Completing the Puzzle

What's in the box: Each delivery is a jigsaw puzzle picked to match your stated theme and piece count preferences, which you complete and send back for the next one.

Completing the Puzzle is a jigsaw puzzle rental service for people who love puzzling but do not want finished boxes piling up in the closet. The idea is simple: a puzzle arrives, you complete it, you mail it back, and another one comes. The company describes its plan as an unlimited rental subscription, so how many puzzles you get through depends largely on how fast you work. It says it stocks puzzles from well-known brands, and subscribers can set preferences such as themes and piece counts, though you do not pick the exact puzzle you receive. That surprise suits some people more than others. The clearest appeal is for fast, frequent puzzlers who would otherwise buy a new 1,000 piece puzzle every few days. Renting avoids both the cost of constant purchases and the storage problem. The tradeoffs are that you are handling puzzles other people have used, you have to keep up with return shipping, and you cannot keep a favorite. The homepage does not spell out pricing, so check plan details, return logistics and the policy on missing pieces before signing up. For steady puzzlers who value variety over ownership, it is a sensible, practical idea.
