Frequently Asked Questions

What are good puzzles for a 13 to 18 year old?
It depends on how much of a challenge they want. For a first brain teaser, a classic like the Penny Drop dice game or an easy wooden puzzle is approachable and fun. For a teen who already loves puzzles, a Safecracker logic puzzle or one of our Impossible Puzzle Series designs will stump even a serious puzzle lover. Browsing by difficulty level is the easiest way to match the piece to the teen.

Will it be too hard, or too babyish, for a teenager?
Neither, as long as you match the difficulty. The range runs from easy all the way to our hardest Impossible-level puzzles, so you can skip anything that feels like a young kids' toy and also avoid one that only frustrates. Browse by difficulty level to narrow the range.

Can I personalize it with their name?
Yes. Every piece can be laser-engraved with a name, date, or short message of up to 45 characters, which turns a puzzle into a lasting keepsake. Look for the personalization option on the product page.

Is a wooden puzzle a good screen-free gift for a teen?
That is what these are built for. Each one is a hands-on, screen-free challenge that gives a teenager something to do away from a phone, and many double as a desk piece they keep out.

Is this a good graduation gift?
It makes a thoughtful graduation gift. A puzzle that rewards patience and problem-solving suits the milestone, and an engraved name with the graduation year makes it personal. See our graduation gift collection for more ideas.
