How do I Determine the Puzzle Piece Count for my Designs?

To determine the puzzle piece count for your designs, there are a few factors to consider. First, think about the complexity of the image. If your design is very detailed, you may want to use a higher piece count to make the puzzle as challenging as possible. Second, consider the intended audience. Are you designing a puzzle for children or adults? Puzzles aimed at children will have fewer pieces, while adults can handle more complex puzzles with a higher piece count.

Consider also the physical size of the puzzle. If you are stocking puzzles on a shelf, then a smaller puzzle box may be preferable. If your primary market is tourists who have limited space in their luggage, then again a smaller puzzle box form size may be more appropriate.
