JaCaRou puzzles are primarily available as 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles, which represent the heart of their current lineup. A small number of earlier releases in 300, 500, and 150-piece formats may also be available while supplies last.

Many JaCaRou puzzle designs are created by founder and artist Anie Maltais, who combines her background in drawing and graphic design with a deep love of puzzling.

Unlike brands that simply license random artwork, JaCaRou designs many images specifically to function beautifully as puzzles. Composition, color layering, and detail placement are carefully considered to enhance the puzzling experience.

In addition to Anie’s work, JaCaRou collaborates with other talented artists, all while ensuring every image respects copyright regulations and artistic integrity.

This artist-led approach gives JaCaRou puzzles their distinctive, bold aesthetic.
