Our puzzle cuts

One of the most frustrating parts of working a jigsaw puzzle is pieces that won't stay together. Ours are made so they do.

The dies that cut Tau Puzzles are handcrafted in Indiana by a skilled craftsman with over 40 years of die-making experience. They're built so that every piece locks tightly into place, whether you choose 500 or 1,000 pieces.

500-piece random cut

Larger pieces, the same 26.625" × 19.25" finished size. A relaxing puzzle for an afternoon, and great for families and younger puzzlers.

1,000-piece random cut

The classic challenge. Random-cut pieces in many shapes, so you can't solve it by shape alone.

Up close you can see how the pieces interlock. Each one holds its neighbors, so a section can be picked up and moved without falling apart.
