A Deep Dive into the Trefl Spiral Puzzle: A Vibrant and Challenging Experience
Trefl Spiral Puzzles – Oh my goodness.
Trefl is already one of my favorite brands, after having done a Crazy Shapes puzzle. This time I scooped up a two more puzzles, one from the Spiral collection and one from the Prime collection.
I selected the Spiral Nature puzzle because the colors are stunning and ‘spiral’ sounded challenging. I was not wrong!
Let’s get into the nitty gritty of this impressive puzzle!

Trefl Puzzle Materials and Cut Style
Cut Style
The Trefl Spiral puzzles are a unique cut which is similar to the Krypt puzzle by Ravensburger in that they share the spiral center. Trefl’s spiral has more pieces per area and some of them are very small.
Materials
The Trefl Spiral puzzle has very sturdy pieces with a matte finish which made seeing the entire puzzle at once super easy. I didn’t have any issue with peeling and there was almost no dust at all. Winning!
Benefits of Doing Jigsaw Puzzles
There are so many benefits to doing jigsaw puzzles. Doing puzzles is similar to meditation; it helps you focus your mind. When concentrating solely on the puzzle, every day stresses and anxieties have no room to run rampant.
Memory improvement is another major benefit of puzzling; one must recognize patterns and shapes and remember where they belong in the wider picture. Studies show they are especially helpful for Alzheimer and dementia patients; the mental stimulation has been shown to delay a worsening of symptoms.
In addition to those skills, they help teach pattern recognition, shape sorting, color recognition, problem solving, and even patience.
Does Jen Recommend Trefl Spiral Jigsaw Puzzles?
This spiral puzzle was such a great challenge! My plan was to start in the center and work my way to the outer edges; which is how I approached my failed attempt at the Ravensburger Krypt puzzle.
After sifting through the box I started pulling out all the eye-popping colors and wound up doing everything colorful and leaving all the green corners for last. Yikes.
Those green corners were ultimately the most challenging, but no less fun than the colorful bits. I discovered a red-eyed tree frog hiding behind the spiral logo.
I absolutely recommend getting a Spiral puzzle if you’re looking for a challenge but don’t want to pull your hair out with a spiral puzzle that is all one color. So. Much. Fun.
