Becky - @puzzled_01
“I’m from the UK and puzzling is my main hobby. I also love walking & exploring new places, being surrounded by beautiful scenery. I used to puzzle with my Mum when I was little, but I only started puzzling again in 2020 and I’m so happy I did! Puzzling is great for relaxing! I also love connecting with puzzlers from all around the world on Instagram, and finding new puzzles & artists! My favourite Wentworth is the first one I purchased, Park Avenue by Joy Laforme, one of my favourite artists. Wentworth puzzles bring so much happiness, finding the lovely whimsy pieces & the gorgeous wooden smell!”

Maria - @mk_puzzle
I’m a photographer and graphic designer Puzzles have been my love in childhood. Unexpectedly and happily, 6 years ago I returned to this passion. It gives me a lot of calm, It helps me to find balance in our increasingly unbalanced life… And after puzzling I find it very pleasant to take interesting photos of them. In Puzzling I’m looking for beautiful, interesting pictures, I like artworks, especially contemporary art, but I like comics, all kinds of beautiful illustration or abstract art too. When I started running my IG account I found out that around the world there are so many inspiring people with puzzle passion, creating fantastic puzzlers communities I love trying new things. Wood puzzles were my discovery a couple years ago, These first were exactly from Wentworth. I loved them from first sight. They were so unique, exceptional, it was a really new and fresh experience. The whimsy and irregular shapes of pieces were truly a nice challenge for mind. And this beautiful Wood smell ! Become part of Wenworth Brand Ambassador team is Great Adventure!
Diane - @bizzlespuzzles
“Hi, I’m Diane and I’m passionate about all things jigsaw, from finding the most stunning artwork to conquering the trickiest piece shapes. I believe that puzzling is more than just a hobby; it’s a stress-reliever, a creativity booster, and a fantastic way to connect with fellow puzzle enthusiasts. I am on the planning committee for Puzzle Parley and am a volunteer with the USAJPA. You can find on Instagram and TikTok where I share my jigsaw joy!”

Cécile - @puzzlesmakemehappy
“Hi, I’m Cécile and I’m a French puzzler who loves illustrated and colorful puzzles that highlight the art of my favourite artists. I like beautiful and seasonal illustrations to help me bring joy and softness into my daily life. I discovered Wentworth Puzzles in 2020 and immediately fell in love with them and their whimsy pieces. My favourite might be any of Joy Laforme, and especially the gorgeous ‘View from Roosevelt Island’ I love so much! When I’m not puzzling, I’m probably watching my favourite football teams, walking in flower gardens or spending my best time at Disneyland Paris: anything that makes me happy!”

Priscilla - @puzzleforthesoul
“Hi, I’m Priscilla, a French girl leaving in the south of France with my lovely girl Liva, a 8 years old stunning whippet, 2 big adorable kitty boys, a small kitty girl who doesn’t love anybody except us and also our family.
I’ve discovered Wentworth back in 2021 thanks to a special friend of mine who gifted me my very first one! I immediately fell deeply in love with everything: the smell, the touch of these special pieces, the quality and…. The whimsies obviously!!!
Like a lot of people, I’m dealing with chronic illnesses and puzzles are part of my self-care routine! They really help us deal with pain as puzzling is always a pause, a mindful moment forgetting time for a precious moment.
I’m lucky enough to be an Ambassador for the 2nd time and I’m always too excited to share the obsession with you all!!! But also the values of the brand and the kindness of the team that is involved for mental health and other important causes. ”
Pauline - @l_inspireuse
“I’m Pauline, a French puzzler from Brittany. I live in south Morbihan close to the beaches and so many beautiful landscapes, with my boyfriend Vlad and my 2 puzzle cat-ssistants (kind of) Pat and Pepa.
In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing my mind and my body while puzzling and hiking, especially in my beautiful Brittany. I remember puzzling when I was a teenager and really started puzzling again during the first lockdown in 2020. Since then, my passion and my puzzle collection has grown as much as my closets have narrowed, fortunately, we recently moved in our new house where I now have my own puzzle room!
I discovered the extraordinary Wentworth puzzles thanks to my lovely friends and also Wentworth ambassadors, Cécile and Priscilla. They completely succeeded in making me fall in love with the brand, the lovely illustrations, the wooden pieces (and their smoked wood smell) and I’m so thrilled to join the Wentworth Ambassadors for 2024.”

