti-glare matte finish, these beautiful, immersive layouts offer the ultimate framing project for your walls once the final piece clicks into place.
