I have never been to a store like this. I ended up buying a 1000 piece puzzle impulsively, and now I can't stop wasting my weekends working on it. Thank you for showing me what I've been missing.

If I'm back in thr area again, I'll definitely pick up another puzzle. They had 2000 and 5000 piece puzzles as well so maybe I'll pick one of those up.

Love this shop! We came here for the first time yesterday, after my neighbor Donna told me about this place. The wife and I earned 9 stamps on our first trip. ? 10/10 will visit again.

Super cute spot to get a puzzle or game! Reasonable prices and friendly service. We got a DC Metro puzzle and had fun working on it that afternoon.

A puzzlers dream! Loved how many puzzles they have. If you are a beginner, they have plenty for you. If you are an expert, they also have a nice selection. If you are adventurous, they have large puzzles (42,000 pieces). I stumbled upon their murder mystery puzzles, which instantly intrigued me, so I had to get one. Can't wait to put it together. The only thing I wish they had was a selection of used puzzles, so that there is even more to choose from at a lower price. One does not always want to spend upwards of $20+ per puzzle they get. Other than that, glad I was able to stop in!

We leave in nearby Lake Ridge, but every time family comes to visit and we take a stroll in Occoquan, we go to Puzzle Palooza! We easily spend $100+ dollars each time and we love the care and attention from the employees. They are all so kind and fun to talk to! The variety of puzzles and games to choose from is great and there is always new stuff! We love Puzzle Palooza!

I stumbled upon this gem of a store while shopping on Small Business Saturday. I was thrilled to see so many amazing puzzles in one place AND at great prices! Amazing selection of high quality puzzles (and some games). I will be telling everyone I meet about this sweet store in Occoquan!
