The Story of a Wentworth Wooden Puzzle

We’ve been captivating puzzlers with the best of British craftsmanship for over 30 years. Take a sneak peek behind the doors at Wentworth Puzzles HQ and see how our talented team turn an image into an intricately designed wooden jigsaw puzzle for you to enjoy.

Working with Artists

The story of a Wentworth Puzzle begins with our Product Team working with artists and licensors to find images we think you’d like to help create the wood puzzles you love.

Our Product Team choose images depending on the artwork and specially select images that will make entertaining and engaging wood puzzles for adults and enjoyable puzzles with large pieces for children

We have an extensine range of wooden jigsaws and there really is something for everyone, whether they’re a jigsaw newbie and or a puzzle pro. Our Product Team work hard to ensure that our range comprises a variety of images from your favourite categories, including Animal and Nature Puzzles, Shaped Puzzles, hard puzzles, unusual jigsaw puzzles and a wonderful selection of gifts for jigsaw puzzle lovers

“Creating new puzzles begins with the artwork concept, then working with the artist to license the image or to create an exciting new commission, it’s always a collaborative and rewarding process.”

-Laura Barnett
Head of Product and Innovation

Handcrafted with Care

Once we know what type of images are in our new collection our talented Design Team can get to work on create their cunning puzzle cuts that challenge and charm puzzlers.

The style of image can lend itself to a hard puzzle with extra difficult details, a shaped puzzle or one of our puzzles with whimsy pieces that are available in large piece counts, from 40 to 1000 piece puzzles.

“We use the artwork as inspiration for the puzzle design, whether that be for the creation of the whimsies or extra difficult details within the puzzle.”

-Steve Hoare
Design Manager

Tested by Our Team and Beyond

Each puzzle design is tested by us to ensure lasting quality, to check the difficulty and fit of the pieces and to confirm that it is as enjoyable as it is beautiful. We also have a team of puzzle testers around the world who help us test our puzzles. We love hearing feedback about our new designs and our team of testers help us perfect every puzzle piece.

Our entire range of wooden puzzles for adults undergoes the same testing process to ensure each new design adheres to our high standards of production and quality.
 

“Once a puzzle has been created it is ready to be tested by us here at Wentworth Puzzles HQ and we have a dedicated team of puzzle testers who provide valuable feedback too.”

-Clare Willis
Production Scheduling Manager

Let the Production Process Begin!

Now the fun starts! We’re proud to say that all of our wooden puzzles are made in Britain using thick 4mm wood sourced from sustainably managed forests. Watching one of our wood puzzles being made is like watching magic and it’s easy to become mesmerised by the puzzle cutting process!

“Once puzzles have passed testing the production process can begin. Each puzzle is laser cut here in Wiltshire, UK, using state-of-the-art technology and inspected by hand before being lovingly packed into its plum cloth bag and premium puzzle box. ” 

-Thomas Webb
Production Director

Despatched From Us Straight to Your Door

Our Despatch Team work hard to make sure your wooden puzzle reaches you safely and quickly.  The Team pack your puzzles with care and send them on their way to you.

We have removed the single-use plastic shrinkwrap from around our puzzles and there is also no single-use plastic in our packaging process, we removed bubble-wrap in favour of paper packaging and only use paper tape for a more envrionmentally conscious option.

“Our despatch building, filled with puzzles (a real puzzlers’ paradise) is where your new puzzle is picked by hand and carefully packed so it can make it’s way straight to your door ready for you to enjoy. ”

-Neil Risby
Despatch Manager
