Ten Puzzle Companies Ranked by Overall Quality


I am adding reviews of two puzzle producers today to my ranking list of eight companies previously posted: Eurographics and Cobble Hill.

I use a point-system to rank the companies, and there is surprisingly little difference in point-totals in many 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 ten-company ranking is based on total points (with the percentage of a perfect score also shown for informational purposes}. 

More reviews and list adjustments will follow as I gain more experience with the puzzles of other companies.

Puzzle Company Ranking List:

  1. White Mountain -   31 points, 89%
  2. SunsOut -   31 points, 89%
  3. Dowdle Folk Art -   30 points, 86%
  4. Aquarius -   29 points, 83%
  5. Ravensburger - 28 points, 80%
  6. Cobble Hill - 27 points, 77%
  7. Hogan's Harbor - 25 points, 71%
  8. Eurographics - 24 points, 69%
  9. Ceaco -   24 points, 69%
  10. Puzz3D (MB) - 15 points, 43%
