Piecefolio

About this project

A decision guide, not another puzzle shop.

Piecefolio is an independent jigsaw guide built from manufacturer details, retailer listings, and customer reviews.

What we are building

Puzzle artwork can stay the same while the physical product changes. Piece count, factory, cut, board, finish, region, and production year can all affect the solving experience. This project keeps those editions separate and organizes the facts and reports that apply to each one.

The guide helps shoppers answer practical questions: Does the finished puzzle fit my board? Do reviewers mention glare or false fits? Which version are they describing, and where can I buy it?

The right puzzle

An artwork title is not enough. Edition, region, piece count, maker SKU, and physical specifications stay explicit.

Reviews with context

Feedback is summarized only when enough reviews describe a consistent pattern. Sources and counts remain available for anyone who wants to check them.

Clear shopping links

Shopping links lead to the matching product at the retailer. There is no Piecefolio cart, checkout, or account.

What we do not claim

  • We do not physically test puzzles, and we do not use “hands-on” or first-person review language.
  • We do not turn merchant star ratings into a Piecefolio rating.
  • We do not treat a brand-level reputation as proof about every edition.
  • We do not sell products, process orders, handle returns, or provide merchant customer support.
  • We do not declare a universal winner where the evidence supports different choices for different preferences.

How the project is funded

The service is intended to be funded through clearly disclosed affiliate links. A merchant may pay a commission after a qualifying purchase, without changing the shopper’s price. Commercial relationships must not decide what the evidence says or erase a useful competing option.

The current catalogue uses real product records, untagged manufacturer destinations, and proof-bound Amazon affiliate links wherever an exact child product has been verified. Read the full affiliate disclosure.

Current status

Piecefolio is operated by Adam Allcock from New York, United States. The public catalogue contains real puzzle listings and shopping destinations.

The first release is US-first and affiliate-funded. Coverage, methodology, merchant relationships, and policies will be updated as the catalogue and source set expand.
