Really great little company

Really great little company. Excellent response to emails. Puzzmats are good fun and great value for money. Ideal gifts. We have played different mats with different age groups and all really enjoyed them.

A Christmas morning tradition

Santa leaves a present hunt every single year, where on Christmas morning our daughter (11 this year) must solve the Puzmat to find gifts hidden around the house and then crack the final code to unlock the box full of gifts. This year will the 5th year of the Puzmat present hunt and it is our family’s favourite festive tradition because it means we spend a full morning together solving clues. Thank you.

Easy to navigate the website

Easy to navigate the website. Easy to order. Free shipping The Puzmat games are a bit expensive for a single use but are great fun and not too difficult for me. I have just ordered the last two games and looking forward to playing them.

Puzmat Circus: Something for everyone and fun for all

Word games , teamwork, jigsaws, history trivia ; Puzmat has it all and more!

I got to take a crack at Puzmat circus with two other players, and it provided a solid three hours of fun. My favourite element was how varied each small puzzle was so that each person got to take centre stage with their own personal knowledge.

I also really enjoyed the hands on element of being able to chop up the mat, cut out parts to use as tools and puzzle pieces for the game, a really unique experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a group activity that is genuinely engaging and enjoyable.

A great experience for a team building…

A great experience for a team building event and not just for the summer. The Team loved the event and it was such fun and interesting seeing different parts of Birmingham City centre. The weather and dark night did not put anyone off, it made it even more enjoyable.

Excellent game for an evening in!

I spent some time researching a new game I could bring to my girls night in and found puzmat enigma through instagram - and I’m so glad I did. There were 5 of us playing and it took about 2.5-3 hours and we had so much fun! It was so nice working together to complete the game and we all had assigned roles (code checker, object handler etc) which everyone really enjoyed - it was such a good evening. Highly recommend.

Puzmats for work away days

Puzmats are a fantastic activity to do as part of a work away day ! I would highly recommend if you want to to something different that will definitely challenges teams / groups to work collaboratively!

I can't wait to try the other puzmats I bought with family and friends :-)

Hi Julie,

Thanks for your review. 😊

The description, instructions and pictures all show the game being cut out. I'm sorry you didn't notice that.

Let me know how you get on when you do get round to playing it with some scissors.

Warmest regards

Hi Oliver,

We do have a hints and tips page you can use to help you. The game is a family game so caters for teens and adults in difficulty level. It is also meant to be played with other people. 😊

Hope that helps.

Bryn and the team.

Hopefully will be enjoyed by teamp

I have purchased two for a team building day for my team based on reviews. Hope it is as good as it sounds. I didn’t give it full stars as wasn’t impressed that I was charged a shipping cost on top of postage and packaging. Looks like the company is based in UK as am I so not sure what that added cost is for!?

Fun but overly vague and complicated

This was a lot of fun. It took us 6 hours instead of 3. But we were hindered from the beginning, the first clue had to be read from a war memorial which at the time was being repainted at the time.
Also, had a few issues with road works, which covered up.

This isn't the games fault, however if the game gave any indication of how long you should be you should be walking for, or in what direction it would have helped, as we would have known we just walked pasted the three zebra crossings completely covered by the road being dug up.

Also, finding a tree, tress stump or bush in Hyde park, or past a drain is hugely vauge. And we were hindered more by things like not being able to see things, because the game was clearly written when the trees didn't have leaves.
We had to look at the answers multiple times, the actual riddles and were a lot of fun or solve.

Good value but puzzles too hard.

We did the Windsor one. Look, it's good value and a bit of fun. However some of the clues/puzzles are just insanely difficult. It can be so cryptic at times and unless you want to check every answer as you're going you can very quickly get thrown off. Some of the clues are wrong, we were directed in the direction of a sign and walked for quite a while before checking the answers and it turns out the direction was opposite to the sign. There was a part that involved climbing some stairs that were permanently closed/blocked off which meant we had to miss some clues. But in general it was just a little bit too difficult for us to really enjoy casually, and we didn't really see much of the good bits of Windsor or learn about the city at all. It also doesn't end anywhere near the pub that you have offers for! I don't think we would do it again unless the difficulty level was a bit lower, perhaps a shorter distance and it helped us explore the history of Windsor more. If you're a hardened puzzle solver and you're more interested in the puzzle than exploring then this will be great for you.

Fabulous family evening fun.

Fabulous fun for our family. Mum, dad and 12 year old son.
We would spend half an hour on it in the evenings and we made it last months. Great to do together instead of just watching tv.
Such a great brain workout & a chance for everyone to be involved in some way.
Well done for making it so accessible to all.

Great family fun!

This was great family fun for those who like to solve puzzles. It was a puzzle from start to finish. It was a little tricky to begin with, but once we got the hang of it we were off. It was a unique game that was enjoyed by all who played it.