Jessa - @jigsawjessa
“Hello from the beautiful and rainy state of Washington! My name is Jessa, and I’m a mom to three littles. They keep my life full with homeschooling, random adventures, and extracurricular activities. In our spare time you can find us exploring the great outdoors, reading books, building legos, and completing puzzles!
I’ve puzzled my whole life, but in my adulthood there was a stretch of time where I stopped doing the things that brought me joy; puzzling being one of them. It wasn’t until the last few years that I decided to bring them back into my life and I couldn’t be more grateful! Not only did I find a long-lost hobby, but I also found an incredible community of friends here that have changed my life for the better.
I am absolutely thrilled to be a Wentworth ambassador for 2024 and can’t wait to see what this year holds. Wooden puzzles are such a treat, and Wentworth is one of the best! I love the whimsical artwork with unique piece cuts that match the image. There is nothing quite like opening up a new Wentworth box and experiencing all the senses, from the smokey scent of the wood to the feel of the chunky pieces in your hands.”

Grace - @puzldme
“Hello, from Sydney, Australia! I’m Grace aka. @puzldme and I’ve been a jigsaw puzzle enthusiast ever since my first encounter with a floor puzzle as a toddler. When news of the first pandemic lockdowns were announced, among the ‘essential items’ I stocked up on were.. puzzles! What started as a spontaneous lockdown idea to share puzzle timelapse videos online eventually led me to starting a dedicated IG puzzlegram account to seek out and share unique, beautiful puzzles from around the world.
In my quest for unique puzzles, a friend introduced me to Wentworth wooden puzzles and it was love at first whiff of the earthy, woody scented pieces! My favourite thing about opening a new Wentworth puzzle is searching inside the cloth bag for all the themed whimsies then leaving them till last to savour the special whimsy puzzling experience.
I’m a self proclaimed ‘organised chaos’ type puzzler often puzzling my fave patterns or colour sections first and switching between speed puzzling and slow puzzling depending on how I feel that day. I’m looking forward to sharing more beautiful Wentworth puzzles with you through the Ambassador programme this year!”

Lyndsay - @jigsawcompleter
“Hello everyone. My name is Lyndsay (although most people will know me as Jigsaw Completer) and I live in the beautiful city of Edinburgh in Scotland with my wife. I have puzzled all throughout my life but started doing it more in 2020. I discovered the wonderful community of puzzlers and haven’t looked back.
I love completing all kind of puzzles of different shapes and sizes, one thing I do not enjoy is sorting the edge pieces- thankfully my wife does! Thats just one of the things I love about a Wentworth jigsaw- you don’t have to sort because the cut of the pieces makes it impossible. I find completing jigsaw puzzles gives me a sense of relaxing calm and gives me a chance to escape from the busy world we live in.
Completing a Wentworth puzzle is an experience from start to finish, firstly you open the beautiful box which reveals the gorgeous plum bag and when you open the bag you are welcomed by a lovely woody smell. Then you have the enjoyment of completing it. When I am not puzzling I enjoy gardening, reading and watching treasure hunting documentaries.”

Charlotte - @lottiemakes
“We are a family of puzzle lovers – right down to my 4 year old. I’m a mum of 3, sharing our play and adventures on our social channels and blog. We love to do puzzles together, there is nothing better than the smell of opening a new bag of freshly cut wooden jigsaw pieces is there?
We enjoy working together to finish the puzzles but personally, I also love sitting down on my own for some mindful time; with a puzzle, a cuppa and cake! We find puzzles are a great way to get the kids off their devices and work together to feel accomplished once a puzzle is complete. So happy to be an Ambassador for Wentworth this year.”

