Ok, we know that this Buffalo Games - 4-in-1 Marvel Comics set does not have a ton of reviews, but we know Buffalo Games pretty well here at Geek’s Oasis and felt that this needed to be on our list of 300-piece puzzles.
This gives you three 300-piece puzzles, one of Iron Man, Spider-Man, and finally The Avengers. These puzzles are themed to look like classic comic book covers and that is pretty awesome.
This set also comes with a more challenging 500-piece puzzle that features Thor, Hulk, Captain America, and Iron Man. The whole set has a retro look to it which we feel is very awesome!

FAQs About 300 Piece Puzzles
If you have a question or two about puzzles of this size, our nifty little FAQ here will hopefully have you covered!
Are These Not Just For Kids?
Hey, 300 pieces is still a challenge and just because they do not have “adult” in the packaging does not mean that they are for kids. A cool puzzle is a cool puzzle no matter what the age rating is on the box.
If you think a puzzle looks awesome, but it says the recommended age is 5, do not be put off by that! Also, why not work with puzzles having small piece count with the whole family?
Are These Much Easier Than A Larger Puzzle?
We would say yes, at the end of the day, there are many fewer pieces that you have to worry about here than if you were doing a 1000-piece or even a 500-piece puzzle.
That alone lessens the challenge here. However, you are still in for a brain-teasing time with a puzzle that is 300 pieces. Anyhow, you can rarely finish off a puzzle in one sitting, so consider using some puzzle storage options for stashing the puzzle away.
How To Stay Organized With Puzzles?
We have talked about puzzle roll-up mats here at Geek's Oasis before, but we feel it is worth mentioning here too. There are many styles of puzzle roll-up mats, and they can be a godsend.
With one of these, you can roll up your puzzle and you're free to continue it later without the worry of having to leave it lying out on the table or the floor! Nice especially if you have kids or some pet friends.
Some of these include a handy storage bag, which means that you can carry it easily and store it away for longer periods if needed.
Putting The Final Piece In Our 300 Piece Puzzles Guide
As we bring our 300-piece puzzles guide to a close we thought we would share some parting wisdom, kind of like Obi-Wan passing it on to Luke.
We have said it a few times, but 300 pieces do not automatically make a jigsaw puzzle easy or something that is for kids. Think of this as a way to have fun putting a jigsaw puzzle together, but not at the expense of all the free time you have!
Your mind is still getting a good workout and you are still using those same fine motor skills you would be using if the puzzle were 1,000 pieces. At the end of the day, a puzzle should be fun and we feel that all of the puzzles we have selected today are fun!
Happy Puzzling!
