Since starting Puzzle Fanatics, I've had sufficient experience with the recent puzzles of several companies to compare the overall quality of their products. My "Company Reviews" page, in fact, now includes full reviews of puzzles from eight different companies, so I've decided to post my first puzzle company ranking list.
I use a point-system to rank the companies, and there is surprisingly little difference in point-totals in most cases. It seems that most companies are strong in some qualities and just average in others, so it's all boils down to one or two category "misses" on their parts as to where they will rank. I rate eight separate categories from 1-4 points each, and offer up to three possible bonus points for exceptional quality in any of the rating-categories. That means that a perfect score would be 35 points (and no company has approached that number yet). This eight-company ranking is based on total points with the percentage of a perfect score also shown.
More reviews and list adjustments will follow as I gain more experience with the puzzles of other companies.
