Mission
Our mission is to create more than just beautiful puzzles, we want to create meaningful moments. In a world that's always connected, we invite you to slow down, disconnect from the noise, and then reconnect - whether it’s with yourself, a loved one or a group of friends - through the simple, satisfying act of puzzling. Our puzzles are a space for reflection, conversation and creativity, turning quiet time into quality time.
Why MasterPiece?
The name MasterPiece Puzzles was born from our desire to create puzzles that are not only fun to build but so beautiful that they could be considered masterpieces. We encourage you to frame your completed puzzle as unique wall art, especially if you don't plan to rebuild it. It's about transforming a relaxing pastime into a lasting expression of beauty, creativity and achievement.
Proudly South African
Born in Cape Town, MasterPiece is passionate about supporting the local economy. From producing our puzzles right here in South Africa to collaborating with local artists and photographers, we’re committed to showcasing homegrown creativity and craftsmanship. Every MasterPiece puzzle celebrates the richness of our local talent and keeps the heart of our business rooted in our beautiful country.
The Team
MasterPiece Puzzles was founded by South African artist and entrepreneur Matthew Bell. Behind every puzzle is our tight-knit team of four - Matthew, Marcelle, Lauren and Charmaine, each bringing creativity, passion and purpose to the table. From concept to craft, we’re the hands and minds making the magic happen, one piece at a time.

Our goal is for MasterPiece to become a beloved household name - first locally, and then around the world. Our puzzles will be go-to gifts: thoughtful, beautiful and meaningful. Whether on coffee tables or gallery walls, MasterPiece will be a name synonymous with connection, creativity and quality.
