About Us

Perplexing Puzzles started as an idea in John's head during the fall 2019 as a gift idea for his spouse, Jill, who is an avid Puzzler. Working in a local maker space John discovered that the process was much harder than initially expected and his Christmas idea turned to Valentine's Day before his first suitable puzzle was created.

As it turns out, creating puzzles is as satisfying as solving them and John continued to grow the collection.  By spring of 2020 he had completed five puzzles and had opened an Etsy store when Covid hit. The next two years were a blur of time as John focused full time on working with a company manufacturing Covid response supplies and Perplexing Puzzles was put on hold until winter 2022.

Perplexing Puzzles is now restarted with new and more puzzles, brand new equipment and a new studio.  We are ready to go forward and challenge Puzzlers with delightful and entertaining puzzles of all skill levels.
