About Us

Mystery Matrix is an Australian-owned and operated jigsaw puzzle business based in Brisbane, Queensland. We specialise in thoughtfully curated, premium-quality puzzles that celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and mindful play.

Every puzzle in our collection is carefully selected for its design, quality, and the experience it offers. From striking artwork to satisfying piece cuts, our goal is to bring puzzles that feel meaningful, engaging, and worth slowing down for — whether you’re puzzling solo or sharing the moment with others.

Mystery Matrix was born during a deeply personal chapter of my life.

During the COVID lockdown, I had just welcomed my baby into the world. Like many new mothers, I struggled to find time for myself while navigating the constant demands of caring for a newborn. In the midst of that overwhelming period, I began searching for something—anything—that could bring me a small sense of calm and focus.

One day, while browsing a bookstore, I came across a jigsaw puzzle. On a whim, I picked up a 1,000-piece puzzle and decided to give it a try. That simple decision unexpectedly changed everything.

Puzzling quickly became something I could return to in small moments—while nursing my baby, in between cooking meals, while watching TV dramas or listening to music. It became a grounding ritual that helped me manage postpartum anxiety and my untreated ADHD, and most importantly, it helped me get through the long and isolating lockdown period.

By 2022, my love for puzzles had grown into a deep appreciation for puzzles with different textures, finishes, and tactile sensations—those subtle details that transform puzzling into a truly immersive experience. As I explored further, I discovered many incredible international puzzle brands offering exceptional quality and artistic designs. However, accessing these puzzles in Australia often meant ordering from overseas platforms and waiting six weeks or more for delivery.

That frustration sparked an idea.

I began reaching out to the brands I loved, with the goal of bringing their premium puzzles to Australia and New Zealand. I wanted fellow puzzle lovers to have the opportunity to enjoy these beautifully crafted puzzles without long wait times—while still receiving thoughtful, local customer service.

And that’s how Mystery Matrix was formed: from a personal journey, a love for puzzles, and a desire to share something meaningful with a growing community.
