1. Reduces stress and relieves anxiety
Researchers have found out that solving puzzles helps us relax. Through this, our brain will produce more dopamine or the "feel-good" hormone. Accordingly, Dopamine contributes to feelings of alertness, focus, motivation, and happiness.
2. Improve memory and attention to detail
Studies have shown that solving puzzles is also good for our brain as it can improve our cognition and visual-spatial reasoning. The act of putting the pieces of a puzzle together which requires concentration helps us to be focused and strengthens our attention to details
3. Promotes collaboration and teamwork
Aside from creating a personal connection with others, doing a jigsaw puzzle in a group teaches us to work on our collaboration skills and teamwork spirit.
So why not complete one jigsaw puzzle when you need a healthy distraction?
But you know what? There's a place in the Philippines where you can appreciate a mindboggling puzzle art collection. Located in Asisan village in Tagaytay City, the Puzzle Mansion houses more than 1000 different jigsaw puzzles of all sizes, shapes, and forms earning the Guinness World Records certificate for having the world’s largest jigsaw puzzle collection in the world.
The collection consists of 2D, 3D, and 4D puzzles including replications of world-renowned paintings, embossed puzzles, ventricular puzzles, posters, photos, and even cityscape puzzles.
The place is considered one of the famous tourist spots in Tagaytay.
A souvenir shop is also located on the second floor where visitors can shop for various kinds of puzzles sourced directly from international manufacturers.
Here are photos of some of the puzzle collections in the mansion. I also wrote below the contact information of the Puzzle Mansion should you want to visit the place.
Enjoy 💕
