Ever gazed at a jigsaw puzzle of the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty and thought, “Been there, done that?” We feel you. At Cloudberries, we don’t like boring. So when it came to designing our first city jigsaw puzzles, we decided to break the mould.
Instead of plain old photographs, you can look forward to fun, creative takes on the classic travel puzzle, with cool designs and loads of quirky architectural details to keep things interesting. Here are 7 of our favourite city puzzles for adults, each with a unique Cloudberries twist…
BUILDINGS
500 pieces
Location: Hull, UK
It’s hardly a major tourist hub, but our BUILDINGS puzzle takes you to the unlikely destination of Hull – the UK’s 16th biggest city. Illustrated by the talented local artist Joseph Cox, this 500-piece puzz let’s you build everything from towering blocks to charming Tudor houses.
Assemble your own grand designs while the mellow colours soothe your senses. This is a puzzle that’s perfect for anyone who loves architecture and design – and because it’s relatively small, it’s super satisfying to complete.

NYC isn’t your run-of-the-mill Big Apple puzzle. Expertly designed by the amazing Koivo, this 1000-piece puzzle captures the iconic landmarks of NYC with a quirky, abstract twist.
