E.F. asks from Portland, OR on November 23, 2010

What Stores Sell Puzzles for Grown Ups?

Our family has started a Thanksgiving weekend puzzle tradition - but I've waited too long to buy one online this year. Oops. I seem to remember a kiosk at Clackamas Town Center, but other than that, I'm not sure where to look. This is NOT a puzzle the kids help with - we go for the ridiculous 2000 piece picture of wine bottle cork type of torture. :-) Can anyone help?

There is a puzzle store at the Alderwood Mall. (At least there was the last time I went. I'm not a frequent mall shopper.) The Fred Meyer near my house has a fairly decent selection of puzzles. I know they had some that were at least 1500 pieces. They also had some pretty challenging designs. I don't know if they are all like that, but since they are everywhere, it would be a good place to start.

Is there a Hastings near you? or most any book store would be your best bet... Wal-mart has a few, but not much of a selection.

Try the Portland Art Museum. Their gift shop is free (without admission) and has a separate entrance near the courtyard. I'd call first, though, as parking can be tough. I also know some friends who always get their 'torture' puzzles at Walgreens!

I don't know where you live, but out here in Aloha, on TV Hwy, there is a place called Rainy Day Games, and I'm pretty sure they have those puzzles.

You could also check with any local art or history museums in your area. We have gotten some terrific puzzles there. We love to do puzzles over the long holiday weekends, except we don't attempt the 2000 piece size! Have fun!

I was at the Lloyd Center Barnes and Noble yesterday and they have a special large display of puzzles and toys that I think does include puzzles with lots of pieces for adults. I'm not sure, tho.
