New Jigsaw Puzzles: Ravensburger, House of Puzzles & More | Week of 3-10 August 2026

It's a proper mixed bag of new arrivals this week — from cheeky cartoon nostalgia through to countryside charm, Mediterranean afternoons and a couple of puzzles clearly planning ahead for December. Whatever mood you're in, there's something here worth clearing the table for.

SpongeBob and nostalgic fun

Sometimes a puzzle doesn't need to be moody or atmospheric to earn a spot on the table — it just needs to make you smile. The SpongeBob SquarePants 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle from Ravensburger is exactly that sort of puzzle: bright, silly, and instantly recognisable, with a piece count that keeps it approachable for a family evening or a rainy afternoon with the kids. If you've got a Bikini Bottom fan in the house, this one practically sells itself.

Getting ahead for Christmas

We know, we know — it's still summer. But if you're the sort who likes to have a festive puzzle ready and waiting for the first properly cold evening, two new arrivals deserve a look. Away in a Manger by Keith Stapleton is a gentle, traditional nativity scene that feels like it was made for a quiet December afternoon by the fire, and at 1000 pieces it's a satisfying but not overwhelming winter project.

For something with a bit more mischief in it, the Elf Factory 1500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle ramps up both the piece count and the whimsy — think busy workshop scenes packed with detail, the kind of puzzle where every corner rewards a closer look. It's a lovely one to have tucked away for when the Christmas puzzling mood strikes properly.

Keith Stapleton's countryside charm

Keith Stapleton has a real gift for scenes that feel lived-in rather than staged, and Finding Fern by Keith Stapleton is a good example of that warmth. It's the sort of countryside imagery that tends to appeal to puzzlers who like a bit of narrative in their picture — somewhere you could imagine actually visiting rather than just admiring from a distance. If you enjoy browsing the wider House of Puzzles range, this one fits right in with their storytelling style.

Blanchouse's quirky narratives

Blanchouse puzzles always reward a slow, careful look, and this week brings two new ones into the range. Majorcan Life by Blanchouse leans into sun-soaked Mediterranean charm — the kind of puzzle that's genuinely nice to have half-finished on the table while you're still daydreaming about a summer holiday.

Untold Stories by Blanchouse takes a different tack, with the layered, slightly mysterious compositions that Blanchouse fans tend to love — plenty of small vignettes to pick apart piece by piece. Both are 1000 pieces, so a similar time commitment, but very different moods.

Summer scenes and big pieces

Rounding things off, Summer Garden Parlour by Emma Allen brings exactly the kind of soft, floral, tea-in-the-garden imagery that suits this time of year, and it's a nice addition to the Ravensburger range for anyone who prefers their puzzles gentle and pretty rather than dramatic.

Last but not least, Night Owls by Tracy Hall is a lovely one for puzzlers who want a proper picture without the marathon piece count — it's a "Big 500," meaning larger pieces that are kinder on the eyes and hands, ideal for a relaxed evening session or for anyone who finds standard 500-piece puzzles a touch fiddly.

That's the full line-up for this week, but new puzzles land regularly, so it's always worth a browse through our new arrivals collection to see what else has just come in.
