Easy puzzles that aren’t childish?

Hi, I recently came across some puzzles that are made for people who have dementia, they come in 60 or 20 or I think 40 pieces. I really enjoy puzzles, but because of my very limited vision, I can’t really do more than 100 pieces easily, and I get very frustrated. All of the other puzzles for adults come in 500 or 1000 pieces, which I can’t do. I love puzzle But can anyone recommend some that I could enjoy that aren’t Disney characters?

Is there anything out there that might be a bit more tactile? What exactly are the 3-D puzzles? Do they have one of those in fewer pieces?

Gibsons do some 100 piece puzzles with extra extra large (XXL) pieces. I've found a few on Amazon by searching "Gibson XXL jigsaw".
Or, what about finding a photo company who will do personalised jigsaws? Then you could choose the picture and get it cut to shape. ASDA will do 112 pieces of anything you want.

Hi OP I’m looking for the same, also have poor eyesight but would like to get into puzzles. Like pp said Gibsons do some although I haven’t found a picture I want to do yet.

In the long grass, thank you. Who would I need to contact at asda about getting a puzzle made? I would love that.

If you go on Amazon and search "jigsaw for adults 100 pieces," you'll get a few.

Do you have a local sight loss centre? I have a visual impairment and I found a local sight charity had a number of large print visually easier games etc for example black and white monopoly and large print scrabble. I know this isn’t necessary what your looking for but they might have specialist knowledge

What about the Genius Square and the Genius Star? We got them for dd(11) but have taken over the star for ourselves. The square is much easier.
