About: At Building Blocks, puzzles are an important category—there’s a strong variety from classic and wooden puzzles to larger jigsaws and themed sets that appeal to collectors and casual puzzlers alike. The two stores both carry brands known for craftsmanship and durability, and often stock hard‑to‑find or higher‑quality puzzle sets. Because the store isn’t overloaded with mass toy churn, puzzles get good visibility and staff can help you find something special, whether a gift or a personal hobby piece. The atmosphere is warm and playful, with a focus on discovery: you’ll often find something in their puzzle section you didn’t expect. Many customer reviews specifically mention their Ravensburger offerings or laser‑cut puzzles and the satisfaction in doing in‑person puzzle shopping here.
