Our Story

In what can only be described as a legendary burst of controlled chaos, Surly Dog Puzzles was conceived.

It was very much like when the Beatles started using LSD and came up with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was exactly like that. Without the LSD.

In 2019, The President and CEO of Surly Dog Puzzles had an epiphany right in his kitchen. “Jigsaw Puzzles”, he thought, “We need better jigsaw puzzles.” This revelation was furthered by a few obvious conclusions. There are things you do NOT skimp on: You do NOT go cheap on toilet paper. You do NOT go cheap on cotton swabs, and you do NOT go cheap on jigsaw puzzles.

We embraced this trifecta of regrets and have never looked back.

We at Surly Dog Puzzles are quite intellectually shallow, and the Vice President of Marketing and Communications will not even look up from her phone as she ignores you. Yet, despite our many, and obvious, shortcomings, one thing is certain. We love jigsaw puzzles and ours are better than any other puzzle company. If you disagree, there is probably something wrong with you.

We are glad you’re here.
