Bigjigs Toys has acquired jigsaw brand The House of Puzzles.
“We are honoured to welcome The House of Puzzles into the Bigjigs family,” said Sam Ireland, Operations Director of Bigjigs Toys.

Ivor Cohen, a founder of The House of Puzzles, added: “We are delighted to pass the torch to Bigjigs Toys. Their stewardship, experience, and drive will re-energise The House of Puzzles, and we look forward to seeing it reach new heights under Bigjigs’ skill and guidance.”
