Are challenging puzzles your thing?
Proper puzzle dweebs are always up for a fun and tricky puzzle – and we know that a little bit of difficulty is what makes puzzling so addictive!
Still, these puzzles are more difficult that our usual 1000 or 2000 piece designs so make sure to get your game face on when you start solving them! It’s always best to come up with an effective strategy if you’re really aiming for speed, but if you just wanna try it out there’s nothing wrong with winging it either!
Who knows, you might just be the next puzzle prodigy that’ll find these challenging jigsaws a piece of cake!

Let’s get you started with a puzzle!
Up for the challenge? Here’s the lowdown on our most challenging jigsaw puzzles for adults, arranged by theme. Which one will you try first?
Packed with detailed textures and complex shapes, the grayscale puzzle SHELLS is probably one of the hardest puzzles in our stash. Puzzlers looking for a tough jigsaw to solve will definitely enjoy putting this together. Of course, the best part is fitting in that last piece to witness the gorgeous beauty of its intricate, marine-themed design! The matt finish is to die for!
If you’re into contemporary art, why not try SKYLINE? Professionally-design by French artist Romain Trystram, this puzzle is made to satisfy and appeal to fans of modern architecture. The dark blue sky that covers the background can be difficult to put together, but the beauty of that finished skyline – pierced by tall skyscrapers – makes it all worthwhile.
Speaking of architecture, don’t miss METROPOLIS! This 2000-piece jigsaw is mega difficult – huge size, wacky design and all. You’ll definitely feel immersed in the busy streets of city life with this puzzle! If you like the style, we’ve also got a super-detailed and superbly exciting jigsaw called CROSSROADS. Jam-packed with tremendous detail from crowded buildings to busy streets, this top-view urban-themed puzzle is another great buy for architecture and design fans.
If you fancy setting up a puzzle battle with a friend, try SYMMETRY! This 1000-piece puzzle is unique because its mirrored design makes it way harder than a typical 1000-piece puzzle! Still, the bright colours and repeating patterns will keep you motivated – it’s a sure eye-catcher when it’s finished!
Looking for animal puzzles? Check out HYBRIDS! Travel to a magical world with the interesting mix of creatures in this jigsaw! Sure the illustrations are just adorable, but don’t be fooled! This puzzle is one of the most challenging designs in the Cloudberries collection! Not only are the animals drawings similar to each other, the pastel background colors of peach and white are as confusing as they are dreamy!
Now that we’ve mentioned colors, best to mention one of our most challenging gradient puzzles too! Try MOUNTAIN, a 1000-piece rainbow puzzle that you’ll definitely want to conquer. The finished jigsaw is just straight up elegant, but it will take some determination and strategy to get there – much like climbing up the top of a real mountain!
Our Japanese-inspired ORIGAMI puzzle has gentle blue colours that look newbie-friendly, but that background is actually a pretty big challenge. But don’t fret: the vivid burst of coloured cranes will prevent you from ‘folding’!
