Surprise Puzzles
One of the most exciting trends in Halloween jigsaw puzzles is surprise puzzles. These puzzles offer a unique twist — once you’ve completed the main image, you’ll discover that a section of the puzzle is slightly different from what you expected. The image isn’t always the same as the box.
Featured are Puzzles of Doom and Flipsi Puzzles. Puzzles of Doom puzzles come in 2 bags — the small baggie contains the mysterious part of the puzzle that you complete once you’ve done the main puzzle. Flipsi Puzzles contain a surprise puzzle on the back of the puzzle! Some bundles come with the Flipsi board so you can reveal the back of the puzzle in a flash.
Halloween Towns
These puzzles depict charming, spooky cities and villages with colorful houses adorned with jack-o’-lanterns, cobwebs, skeletons, witches, and other festive decorations. You’ll often find scenes of bustling streets filled with trick-or-treaters in Halloween costumes, dance parties, and more.
Black Cats
Black cats have long been associated with Halloween, and they make a frequent appearance in jigsaw puzzles as well. These puzzles often feature a black cat perched on pumpkins.
Treats & Cookies
For those with a sweet tooth, Halloween treat-themed puzzles are an absolute delight. These puzzles often feature colorful assortments of candy corn, cookies, and chocolates. Trick or Treat — these puzzles are sure to be a delightful treat!
Witches
Witches have always been a staple of Halloween. These puzzles might showcase witches brewing potions in dark forests, flying on broomsticks against a full moon, or gathered around a bubbling cauldron.
Ghosts and Bats
These puzzles can range from cute, cartoonish ghosts and bats floating through a night sky to more detailed, eerie depictions of the spooky creatures.
Cabinets & Shelves
Another staple of fun spooky puzzles are cabinets and shelves full of curiosities, potions, poisons, cobwebs, skeletons, and more!

Pumpkins
No Halloween is complete without pumpkins (aka jack-o’-lanterns), and jigsaw puzzles featuring these iconic symbols are a festive favorite!
3D Puzzles
Unlike traditional cardboard puzzles, 3D puzzles allow you to build objects that stand up and can be used as functional items. Imagine constructing a haunted house that you can display, a glowing jack-o’-lantern, or even a spooky vase or flower pot—some 3D puzzles double as functional items, like a Halloween-themed light or a decorative jar.

Horror Movies
