Tiny Treehouse Puzzles by Complexity
On our site you will see we have created a menu section which covers the product by complexity level - click here for the summary. We’ve ranked the puzzle skill levels from 1-6 but we think some of our customers are ready for level 7-10 - watch this space.
Top Tips for Picking the Right Puzzle for Your Person
Whilst we believe everyone can build a Tiny Treehouse, we know not everyone has the time, patience or inclination to take on the most difficult 3D puzzle from the start.
So we’ve created a little “pen portrait” of the crafter hobbyist that might remind you of someone you know.
Meet Joe, the Architectural Model Maker
Joe is a 35-year-old architectural model maker who lives in a modern, minimalist home in the city. He's been building models for over 10 years and has a passion for creating intricate and detailed replicas of famous buildings and landmarks. When he's not working on a new model, Joe can be found experimenting with 3D puzzles or volunteering at a local museum, where he helps design and build interactive exhibits.
Joe's love for architectural model making started when he was a child, fascinated by the intricate details of his father's old model trains. As he grew older, Joe began to experiment with different materials and techniques, and soon he was hooked on creating miniature versions of his favorite buildings.
A set of challenging 3D puzzles can provide a fun and engaging way for Joe to relax and exercise his problem-solving skills.
Here’s some idea of who we think each puzzle type may suit and why.

Meet Bill, the Handy Craftsman
Bill is a resourceful and skilled hobbyist who spends most of his free time tinkering in his garage workshop. He's a master of DIY projects, from building intricate birdhouses to crafting charming postboxes, and fixing anything that needs mending. When he's not huddled over his workbench, Bill can be found scouring local flea markets and hardware stores for unique materials and tools to add to his collection.
Bill's love for crafting and fixing things started when he was a young boy, watching his father work on projects in their family garage. As he grew older, Bill began to experiment with different techniques and materials, from woodcarving to metalworking. He's always been drawn to the hands-on nature of crafting and the sense of satisfaction that comes with bringing a new project to life. Whether he's building a custom picture frame, fixing a broken clock, or creating a beautiful wooden decorative item, Bill's attention to detail and creativity shine through in everything he makes.
Bill's garage workshop is a testament to his passion for crafting and DIY projects. Shelves upon shelves of tools, materials, and half-finished projects line the walls, and the smell of sawdust and wood glue fills the air. It's a space where Bill can let his imagination run wild, where he can tinker and experiment to his heart's content.
