Buffalo Games - Charles Wysocki - Churchyard Christmas - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Buffalo Games Wysocki puzzles are always fun — there’s so much detail, I looked for identifiable objects rather than shapes. And it’s a nice piece of Americana. Would recommend.

We have a (used to pre-covid) puzzle and coffee club in the office that meets in the afternoon to enjoy cup of pour over and put puzzle pieces together. It's mostly crowd sourced puzzles and we try to get one something that would stay current with the theme/ season. Someone brought a Wysocki 1000 pieces puzzle and we have been hooked on to them ever since. You'll find a huge collection of indoor and outdoor scenery which depicts the life in America from the horse and buggy era. Once you put together a few of his puzzles, you start to see some of his characteristic elements like the depiction of horses and the American flag in the puzzles. These are always fun challenge to put together. Typically a 1000 piece puzzle would take about a week to week and a half of leisurely putting together. To up the challenge we have gone back and tried to re-do some of them blind (without the reference picture) and it's still fun. I picked up this particular one around Christmas. The winter depictions are very pretty and the final outcome is quite satisfactory. The colors are vibrant, pieces fit well snugly. These are some high quality puzzle pieces and are well worth the price. I think this would be a good quarantine gift to keep kids and adults busy.

I have never found a Charles Wysocki puzzle that I did not like, and I have done a lot of them. I love the nostalgia and the artwork.

Complexity makes it fun to work

I did this puzzle in 24 hours with my 9, 7 and 5 year old daughter. We loved it. The pieces were sturdy and easy to tell if they went together. Great quality. Would buy another one of these again!

I love Charles Wysocki puzzles for their artistry and always a challenge. I do look for the more interesting puzzles in their category and always come back to this artist. Themes are delightful with just the right degree of a challenge.

Great puzzle but a piece missing from the frame and one unknown piece.

Since my kids were young — maybe 5? — putting together a Wysocki puzzle has been part of the family holidays. And the pieces have been precisely cut.
