Minnesota (Not Always So) Nice Puzzle

We’re “Minnesota Nice,” but let’s be honest—there are a few not-so-nice things we good-naturedly put up with to enjoy our beautiful state. Hidden among the things we love in our vibrant seasons are some classic Minnesota nuisances. As you assemble the puzzle, you’ll uncover more pesky (and hilariously familiar) challenges every Minnesotan knows. It’s a lighthearted look at the quirks we embrace to call this place home.

Made for puzzlers by puzzles, all of our puzzles are made with quality in mind. They are constructed of recyclable premium blueboard and printed with non-toxic soy-based inks. They feature a high-quality, non-glare, matte finish on both the pieces and the boxes. The pieces are random cut making it more interesting to assemble. All artwork is hand-drawn, unique and designed to make every section of the puzzle fun and interesting!

Hi! I’m Melanie Rice,  a graphic designer based in the northwoods of Minnesota with over 20 years of experience in the creative world. While I offer a variety of design services, my main focus is on logo design and vector tracing—clean, crisp, and built to last. I don’t take on just any project; I like to work with people and brands that I truly connect with.

 

These days, my biggest passion is designing puzzles. Not your everyday puzzles, though—these are full of Minnesota charm, featuring whimsical hand-drawn illustrations that highlight the beauty, quirks, and spirit of this great state. You’ll find them in local shops around Minnesota, and they’re also available for wholesale if you’re looking to stock something unique and local.​
