About: Game Empire’s puzzle selection reflects their commitment to hobbyists of all kinds. They carry a mix of new puzzles, vintage or used puzzles, and sometimes rare or indie designs that are hard to find elsewhere in San Diego. Their quality puzzle aisle often includes scenic artwork, fantasy illustration, thematic puzzles (e.g. sci‑fi, art, landscapes, etc.), and family‑friendly or beginner‑level puzzles as well. For those serious about their puzzles, the store’s larger inventory means you can compare different brands or piece sizes in person, check finishes, and inspect sample art, something that’s often impossible online. Combine that with frequent game events, a used games/puzzles section, and accessibility, and Game Empire becomes a destination where puzzles are part of a broader immersive hobby experience.
