Mr Puzzle started making puzzles to sell in1993 and mrpuzzle.com.au has been trading on the web since 1999.

The idea for the business came about because of Brian Young's passion for puzzles. Brian plays with puzzles, designs puzzles, makes puzzles and collects puzzles; his personal collection of over 3000 different puzzles is one of the largest in Australia. He and wife Sue have created an amazing website dedicated entirely to puzzles.

Brian said, "I use my contacts with other puzzle designers and collectors around the world to source a wide variety of puzzles for our website."

"I strive to give customers the most choice possible. We sell all the puzzles you know, as well as puzzlesI make myself. There's also many more from other designers all over the world."

There are more than 300 different puzzles @ Mr Puzzle's web shop. Puzzles are categorised by price, by difficulty rating, by type, by maker and by theme. The site has a Search function and even a Hints page with advice for those buying a puzzle as a present for the first time.

"Our experience is that puzzles are for everyone; men and women, little kids and big kids!" says Brian, "So add some puzzle fun to your Christmas this year."
