The Puzzle People
The Puzzle People have a rich story. In Richmond, Tasmania, “The Puzzle People” began in 2014 as a much-loved local shop, offering puzzles, games, souvenirs, and gift items. Over time, it merged with “A Bit Curious” in Hobart, creating an even broader destination for families and collectors alike. Today, visitors can browse everything from handcrafted wooden puzzles to licensed plush toys, pop culture treasures, and locally made products. It is a one-stop shop that caters to both children and adults, with something fun and thoughtful for every age.
The store lovingly blends the passion of puzzling, historical zest, education through toys and games and the more diverse arena of fandom through its three distinctive areas – Puzzler’s Heaven, A Bit Curious and The Pop Culture Room.
Puzzler’s Heaven is uniquely situated in Richmond, like the village, puzzles share a varied history. Here, you’ll find the reason for the store’s name, you can puzzle while you are there, be bedazzled by a large-scale piece puzzle and you can make a purchase of some of the most popular brands including Ravensburger and WASGIJ to name two.
Are you just a little bit curious? If so, welcome! Housing a collection of licensed plush toys, games, models, fidgets, educational products, mind-benders and souvenirs, the middle and largest room promotes stories and mental gymnastics for all!
The Pop Culture room is a love letter for certain fandom. It holds a collection of products to purchase for any aspiring Jedis, Timelords, Wizards, Superheroes, Mad Hatters and Friends… There are a couple of villains in there too…
Ever since the Puzzle People were established by Glenn and Maria, the shop’s philosophy is based on service, quality and the never-ending need to play. Now guided by Julie and Steve, the business continues to honour its legacy.
The Puzzle People invites you into a world where play, story, and tradition all fit neatly together.
