About Platinum Puzzles
Platinum Puzzles prides itself on top quality and gives the Puzzler an experience in the same way puzzles were first introduced back in the old days. By that I mean the 'sense' of a vintage puzzle.
The first puzzles that were produced did not have an image on the outside of the box
The puzzle Title was hand-written as were the 500 piece puzzles .
Some came in tin boxes as well as cardboard with the label stuck onto the outside
The pieces were not bagged back then but blanketed with tissue paper
Platinum Puzzles adds a personal touch;
When you open the box you are instantly greeted with a 'Welcome' envelope sharing a personal touch
Inside the envelope is a sheet of paper that shares the details about the puzzle such as the Title of the puzzle, number of pieces, date made and how many whimsies. The rest of the sheet is for record keeping of Puzzlers who have assembled the puzzle once it moves onto the next Puzzler; name, age, location, missing pieces and date completed.
Inside the box, the wood pieces are wrapped in soft white tissue paper and you will instantly see the Platinum Puzzle seal imprinted on the top sheet. You will see how perfectly the tissue paper is folded around all the pieces.
Finally, when you lift the tissue paper you will be delighted to see the lovely cut wooden pieces made of quality 5 ply cherry wood that are surprisingly light and are various shapes and sizes.
