A different shape for your next puzzle
If you enjoy a familiar activity with a change of approach, our round jigsaw puzzles give you a curved outline to follow. There are no four corners to find and no straight sides to assemble. Instead, the illustration and the continuous edge offer different ways into the build.
The finished shape is part of the appeal. A circular image draws the eye around the design, while the 1000-piece count gives you plenty of smaller details to work through. Choose it for your own next project or for someone who enjoys trying different puzzle formats.
Birds above or a reef below
You can choose between Bird Paradise and Starlight Scuba, two different illustrated subjects in this collection. If you are choosing a gift, start with the recipient’s interests: a love of bird-themed artwork might lead you one way, while underwater scenes may suggest the other.
In Starlight Scuba, silhouetted divers move through a colourful coral reef. Fish and sea plants give you smaller areas to recognise, with the darker figures providing contrast against the surrounding detail. It is a design you can approach through its subjects as well as its outline.
Starlight Scuba features in Bex Parkin’s collection, where you can compare it with a different subject and format. For a wider choice of creature-filled artwork, our animal and wildlife puzzles offer more illustrations to consider.
Finding your starting point
You can begin round jigsaw puzzles by finding the curved edge pieces, but that is not the only option. A distinctive animal, figure or patch of colour may be a more inviting place to start. Build several recognisable areas and connect them as the surrounding image becomes clearer.
Look closely at how the illustration changes around the circle. Colours and patterns can help you work out where a section sits, even before you have completed the outline. You may find yourself switching between the edge and the centre rather than finishing one before the other.
Check the finished diameter before choosing a working surface and leave room for loose pieces. If you are comparing shapes, our 1000-piece puzzles include other formats with the same piece count.
Each design is part of our female-led family business’s work with independent women artists. Choosing a different shape still gives you what makes the range appealing: individual artwork and time spent enjoying its details.
Circular puzzle questions
Are round puzzles harder than rectangular ones?
The outline changes your familiar clues, but the illustration matters too. A clear subject may offer an easier starting point than repeated colours. Choose the design and format that interest you rather than assuming the shape decides everything.
How many pieces are in these designs?
Bird Paradise and Starlight Scuba are 1000-piece circular puzzles. Check each listing for its complete product information and finished diameter.
Do I have to complete the outside first?
No. You can begin with a recognisable part of the illustration and return to the curved edge later. There is no required order for building the image.
