If you have been trying to come up with a scientific experiment to find the best periodic table, put down that beaker before you blow something up! We here at Geek’s Oasis may have learned all we know from science by watching The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, but we still can appreciate how cool a periodic table looks.
We were kind of shocked that were as many periodic table puzzles as there are and we have had some fun putting together this list for you today. Usually, we look at stuff like Spider-Man and Pokémon puzzles so this one here is going to be a nice change of pace for us.
Doing The Math So You Do Not Have To
Do not worry, our experiments with gamma radiation and time travel were not for nothing, granted they did not result in what we expected.
However, the member of the Geek’s Oasis team that was conducting the experiments ended up… let's just say needing to take some time off after a couple of miscalculations and the good news is that they had more “free time” to find the best periodic table puzzle so you do not have to!

We got a real kick out of this EuroGraphics Illustrated Periodic Table as it not only has a full periodic table. Each of the elements here has a fun little picture, a battery for lithium, a bike for scandium, and a crown for gold.
It is a fun way to really take on board the information. This is also a great puzzle if you want one that you can do as a family, the pieces are a bit larger so it is easier for everyone to grab them and not all be in each other's way!
This could have quite easily been on our 500-piece puzzle post as it is so awesome.

How cool is this Oarencol Periodic Table of Elements puzzle? We love the old style this thing has, like something an old-timey scientist would have had on their wall when they were working hard on coming up with a new scientific discovery!
While it looks cool, the way this is just a couple of different colors is going to make this one of the most challenging puzzles we've looked at today. No doubt when people see this on your wall they will think that this is some old relic you saved from a decaying lab somewhere!

Ok, so while this EuroGraphics The Atom puzzle technically is not a periodic table puzzle, we felt that as a bit of a wild card entry, it was very fitting. If you have ever wondered about the power of The Atom and what exactly makes it, this puzzle is perfect for you.
It is done in a very similar way to a periodic table and it is not just educational. With 1000 puzzle pieces is also very challenging. Plus, we do feel that this would look pretty epic in a frame on your wall.
