Puzzles are hotter than ever this year, and now you can satisfy your puzzling needs with a fresh new collection from Kess.

The third-generation toy and game company launched de.bored, a vibrant new line of 500- and 1,000-piece puzzles designed to “help adults de-stress and solve boredom through colorful, strategic, and repeat puzzle play.” The new range includes artwork from Kii Arens and Charley Clements among others.

“Kess has emerged as a leader in outdoor, active play, but as winter approaches, we’re seeing families looking for equally-fun, stimulating activities to engage in indoors,” says Alex Kessler, founder and CEO of Kess. “With de.bored puzzles, our goal is to infuse modern and trendy designs with bold color palettes and original play patterns so consumers can enjoy solving puzzles again and again.”

The de.bored puzzle collection will expand with additional designs available on Amazon and the Kess website later this fall. If shopping online isn’t your thing, Kess expects to have de.bored puzzles available at retail stores across the U.S. next spring.
