Everyone loves Puzzle Face


The puzzle pieces are well made and they have held up so far with us building 20 or so faces.

My kids loved the photo key image generator and being able to do a puzzle of their face. The hardest part was them fighting over who got to do a photo of them next. Even my husband and I wanted turns at it.

Do not just buy one of these. Buy one for everyone of your kids. That will save you bickering about who gets to make their face next.

Loving this Puzzle Face project my 7th GT Ss did of Frankie’s face. They had a blast!

Amanda Hunt

The same 300 pieces can replicate an uploaded photo by using the generated image guide. Already thinking of ways to use this next year!

  • Yes

  • Puzzle Face™ is the brainchild of Ken Knowlton, Mark Setteducati, and Hiroshi Kondo. Knowlton (1931–2022) was a trailblazer in the field of computer-generated graphics, as well as an artist. His masterpieces explore the possibilities of pixels.

    When Setteducati, a seasoned magician and inventor, approached Knowlton with the idea of collaborating on a puzzle that could use one set of puzzle pieces to depict any face, Knowlton took on the challenge. They shared their invention with Kondo from Tenyo Co., a Japanese magic company. He loved the concept, partnered with Knowlton and Setteducati, and added key elements to the experience.

    When we heard about this puzzle, we knew we had to bring this remarkable invention into the StickTogether family of products. After adapting the piece design, interface, and game play, with the invaluable assistance of Serhiy Grabarchuk, Jr. of UniPuzzle, we are excited to share this mind-bending puzzle with you.

  • Good news! Since every piece is coded on the back, we can replace lost pieces. Just email us at puzzleface@letsticktogether.com with the code (number and color) of the piece that is missing. We will then send you a link where you can order the replacement pieces at $5 per piece.
