Bumfuzzled #35: Vitruvian Visage
November's Bumfuzzled: a Mona Lisa you've never seen before, drawn by hand by Chad Krizan and cut into 127 brain-bending wooden pieces. Leaves, rings, curls and a few sneaky false fits. Assemble it on the engraved backboard, inside the frame, or freeform. One print run of 500, then it retires.

I'm a monthly subscriber, and Puzzle Bomb day is one of the favorite days of the month in our household. I'm not sure how Chad keeps dreaming these things up, but they're always extremely enjoyable!So much fun! I am not traditionally a puzzler, but I gave this months a try. Got it today and put it together in about an hour while listening to music. It was such a fun experience. The puzzle was unique, the pieces so cool, and putting it together was satisfying. Try it out! Not to mention, it comes very well packaged and ships crazy fast.Oh my! I've always loved puzzles but these are out of this world. Even my husband, who would never touch a puzzle, has a hard time pulling away from these. Thanks, Chad, for your excellent work!I just received my first subscription puzzle, and I’m hooked. Now I know how they can offer such a generous guarantee, no one would cancel! The quality, the attention to detail, and even the packaging, and ease of storage are incredible.I've done over 400 puzzles with the Hoefnagel Puzzle Club over the last 5 years or so and your puzzles have been my favorite.

These are smallish, but every bit as fun as a 1,000 piece puzzle. I'm absolutely hooked!Insane puzzles! I do wooden puzzles, but had never seen anything quite like this. The puzzles are so intricately designed, the precision is incredible, and the people and customer service at Puzzle Bomb have all been top notch.I love how unique these puzzles are! The vibrant colors and high-quality construction are something you can't truly appreciate until you see them in person… They are so cleverly designed that you are constantly being fooled in ways you never imagined. Even after a dozen of their puzzles I still find myself impressed when they trick me again.This is truly something unique in the puzzle world, as I've never seen anything even remotely like these. I eagerly await each new release as each puzzle is so different from the previous one…I love how every one of Chad's designs makes you think differently about the solve strategy. It's not just cut and paste from puzzle to puzzle, but an entirely different experience. His thoughtfulness in the design of each puzzle really shines.This was the most fun I have had puzzling in a long time (maybe ever.)… I love it when a designer/cutter fools me :)… This was so fun, and I am so proud of myself, as I didn't used the provided pattern. Highly recommendedThis is such a cool company! I have many of their puzzles and have enjoyed putting all of them together! The puzzles are very unique, extremely artistic, and high quality! Keep up the good work!Chad's designs are something else, in the best of ways. It's a category redefiner, breaking all the rules of puzzles.I've been buying the Bumfuzzled line since the very beginning. Insanely creative puzzles that will bend your brain!Puzzle Bomb puzzles are quirky and unique, but tons of fun to do!
