Nautilus Puzzles - San Luis Obispo, California

These wooden, next level puzzles are gorgeous, so many of the little pieces are works of art themselves. They are beautifully crafted, they feel good in your hands, a joy to put together. We are so happy and appreciative of our discovery of these, we highly recommend them!

Nautilus Puzzles are fun to work on and the team at Nautilus are very helpful. The puzzles all have image themed whimseys that are unique to each puzzle and increase the fun of putting them together, especially the multi-piece whimsies that are not obvious until assembly is under way. Nautilus have also upped the challenge with some brilliantly irregular borders, sometimes themed, sometimes random. The designers are clearly having fun creating the cuts and fitting them to the images, keeping puzzlers entertained. The overall quality is good, with pieces that are solid, durable, and feel good in your hands. I recently tried some less expensive Chinese made puzzles and was seriously disappointed as pieces couldn't be separated, images were blurry, and some pieces were too small to handle easily, e.g., 0.25 x 0.5 inches. In addition, the whimsies were more 'formulaic' and less creative. Finally, on the 1 Nautilus puzzle where I ended up 1 piece short, almost definitely my fault, the Nautilus team were able to replace the piece with no bother. Thanks for the fun!

I absolutely have loved my purchases from Nautilus puzzles.
When I first started to buy the puzzles it had been a long time since I had done puzzles so I appreciated the mini puzzles to get me in the groove again.
The puzzles are so beautiful and creative with hidden characters to be found as well as interesting puzzle shapes. They have very cool puzzles. The best puzzles that I have found on the internet.
I haven’t had any problems with shipments. The puzzles always arrived quickly with all puzzles in perfect working order.
I love having puzzles out for get togethers at our house as well as taking them on vacation. I even took a tray and did a puzzle while waiting for DMV.
We have a tiki bar in our backyard and I have actually had some people put together a mini puzzle to see if I need to take their keys and call an Uber. Very tiki sneaky.
My last piece of advice is to take some time away from your phone. Order out and do a puzzle with a significant other or family members to reconnect and stimulate your brain.
Happy puzzling! Is that a word? ?

I have had a great time with these puzzles but the last one I bought had missing pieces. Unfortunately their website would not let me contact them. The link doesn’t work.

I bought few Nautilus puzzles, but it turned out that they rent their puzzles for a fraction of the cost through the Hoefnagel Club. I feel like wasted tons of money...