George
“George is a retired engineer from Northern California in the United States. During his career he was a project manager where he supervised and consulted on the design and build of hydro electric power plants on six continents.
George’s other passion is his church family and his strong faith in God. George grew up in Wyoming near Yellowstone National Park where his father was a pastor who conducted services in both English and German. George enjoys reading his Bible daily.
As a child he attended a one room schoolhouse with his dog. His teacher would often joke that his dog would be on time but George would be late!
George excelled in athletics and it was his love of snow skiing and outdoor adventures which eventually led him to California. George became known for his ability to ski black diamond ski runs around California while attending college.
George was recently diagnosed with dementia and his health care provider recommended puzzles for cognitive benefits. We stumbled across a Wentworth puzzle and couldn’t resist trying it after reading the rave reviews from other customers. Thankfully we tried it because George is now a huge fan.
There is something about the Wentworth brand that resonates with George’s current cognitive abilities and he now puzzles almost daily either by himself or with family and friends. George is excited about being chosen as a Wentworth puzzle ambassador for 2024.”

Caroline - @puzzle_topia_2.0
“I’ve been puzzling since I was a young girl and have always loved solving puzzles. My parents loved puzzling and board games and we always had a puzzle on the go at home. If I wasn’t puzzling I was drawing, painting or reading. Being an art lover and a puzzle lover, I get to combine 2 of my passions in a single activity.It’s a love I try to pass on, to my kids and share with family and friends. I also continue to paint and have a couple of my paintings made into puzzles. I hope to have more of my art made into puzzle form and dream that one day I will be lucky enough to be part of the Wentworth team of artists.
During lockdown I started an Instagram account as a way of keeping track of my puzzles and discovered a community of fabulous puzzlers from all over the world.
Wanting to give back to these amazing people who helped me keep my sanity during a difficult period in my life, having just lost my father, I started a game with my friend Zina called Puzzle Battle as a way to help puzzlers come together and connect using a fun event.
Last year I got to try my hand at speed puzzling when I visited my wonderful friend Jimena in Barcelona.I don’t kid myself, I am not a fast puzzler, puzzling is for me a form of mental meditation that I use to alleviate the stress of everyday life. However it was a fun experience that I would like to repeat in the future.The best part was meeting some of my friends in person.
It’s during the last couple of years that I got to try my first wooden puzzles and fell in love with Wentworth puzzles.My favourites are from the Extra Difficult collection. I love the funky piece cuts and the challenge they represent. Doing a wooden puzzle is a totally different sensory experience from cardboard and are probably some of the most precious of the puzzles in my collection.
Puzzles are also a sustainable activity and can be done over and over again, and I love to lend out my puzzles to friends, organise evenings of puzzling with the girls and introduce new people to this wonderful activity.”

Emilee - @thecasualpuzzler
“I had a very nontraditional upbringing. I grew up in the middle of the woods with no electricity. Unlike a lot of my friends who watched TV, listened to the radio, played on earlier computers, or other activities that involved power, I filled my time with reading, crafts, cooking, and of course – puzzles. My parents called me, The Puzzle Kid. At age 4, every Monday, I would take out all the puzzles I owned and take over the kitchen. I would do every single one and spread them out across the kitchen floor.
My love of puzzles grew and eventually, in May of 2021, I decided to share my hobby online. I decided to film a haul video for my YouTube Channel. Little did I know, there was a whole puzzle community to discover!! I have met so many great people and have loved discovering new brands, artists, styles, and puzzles from all over the world. In almost every video, you’ll see my three furry helpers, my kitties. I also share my love of travel and reading with my subscribers. It’s been such an amazing experience connecting with people all over the world with the same interest!”
