Puzzle Face™ Wins Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award 2023

Leading awards program for consumers and toy makers calls the 300-piece, one-of-a-kind innovation from StickTogether Products a “fun twist on a traditional puzzle”

NEW YORK, December 5, 2023 —Puzzle Face, a one-of-kind innovation from StickTogether Products, recently won an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award 2023 and was featured alongside other award winners on the TODAY Show. This highest recognition from the industry-leading awards program for consumers and toy makers is given to the “most innovative, engaging new products of the year.” 

“Winning an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award 2023 is a bucket list accomplishment for us,” said Sylvia Stein, president of StickTogether Products. “This award reinforces what we already know about Puzzle Face—it is truly a magical product for children, teens, and adults alike! We love that we are able to offer a product that brings people together, promotes collaboration, and leaves people in amazement.”  

The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio is an independent guide to children’s media and its awards are a benchmark for excellence with consumers, toy makers and the media. All Oppenheim Toy Portfolio winning products—including Puzzle Face—are selected by a noted expert in child development, children's literature, and education, and further tested by the most objective panel of judges—kids. 

With Puzzle Face, anyone can create an unlimited series of different faces—their face, a friend’s face, a famous face from history—all with one 300-piece puzzle that can be assembled and reassembled again and again. Creating a puzzle is as easy as taking or uploading a photo or selfie in the Puzzle Face Image Key app, saving the Image Key, and assembling the pieces code-side up—either solo or as part of a fun group activity—using the Image Key as a guide. Once completed, just flip the puzzle over to reveal the image.

The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio calls Puzzle Face “a fun twist on a traditional puzzle” and “a fun family project that can change every time you do it.”

Each Puzzle Face includes the 300 puzzle pieces and instructions and tips. The Image Key QR code found on the packaging is linked to a web-based app, which can be tried out on phones at puzzleface.letsticktogether.com.
